I am using Col. 959, No. 8, DMC Coton Perle.
After making teneriffe lace, and creating buttons, with circles/templates, it was quite a challenge to just sew the perle coton to the fabric without 'marking' the center, 'marking' the spokes - to make it even. And the center!!! is it in the center!!!
I understand the accomplished Nanduti lacemakers just make the spokes - kind of eye where it should be. Probably took me twice as long - I'm so used to measuring and marking ....
I think I have the 4 areas ready to darn/weave into flower petals. And adding fiber with the lace knot - well, I'd done that before - now to weave over the knot so it doesn't show .... guess I'm ready to create some petals -- yellow or pink?
