Well done, Rebecca.
Remember - Mistakes just prove it is Hand Made, - not made by a machine!!! (Well, that is always My excuse, anyway!!) - and how boring to keep making Perfect Lace!!!!! :) Mine always has "variety"!!!!!! :)
Keep going with it, - it will improve with practice. Just enjoy making it, and don't get too hung up on getting perfect work every time.
Well done, Rebecca. That is coming along nicely. Don't get too concerned about tension, - it will soon come automatically!!! Keep trying different stitches, and you will find the ones you like best, and the ones you find hard to do, etc
Just enjoy the journey!!.
Hello everyone
I love lace! I am just learning how to do this thing called needle lace. For me the skill of women in the 19th century is something that history has almost forgotten. And man did those ladies LOVE their lace! I started a little sampler below. I know my tension is off but I do not think it is too bad.
why are the pics showing a cylinder insert under the pattern when using a bolster pillow? thanks
Thank you Lorelei. I find these videos inspiring to watch :)

Please let me clarify myself is there any books that show you how you can connect your motifs and different ground stitches that are used? Thank you!
