Torchon Squares Part 1 of 4
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 02. 2021
- This is the first of a set of 4 videos for working a set of small square Torchon lace designs. The videos demonstrate and guide you through a range of techniques and the patterns can be worked in a variety of different ways.
There is a pattern pack that accompanies the videos which contains 4 different coaster size patterns plus a 5th that I work in the videos that is a sampler of all 4 designs.
The pattern pack consists of a front sheet with photos of the finished lace and what you need to work the designs, a pattern sheet with starting diagram and also the prickings pre printed onto a sheet of buff coloured 230gsm cardstock.
You can buy the pattern from me for £4 by contacting me at claire@bonitocrafts.co.uk or you can buy online at www.roseground.com where you can also purchase the threads you need along with the pattern packs for all my other designs.
If you have enjoyed this video or the others on my channel please feel free to drop something in my tip jar at paypal.me/pools/c/8w4Nj82pot
The glass coasters can be found at www.harlequinlace.com - Hudba
You have a beautiful voice and you really explain well! You made lace making seem reachable. Thank you for sharing your diy!
I have become fascinated by bobbin lace and I've watched a lot of videos. Yours is so clear and explained so well. I don't know if I'll ever have a chance to actually try this, but I'm subscribing so I know where to find some good information. Thanks!
Oh my goodness. You are a very good teacher. I learned so much. Thank you very much. 2 videos watched 2 more to go.😊😊
Thank you. You’re very kind.
I just ordered this pattern pack today and I am so excited and can't wait to follow along with you and do these beautiful patterns!
Very clear, thank you.
Brilliant, as always! Thank you Claire
Thank you Pauline. Much appreciated.
Beautiful
I am so impressed with the way to teach ❤
Thank you. Your kind comments and feedback are very much appreciated.
Thank you.
Спасибо!
Thank you so much!!!
You’re very welcome.
J adore ❤
Absolutely amazing have always wanted to learn this skill , must be pricey to get all the equipment?
hello Claire, thanks for yet another great set of videos! I am working this pattern, but have a worker pair for the fan in a contrasting colour. I see that at the beginning you twist the leftmost bobbins twice, and make this the worker pair. I cannot do that if I want to keep both workers in the contrasting colour, so I hang the two pairs on the first pin so as not to "mix" the two bobbin pairs. Should I place the magic thread in the same way as you do, or should I place it differently (i.e. with each magic thread going below one bobbin and over the other, or something else entirely)? Thank you!
If you have a different colour for the fan worker you can do one of two things.
Either make the edge pair the same colour as the worker or if you lay one pair flat on the pillow and lay the coloured pair across it in the opposite direction. Lift up the pair underneath so that the two pairs are linked. Then hang round the top pin and twist both pairs once.
In both cases you can place two magic loops into the top pinhole to help finish the piece.
If you look at the start of the rainbow video I link different coloured pairs in the start of that.
Hope this makes sense and helps.
Also. Thank you for your comments, I’m glad the videos are helpful.
@@Bonitocrafts thanks a million Claire, and also for being so fast in replying! I think I do follow you (and I'll go for the second method, since I've already wound the bobbins). Just not too sure about the two magic loops in the top pinhole, but I am sure I'll figure it out if I jump to the last video! thanks again!
@@lovestoswatch2694 you’re welcome. You will need to sew the two pairs into that top pinhole which is why the magic threads help. You will use them one at a time leaving the second one pinned to the pillow while you work the sewing with one magic thread. Then you can release the other to make the second sewing into the same hole.
As you say. Watch the final video and you will see. Good luck.
@@Bonitocrafts got it, thank you - so I will just pass each magic thread under both bobbins and pin to the back of the pillow, and will check out the other video. Thanks again!
I was reading the comments and see that the pattern can be enlarged to 175% to use DMC 8. Would I use the same Torchon pins or do I need to get bigger pins? I'm excited to try this since I've got a lot of DMC 8 lying around. Glad that I decided to randomly read through comments.
If you have any larger pins then yes. But to be honest it’s not too critical. I think I just used my Torchon pins for it in the larger size.
Ordered my pattern from Roseground, ready to start! Approximately how much thread do you put on each bobbin?
When I did my set of coasters I wound one bobbin fairly full then wound off a yard/metre onto any pair that will be a worker then a bit less for the others. Then for the remaining patterns in the set I just wind off those fully wound bobbins again.
Hope this helps.
@@Bonitocrafts Thanks
do you have a digital version of this for purchase?
Hi. I’m sorry but I don’t. I haven’t found a way to satisfactorily secure files to prevent unauthorised sharing. Unfortunately it only takes one person to share my work online and any control I might have is gone.
Drop me an email at claire@bonitocrafts.co.uk and I can give you postage options to keep costs to a minimum. Alternatively. All my designs can be purchased from www.Roseground.com.
Kind Regards
Claire
Vorrei tanto imparare il ragnetto. Come posso fare? Grazie

The pattern pack comes with all four variations of the pattern plus this sampler design used in the video too, there is a colour front sheet, a paper pattern sheet and a further pattern sheet printed onto 260gsm card ready for you to prick out and work.

Where can I purchase gold pins and beautiful dark wood bobbins? Thank you. Great video series !
Hi, my brass fine pins I have had for years they are 26mm x 0.5mm but I’m not sure where you could get them now as most places sell stainless steel pins these days. My bobbins are made by Stuart Johnson at www.stuartjohnsonslacebobbinshop.co.uk , he has a lovely selection. Thank you, I’m glad you like my videos.
Can I use DMC size 8 thread for these patterns?
Hi Donna. Yes you can. However, you will have to enlarge the pattern by 175% as DMC perle 8 is a much thicker thread than Finca 40.
@@Bonitocrafts I went ahead and ordered some of the DMC 80 . I am too afraid to try to enlarge the patterns. Thank you so much for your help with this. I should be getting my pattern set for these Torchon Squares soon and now I will have the right thread to make these!
Where can I purchase these prickings?
You can order them from www.roseground.com. Here is the direct link to these patterns. www.roseground.com/product/torchon-squares-x-4
Try ordering but in USA Florida😢
Roseground do send overseas however I appreciate postage cost can be high.
If you would like to send me an email at claire@bonitocrafts.co.uk I can send you some options that reduce the cost of postage.
@@Bonitocrafts great thanks ☺️
Is your cloth stitch actually whole stitch here in America?
It's an interchangeable term. Both are used on both sides on the pond.
@heleddflower8082 beat me to it. It is indeed an interchangeable term as stated. Be aware though that some people use the term whole stitch for what you may call whole stitch and twist and what I would call cloth stitch and twist. This is why I always use the cloth stitch term as it is far less often that it is confused with another stitch.
@@heleddflower8082 I’m sorry I’m not understanding what you’re saying. Here in US we do half stitch, which is CT, then we have cloth or linen stitch which is CTC and finally we have whole stitch which is CTCT so when Clair is saying cloth stitch is it really what we call Whole Stitch? Thank you for replying. I’m going to do this pricking as soon as I get my Indrija off my pillow.
Many people in the US and elsewhere use the term whole stitch in place of cloth stitch.
In all my videos I use the following
Cloth stitch ctc
Half stitch ct
Cloth stitch and twist ctct
Hope this clarifies.
