A weaving friend of mine was doing bobbin lace and I thought it wonderful
but my life was too busy with a little granddaughter, big dogs etc. I
couldn't see a bobbin lace pillow surviving without spills. Some years later

I remember when Doris celebrated her 80th - birthday (I *think* that was
the auspicious number!). Someone on Arachne suggested that we send her

I do hope that Doris is out there reading all these lovely comments about her.
I'm sure she is touched.
My first encounter with bobbin lace occurred in the early 1980's. My husband

I agree with everything Lyn says about Doris. I have a profound reverence
for her. She was so generous and helpful, beyond just writing the book.
She invited me to visit her a few times and we talked lace all day for
several days. As far as I am concerned, she is the Great Lady of American

Thanks for the ideas, both have potential. I found directions for a false
footing at the top of a pattern in the Miniature Bobbin Lace book that I am
going to experiment with. That might work with the zigzag corners.

I usually tension at the end of the row after setting the pin, but when doing
whole stitch (CTCT) I tension at each stitch. If you are doing a long row of
whole stitch, it is hard to tension the workers so I give a tug at each stitch
but then do a final tension after setting the pin.
As usual,

Count me in as another of Doris's remote students! I wanted to make
proper lace to go on my 15th century costumes and once I figured out that
bobbin lace was one of the "correct" forms, it was Doris Southard's book
that I wound up with. I think it was in the beginning kit I ordered from

I too, am a Doris Southard student.
In late 2009, I was working in a needlework shop and on 2 separate occasions
a lace maker came in looking for supplies. I was intrigued.
I went to the Vancouver Lace Club and bought some used bobbins and a pillow.
With the busy season ahead I put of startin

How many of her (Doris Southard's) students are on Arachne?
Hi All,
I began with Doris Southard's book also and worked to about the middle of
the book and then switched to Judith Markham's on-line Torchon Beginners
class.

As I mentioned a while ago, Doris Southard was my lace teacher. What I
mean, of course, is that I used her book to learn bobbin lace. I had seen
lace being made at a craft show in Newnan, Georgia outside Atlanta in
September, 1979, and I had to do it. I knit, can crochet, although I don't,

why.

Hi Jane,
I remember everyone making 5's & 0's for the 2003 IOLI Convention.
So have a look through the IOLI Bulletins - page 21 in Vol 22, Fall 2001.
I had a tatting pattern published on pages 28-29 in Vol. 23, Winter 2003.
Have fun,

As far as I know, there is no special rule for tensioning, except frequently.
It depends on your project... what kind of thread, the space between pins...
that sort of thing. Thread that is slick and moves easily might be tensioned
at the end of a row. Thread that is not slick..like some line
