Bobbinlace for beginners
Learn the three basic stitches and complete a bookmark pattern
This class is designed for beginning bobbin lace students. The information and instructions you will receive are both in video and text. The first portion of the information I will go over four visual charts with valuable information that you will be using throughout the classes. Our videos are broken down in short segments covering each topic. This will enable you to refer to each subject for information as often as needed without reviewing a full taping. The videos are also filmed as if you are watching my hands. You might say you have front row seats right with me. I have tried to make the course informative and easy to follow. I hope you will come and enjoy the experience of learning bobbin lace.

“Like I said before, I joined your beginner class even though I have been doing Torchon for over two years and figured I already knew the basics and would just watch to make sure I had the stitches named correctly, etc. Seems every book is different. It wasn’t much fun just watching so I decided to work along with you through the class. I was sure that I really wouldn’t learn anything new with this first little strip, after all I had done a hundred of them. Well, I must tell you.....I was so wrong. Something as simple as putting the twists in the right place and pulling the passive threads the correct way makes the work look so much more professional. It was the details most books and tutorials don’t bother with. It’s the neatest looking work I have ever done even though the bobbins were tied together at the top, there were only 8 pair and the thread was Lizbeth #20. You are very good and easy to follow. I am excited for the next class. Anxious to get to the dogs and similar designs. I hope it won’t be long. Thanks again. I’m so glad I found you.”
Connie W.“I loved this class, it really helped me understand the process better. When I had questions they were very helpful in answering and giving suggestions for how to fix what I was having trouble with. I found the teachers instructions easy to follow and was able to pause and go back as much as I needed to, so I could really understand. I am a very visual learner. I can't wait for the next class. Please come learn with me! You won't regret it and you'll be making lovely lace in no time.”
