I believe torchon ground is a 45 degree angle, not 53. Point ground laces range from 52 to about 60 degrees I think.
45 degrees will give you a different look. You might be able to do it with some skill and advanced techniques, if you're doing it in torchon lace. I'd recommend looking at books and magazine articles that cover Floral Torchon techniques. Jenny Rees in Australia, put out a wonderful book of Australian floral torchon patterns, and she has good instructions accompanying them covering more advanced techniques needed to create the patterns (like Gimp Loops). It might be a good place to start. I have a feeling there's an older book on floral torchon, but I can't think of the author or correct title, and didn't find it in a quick and dirty search of the 'net. I'd have to go to more specific sources to locate a title. Hope this helps. Helen - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
