Book Reviews of Beginner's Guide to Bobbin Lace

Book Review: This is IT!
Summary: 5 Stars

If you know nothing about Bobbin Lace, this is the place to start. Presents an excellent background in the basic stitches and leads you through practice exercises for each type of stitch. The six bookmarks at the beginning give you finished products quickly without a great deal of expense or time. It's also filled with pictures to compare your work with.

The rest of the book allows you to perfect your skills with slightly longer projects. They look like they will be just as well presented as the beginning section.

I have encountered only one problem. It is not necessary to purchase all the equipment they say you need. We bought only a pack of bobbins to start with; everything else needed could be adapted from things we had. Now that I know I want to do more, we can get the professional equipment.

Summary of Beginner's Guide to Bobbin Lace

To the uninitiated, a lace pillow set up with dozens of bobbins looks very complicated, but this manual shows the simplicity of the basic moves: only four bobbins are in use at any one time, and there are only two moves?twist and cross. Focusing on Torchon lacemaking techniques?Bruges and Chantilly lace are two other well-known traditions?these lessons begin with small lace bookmarks worked in various designs before progressing to full-scale projects: a purse, a bag, a cushion, and two scarves. All are presented with step-by-step instructions, close-up photos, and a complete set of pricking patterns. Additional material covers techniques for adding beads and tassels and working with such unconventional materials as wire, cable, and thick wool yarn.
