This book is reviewed on lace gumnuts: Christine starts with a couple of pages of FAQ’s, then goes on with directions illustrated by photos for using magic threads with Torchon edging starts in trails and in fans, Torchon finishes, and then several pages on using magic threads in Bedfordshire Lace. She also covers the use of a darning magic thread, which is where you attach the magic thread loop to your bobbin, to enable you to darn away ends. Torchon and Beds are the only laces she specifically mentions, but the techniques could certainly be used for other types of laces – in fact, anywhere where you need to tie in threads. I’ve used the techniques in the book very successfully in coloured tape lace, where I wanted small areas in a contrasting colour.

This book was reviewed on lace gumnuts Comes with a little parcel of the variegated thread that Christine refers to in the book. A book of little motifs using leaves, and detailed instructions on how to achieve matching variegated leaves. Lots of clear diagrams and written instructions, there are 9 pages of technique notes at the end, including written instructions on how to make leaves, plaits and picots. Summary a very useful little booklet which I recommend. |
