You are very welcome. Good luck, and any questions on lace, just ask.

Thank you. I am planning more.

You are welcome and congratulations on starting your lace journey.

@LouWoo I'm absolutely hooked already, this is a lot of fun :)

Thank you x

Beautiful!

@@tammibaker Thank you.

Hello, you can find the wedding garters at www.thecraftcorner.co.uk

@LouWoo thank you, I found them and bought both of the patterns. Currently working on the April 2011 (I think) garter that has the two different sizes that you layer together. And hopefully I have enough time to get that finished along with the lucky horseshoe pattern.

There are many different ways to make lace and you will always find this. Some books will say to go over and under and others will say under and over. As long as you do the opposite for each direction, you will be ok. You always have to have at least 1 twist after the gimp so you lock it in place. You want to mimic the stitch you are about to work.Use 1 twist after the gimp if you are going into a half stitch. If you were to go into a honeycomb then you would do 2 as the honeycomb stitch is half stitch, twist, the pairs end up with 2 twists on them. This pattern was using a ground so it was just the 1 twist. Hope that makes sense.

@@LouWoo Thanks, see, I dont see it as "the opposite" because you're always going under the same bobbin in a pair and over the other bobbin, its just a question of which comes first depending on direction :D but, now, i can understand differences in standards between lace types so bucks vs beds, or torchon or whatever, but, it was just confusinng that the same lace variant getting told almost like bible like "thou must do over and under" and the next person swearing its "under then over" from the same direciton, but i can see one having confusion because if you twist before, lets say once.. so right over left, ikf your gimp goes under the one on the left, which is the one that was on top, it will snug up against the work before, if you go over it it will be separated by that twist.. so it does kinda matter (which makes you most likely right, than the others .. hence asking you not them :D)

@@lizkimber This is one of the problems with lace, I think it's all to do with how lace travelled around the world and people making their own rules. Nothing is set in stone in lace, which is one of the things I love about it. You just get used to it and then it will break out and go off in a different direction. I would go along the lines that if it works for you and makes sense then go that way. Hope that helps.

You are welcome. So glad it made sense.

Ahhh thank you. This is such a beautiful craft and really has to be shared.

That does make sense, however if you look in different books, some will say to go one way and other's the opposite way, and not everyone will see it as you do, hence the cheat sheet to help other's learn. As long as you make sure that you work the gimp in the opposite way to each side, you will achieve the gimp. I have found after 20 years of teaching that unless you work a gimp regularly, you are not likely to remember the directions, so having a little note on your pillow to start with is a great help.

Sorry I don't know the prices, ping me over your email address to info@thecraftcorner.co.uk and I will pass your details on.

Thank you. You are very welcome.

Ahhh thank you. I hope you can start making lace now. If you have any questions then please just ask.

That is great, I would suggest, if you can find one to go for a block pillow. I need to make a video on pillows so hopefully that will guide you. Have fun and if you have any questions, please ask.

You can see how I sew pairs in, this is an old video that I made ua-cam.com/video/3F9u6yaxKQw/v-deo.html As I progess through the beginners lessons, there will be a square which will involve sewings.

That's what I thought, books don't cover mistakes which I personally think are very important.

Wow, thank you!

Thank you, so glad it helps. Lace making can be confusing but so rewarding.

That's great and please do. I shall be following this up with how to work Torchon ground stitch shortly.

You are welcome. So glad the video is helpful. Next up will be Torchon Ground Stitch

Thank you, I've always said that if you can count to 4 then you can make lace. Keep an eye out as I am hoping to release the first steps in Torchon lace shortly.

Thank you. The next video will be out shortly.

Thank you.

Thank you. You are very welcome and I hope you can find somewhere to have a go, it really is a fantastic craft to learn.

Thank you. I will be bringing out the half stitch video in a couple of weeks. Hope you've downloaded the free pattern. Have fun making your lace.

It would be a good way of seeing all the different rose grounds together.

@@LouWoo thanks for the video, it was excellent

Yes, don't go for very large beads, I would go with 6mm for the head bead and then go for 4mm for the other beads, getting smaller as you get nearer to the bobbin. Definately don't go with anthing that hangs down as these will get caught up when you make a sewing.

Watch this space as there are some beginner lessons arriving soon. Just have to wind the bobbins!

It should be redirecting to The Craft Corner in the next 48 hours.

@@LouWoo thank you!

Hello, I would hang them on a single pin and then hang the first pair on the pin, then add the next pair making sure it goes outside the first pair, one bobbin on the left of the first pair and the other bobbin on the right of the first pair, like a rainbow. Then add the next pair on the outside of the 2 pairs, one bobbin on the left and one bobbin on the right so you keep the rainbow going. Then add the last pair in the same way. This means that all the original pairs will be split up, making new pairs. Hope this makes sense.

It's the garter pattern that I designed for my daughter's wedding. I haven't released it yet as I need to write the instructions.

You can work the gimp either way as long as you work the opposite when you work the gimp in the other direction. If you look at books, there is no set rule, some say over and under, under and over and some say the other way round. What is clear is that if you work in one direction, say you go left as over and under, when the gimp travels to the right in the other direction it has to be opposite so it would be under and over. Hope that makes sense.

Hi, there will be shortly, this is one of the early videos and I was a bit shy!

It varies due to the different woods that are available. I would contact Joe and discuss it with him.

Thank you. I'm working on it.
