Once used primarily for fishing, netting now works beautifully as a base for filet lace. While many lacemakers use commercially available varieties, Margaret Morgan wanted unique sizes and colors. So she began to make her own. Here she explains the equipment she uses and the traditional techniques she has gathered from old source material, and provides 40 patterns with instructions for creating different shapes and edgings. Use the lace for scarves, shawls, place mats, doilies, and even miniature items for a dolls house.

Margaret Morgan is a member of the Australian Lace Guild and the Embroiderers’ Guild of South Australia and has been taking classes in filet lace and netting for over twenty years. She is also a miniaturist, and a member of the Miniature Needlework Society, and for many years ran a business called “Thumbelina”, designing and selling miniature embroidery kits for dolls houses. In 2005 Margaret retired and she and her husband moved to a four acre property near the South Australian country town of Yankalilla. It was then that she wrote her book Filet Lace, Stitches & Patterns, which was published in 2006. Since then, while still taking the occasional workshop in filet lace or netting and regularly attending local craft groups, she has been dividing her time among her passions: designing and stitching filet lace, netting and miniature embroideries; gardening; and local history research.

Paperback. Condition: New. Netting had its origins in prehistoric times with the invention of fishing nets, and later became one of the very earliest forms of lace. Its use was widespread as the base for filet lace. Many of today's filet lacemakers use machine-made net as the base for their work, but Margaret Morgan found herself challenged by the need for netting in sizes and colours that were not commercially available, and discovered the techniques hidden in old source material. In Netted Lace she presents the simple equipment and techniques required to make your own netting, with detailed illustrated instructions for netting backgrounds in a variety of sizes and shapes, and numerous edgings.There are patterns for round, rectangular and oval table mats, table centres and doilies of netted lace, many of which can be embroidered in linen stitch. Margaret's experimentation has also led to patterns for attractive scarves and shawls made with heavier yarns and larger needles, using basic netting techniques, and for miniature items which could be used in a doll's house, made with very fine threads and smaller needles - more than forty patterns overall. Margaret hopes that this book will capture your imagination and that you too will enjoy experimenting with netting. Seller Inventory # LU-9781863514514
