Still very instructional, but good to see your face on the thumbnail!! “I can catch up on my sleep when I’m dead!” That’s a line I’ve thrown out my whole life, since I am legit both a morning person and a nighttime person!
Just learning to do needle lace myself. Usually you take thinner thread for the cordonet and double it so you can split it at "intersection". With the flower you'd lay the "end loop" of the doubled thread on the circle right next to one of the petal lines, stitch it down and the fix the cordonet around the circle. Then the thread the loose cordonet ends through your needle lace needle, and pull it through the loop. Fix it with one stitch. Then you go with the cordonet around the first petal to the point where it meets the line of the next petal. There you split the cordonet, thread one of the threads into the needle lace needle. And thern you pull that single thread to the center circle along the line, go under the cordonet of the circle and then fold the thread over, so it goes back to the last bit you sewed down on the petal. So now you have two parallel threads on that "tricky" line between the petals. Stitch them down until they meet the second thread of the cordonet again. Rejointhem and do the next petal and repeat the "split and reunite" at the next intersection. Sorry, English isn't my first language and I don't know if it makes any sense if you don't see it in front of you.
That was a great explanation of the method, thank you! I finally found a video that fully showed how to do the double cordonnet and why you use two cords instead of one, but it was quite a while after making this video. I should revisit the topic soon!
@@gettheetothestitchery Please do! I recently got into embroidery and don't know much at all about it I when came across this video. I have been watching your "try anything related to fiber arts" videos. You occasionally mention that you embroider as a hobby, but I hadn't thought to look to see if you had any embroidery specific videos until I found this one. Your videos are less intimidating to me, because you are learning as I am learning and I know what kind of mistakes I am likely to make when I try needle lace for myself.
I swear I love this channel so much. I saw a girl making lace with lots of pins and strings on tik tok and I was mesmerized. They were kind of waving it through and it was beautiful. Also, my grandma (who owned a haberdashery- english isn't my first language, but yeah, a shop to buy all sewing and knitting things- and was the neighborhood's clothes fixer) showed me a way to make lace from tulle on her ancient sewing machine. 90 years old and she still has that magic when she sews!
That's amazing! I love hearing that skills and arts like lace-making are getting passed down through the generations - your grandma sounds like a very special lady!
Yay! A style of lace I am willing to learn. I have enough backlog of projects I wasn't going to add bobbin lace to my list of hobbies, as tempting as that is, but a lace that uses the tools I already own? Yes please!
I've been waiting for this since you took that poll in your community tab a while ago 🤩 I'm so ready for this and the next video about around the world needle lace!
I just love this tutorial. We, your viewers, have lessons in what TO do ... what works... and what NOT to do...what doesn't work so great... so we don't have to make those mistakes. I love your enthusiasm. I love your courage. Thanks so much for this. This is the first video I have watched from your library. I am looking forward to more.
This type of lace takes a lot of practice to get consistent but it is beautiful and fun to do… “Lacis” is a good place to find info on this subject… and tools and materials… love and hugs
Great video! And welcome to the world of lace! I have some unsolicited pointers for your future projects. The "A practical guide to needle lace" is probably one of the best books on the market right now to learn French style needle lace. Also for french needle lace you'll want to ditch the embroidery hoop because it becomes more of a problem when you do more complicated pieces. And the doubled up cordonnet thread is important because it solves the branching problems when you're couching. I hope to see more of your projects in the future! Happy lace-ing!
Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely add that book to my "buy" list, and on the cordonnet... yeah. Haha I did further research on needle lace and specifically making the cordonnet a few months ago and realized that I made it so much harder on myself by not doing the proper doubled up method!
I've just begun embroidery and I wanted to say a big thank you for all your tutorials. I'm fascinated by the various textures that can be achieved with this medium and this video is giving me so many project ideas.
It looks as though the needle lace stitches would be an ideal way of joining two or more pieces of unrelated lace together. I have several inherited pieces and have wondered just how I could do that. Old lace is far too precious to live packed way in a drawer but if it could be beautifully joined in a well related way it could be employed for future wearing or shown off in a picture frame. I will stay tuned!!!
Thank you for this video. I have been trying to do an embroidery by Hazel Blomkamp but couldn’t understand the written instructions. Your clear instructions was very welcome and I was able to do complete the needle lace right
Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed to better understand what I was reading and seeing with other mixed media artists. Can't wait to watch part II. :)
Wow! That is fantastic! I love the dragon fly!!! And I'd be proud of that flower and sew it on my Jean jacket with the other flowers. I think it is really cool.
I've just started learning to make needlepoint lace making. I actually saw it when Morgan Donner asked Marika from Enchanted Rose Costumes (see Marika's channel for her videos) to help her with it. I've started using the batternburg technique of using lace tape to start and a cushion to back it with. It's a technique not for the faint-hearted! So nice to see someone else from an embroidery background diving down the rabbit hole that is needlepoint lacemaking! 😍
Enchanted Rose Costumes was one of the many places I did research for this video! Marika is great! And yes, needle point lace is just incredible, and so under-taught!
@@gettheetothestitchery I go to a group every week where everyone does something with fibre. There's a lady there who's going to bring me a bunch of books to peruse on lacemaking 🎉
I love the idea of making lace, but bobbin lace seems too fiddly for me. I like to pack my little embroidery kit everywhere. I am so glad I found your video. I hope you make more videos about needle lace. I am off to watch your video on needle lace from around the world (or around Europe😉).
I am just researching different ways to make lace and come across your video, I have been watching bobbin lace making, but I had never heard of needle lace . I find it curious that the first stitch you made is the same kind of "stitch" used in making dream catchers and fishing net making. very interesting indeed! Love this style and would love to see more. I am curious if this could be done in a different way. Not sure if I can put this into words, OK the square outline you made by stitching, could that be done by oh similar to a finger stitch in crocheting? and could that "square be pinned to a surface then using you needle in lacing make the lace so it can be detached as like lace is? I hope you can follow that, it is hard for me to put some thoughts or ideas into words rightly.
Ha! This is quite interesting. I was trying to find tutorials on drawing lace (as that's a project I'm currently working on.) And came here, looking at how lace is made and what it should look like! This is definitely going into my references, as understanding lace making (even if I can't make it myself) will definitely help me to design lace I reckon. Tnx for this awesome video!
I’d love to see you work with some Armenian needle lace because I just learned and it takes some fiddling around to get it right. I’ve only found one lady who does it regularly and that RUclips is Become Inspired.
I actually haven't seen a tutorial on that particular style, so I'll add it to my list of things to make! If it helps at all for the moment though - it's just the same Brussels (or detached blanket stitch) done with no particular pattern in mind.
Love this! Looking forward to the next video. My country Belgium is famous for lace but I don’t know whether we are known for this kind too. Either way I’m really interested to know what you find out!!
I just found you in the middle of the night when sleeping just doesn't come I have been stitching for 50+ years. I would love to see the back of some of your projects. Yes I know but as a stitcher I would love to know how I am doing. This is a personal thing an in no way ment to be a slam, to much of that in the world today.
This is the coolest thing I've seen in a LONG TIME!!! You were rather brave to try it. But I'm glad you did. I think you did a great job. Love this video. I hope you do more needle lace videos. What do you do with these??? I'm going to try this for sure. Thank you for sharing this. Austin,TX USA
Definitely try it! I found needle lace so relaxing and enjoyable... and there's more videos in the works! And what do I do with them... stash them! Everything I sew either gets stored in bags in a cabinet or put on display on my wall. These pieces were half and half...
Hi , I am from India interested in different type of needle lace designs, I searched for oya thread , but it's delivery charges more than thread cost , I don't get any platform in India to buy the oya thread...can you tell me what is the best platform to buy them
Have you tried Hardanger? I got into it because I couldn’t find the old fashioned doily’s anywhere and I don’t crochet. I do cross stitch and Hardanger.
Haha that's so interesting! There's a bunch of ways to tie off or secure your thread, and I feel like we all latch on to a certain one and it seems like that is the only or at least main one... but yeah, I only recently learned about the loop method!
The Modern Maker: Mathew Gnagy check him out in youtube it has a lot of eamelia ars videos! And if i am not wrong lace began as embroidery yes until it became detrached from its base.

