As the Editor of LACE (the magazine of The Lace Guild) for 6½ years. I wrote a number of techniques articles which might be of interest to all lacemakers, these are linked below.
If you understand the coding and logic involved in working/technical diagrams for lace patterns you can pick up patterns/instructions from around the world and work them without having to understand the language. A lot of Continental patterns come with working diagrams for instance. With this in mind I wrote two articles on understanding working diagrams.
Part 1 looks at the basics of ‘stitch’ (this appeared in LACE 136).
Part 2 looks at the different stitches and the colours they represented (this appeared in LACE 138)
I also wrote two articles on how to prepare traditional prickings:
Part 1 appeared in LACE 155.
Part 2 appeared in LACE 156.
I’ve also written an article on winding bobbins this appeared in LACE 158 (April 2015). Also on my YouTube channel where there is a video on what happens to your thread when you don’t wind bobbins correctly.
I wrote an article for the West Lancashire Lacemakers newsletter on how to mount a lace garter, click on the image above to open the article.
