Beginning Bobbin Lace: Tape Lace
Chattanooga Convention Center - 1150 Carter Street, Chattanooga, TN, USA
Beginning Bobbin Lace: Learn the basics of bobbin lace in the Torchon style! From pillows to bobbins, prickings to pins, we will give you all of the basic information you need to try the wonderful world of bobbin lace, and teach you the stitches (cross and twist), and the combinations used to make half stitch, cloth stitch, and double stitch.
Students should bring the following:
-Pillow (should be a sturdy foam covered in a darker blue solid cotton fabric - commercial or home made is fine)
-Thread - Lizbeth size 40, three different colors that will provide some contrast.
-7 pairs of bobbins: wind 1 pair (workers) with a yard of one color on each bobbin (wound as a pair), wind 3 pairs (passives) with 1/2 yard each of a second color and 3 more pair with 1/2 yard each of the third color.
-Scissors
-Stainless steel pins
