Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from Church Lace: Being Eight Ecclesiastical Patterns in Pillow-Lace

To close in means that when a pin has been put in a hole, a stitch is then to be made with the same pairs of bobbins as were used before the pin was put in, and the same stitch is to be used unless otherwise directed.

To twist is to cross one bobbin of the pair mentioned over the other, always right over left.

To plait is to make a succession of single stitches with the same pairs until the length of plait desired is achieved.

To double-wind Wind one bobbin twice as full as required, and then wind ofi from it on to another bobbin till the two bobbins are about equally full. This makes a linked pair without knots: fix the thread round the neck of each and the pair is ready for use.

To add in Having made the stitch last mentioned and put in the pin between the pairs as directed, hang the new pair or pairs over the pin just inserted. Then bring the new pairs into use by making the stitches with them according to the instructions.

Overlapping When there are a great many bobbins in a pattern it is impossible to have them all spread out at once. To avoid disarranging them a good plan is to cover those temporarily out of use with a small handkerchief and then the ones in use can be laid on top of the handkerchief. One can even have two layers covered with handkerchiefs and often when working with the middle bobbins, one is required on each side.
