A busy week doing more on my response to the Battle of
Britain commemorative lace panel. I was going to work the central needlerun
lace panel on an embroidery frame, but I’ve started by running in some of the
main outlines on the flat, on a large table, and that seems to be working well,
so I may not use the frame after all. At the moment I have the pattern and the
net clipped together at the top but not the bottom so I can roll up the net to
see the pattern more clearly if I need to. The ribbon is just to stop the clip
snagging the net. I drew the design using pencil and was going to redraw it on
to fresh tracing paper with a waterproof pen, but I’ve found that just adding
another layer of tracing paper over the top still allows me to see the design,
so that has saved me a job. I was also unsure whether the net I’m using would
fray at the edges as I worked but it seems to be keeping its shape and keeping
it flat rather than winding it on to a frame will probably help that too. So
far so good!
