I have been stitching up this Teneriffe Lace set to prove that my new looms (to the left in the photo above) will work together to create this 9 motif doily. This set includes a larger motif in which I put more stitching & time into to create a ‘centerpiece’. Then I surround that center motif with smaller, simpler motifs.
I used to use plastic canvas rounds (pictured in the above photo to the right) as my ‘looms’ to complete this doily set but there are problems with this approach (one-use only & the larger PC round is unavailable now–see kit image below). So I set out to recreate this doily in NeedleLaceArts slotted, reusable wooden looms. This involved a bit of math (more about that in the future) as well as ‘trial & error’ stitching. But the lace above proves that my looms work!
This kit will introduce approaches to stitching motifs together into a larger piece/doily.