Then, dexorations and the fabric behind woild be cut... and such... anyhow congratulations for your videos you give us a base so er can also go on trying new techniques!
This is awesome. Please do more! RUclips is a bit limited when it comes to lace making
It so is! More lace videos coming soon!
True! It's SOO hard to find resources for lace making😭😭

The rainbow flower is gorgeous and it's ok that it's not perfectly perfect, it wasn't made in a factory. 💖
I can't believe how easily you mastered what seems so complicated, you rock! Hopefully soon you'll film some tutorials about how to make it ❤

Very intriguing. Definitely more.
You can use some thicker thread on the outline or maybe begin the lace with some neutral cord and end the outline with silver or goldcord.

Wow this is what I am looking for
OMG, that looks sooo coooool ! I will definitely try this outtt tysmmm ❤❤
You definitely should! It was a really fun experiment!
This is very nice.
A tip is to use a pin in a loop to keep it the same tension whilst you pull it tight then remove the pin
That's a great idea!
Found your video on Sashiko and got started down the RUclips trail. Did you try Sagan Lace? Hope so it’s a beautiful art. Il keep watching 🧜♀️

Oe now im realy curious for the next part:D. Consider me a new follower because i love learning new stiches:D.
Welcome! The next needle lace exploration is coming soon!
Thanks:D im looking forward to it:). This is such good fuel for my adhd, i love creating things with my hands:D.
Some how reminds me of crochet. Interesting.
Definitely has some similarities!
🤩🤩🤩
Ah! #3 is basically holly point!
Yes please
Wow!jst big kisssss for u😘.love your work.u r soo good
Thank you so much!
Make a lace pillow and patterns and use size 30 or 20 crochet cotton
Oo that's such a good idea!
I'm using size 10 at the moment. Once I'm more confident I'll go to size 12 🤣🤯
too cool!!!!!
Wait... I always start my stitches for everything with the loop on the end. I thought everyone did that.
