Synopsis

In this Brother Success Machine Tutorial I will be covering Thread Lace. The schematic for the cover garment is included in the book. Although it’s named “lace”, Thread Lace (aka Punch Lace), is not a traditional knitted lace. No stitches are transferred and it doesn’t utilize the lace carriage. Rather it is a technique that simultaneously knits with two yarns that match in color-one of the yarns being very, very fine (basically thread) and the other being fine to medium. It gives the resulting knit fabric a lacy look, hence the name “Thread Lace”. It is a technique that can be done on certain models of the 'Japanese' machine brands (Brother, Studio, Toyota), but not on the European double bed machine brands (Passap, Superba). The user guide of any specific model will tell you if it is capable of doing thread lace, although the rule of thumb is if it can do plaiting (plating, platting), it can probably do thread lace. This book includes 20 pages where you can record your own knitting information so you have your steps that can be repeated when you find a design you like.
