What on Earth is Needle Lace??

- Okay, so maybe everyone out there but me knew that needle lace is a form of lace-making and not a specific embroidery stitch, but you have to admit: there are lots of confusing similarities! That's why I did a deep dive on needle lace: what is it, how is it made, what can you do with it, and way more!
In fact, my dive got so deep that I had to split this video into two parts! Welcome to Part 1: the basics of needle lace. Here, I'm trying out various lace stitches and patterns, figuring out how a cordonnet works, and combining lace with embroidery for a gorgeous 3D piece of art!

This is awesome. Please do more! TH-cam is a bit limited when it comes to lace making
It so is! More lace videos coming soon!
True! It's SOO hard to find resources for lace making😭😭
So grateful to you for tackling this! I have been looking (for years) for videos in English. Thank you so much!
I have been fascinated by lacemaking for a while and it looked a bit tricky - however this has inspired me to have a go.
Just learning to do needle lace myself. Usually you take thinner thread for the cordonet and double it so you can split it at "intersection".
With the flower you'd lay the "end loop" of the doubled thread on the circle right next to one of the petal lines, stitch it down and the fix the cordonet around the circle.
Then the thread the loose cordonet ends through your needle lace needle, and pull it through the loop. Fix it with one stitch.
Then you go with the cordonet around the first petal to the point where it meets the line of the next petal.
There you split the cordonet, thread one of the threads into the needle lace needle. And thern you pull that single thread to the center circle along the line, go under the cordonet of the circle and then fold the thread over, so it goes back to the last bit you sewed down on the petal.
So now you have two parallel threads on that "tricky" line between the petals. Stitch them down until they meet the second thread of the cordonet again. Rejointhem and do the next petal and repeat the "split and reunite" at the next intersection.
Sorry, English isn't my first language and I don't know if it makes any sense if you don't see it in front of you.
That was a great explanation of the method, thank you! I finally found a video that fully showed how to do the double cordonnet and why you use two cords instead of one, but it was quite a while after making this video. I should revisit the topic soon!
@@gettheetothestitchery Please do! I recently got into embroidery and don't know much at all about it I when came across this video. I have been watching your "try anything related to fiber arts" videos. You occasionally mention that you embroider as a hobby, but I hadn't thought to look to see if you had any embroidery specific videos until I found this one. Your videos are less intimidating to me, because you are learning as I am learning and I know what kind of mistakes I am likely to make when I try needle lace for myself.
Still very instructional, but good to see your face on the thumbnail!!
“I can catch up on my sleep when I’m dead!” That’s a line I’ve thrown out my whole life, since I am legit both a morning person and a nighttime person!
I just love this tutorial. We, your viewers, have lessons in what TO do ... what works... and what NOT to do...what doesn't work so great... so we don't have to make those mistakes. I love your enthusiasm. I love your courage. Thanks so much for this. This is the first video I have watched from your library. I am looking forward to more.
Aw thank you so much and welcome!!
Yay! A style of lace I am willing to learn. I have enough backlog of projects I wasn't going to add bobbin lace to my list of hobbies, as tempting as that is, but a lace that uses the tools I already own? Yes please!
I swear I love this channel so much. I saw a girl making lace with lots of pins and strings on tik tok and I was mesmerized. They were kind of waving it through and it was beautiful. Also, my grandma (who owned a haberdashery- english isn't my first language, but yeah, a shop to buy all sewing and knitting things- and was the neighborhood's clothes fixer) showed me a way to make lace from tulle on her ancient sewing machine. 90 years old and she still has that magic when she sews!
That's amazing! I love hearing that skills and arts like lace-making are getting passed down through the generations - your grandma sounds like a very special lady!
Haberdashery is the right word 😊
you are invited to my channel❤️❤️
I've been waiting for this since you took that poll in your community tab a while ago 🤩 I'm so ready for this and the next video about around the world needle lace!
Yay! I'm super happy people are enjoying this exploration!
This type of lace takes a lot of practice to get consistent but it is beautiful and fun to do… “Lacis” is a good place to find info on this subject… and tools and materials… love and hugs
I'm looking forward to your lace explorations!! This video was super inspiring and helpful.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
I can't believe how easily you mastered what seems so complicated, you rock! Hopefully soon you'll film some tutorials about how to make it ❤
Great video! And welcome to the world of lace! I have some unsolicited pointers for your future projects. The "A practical guide to needle lace" is probably one of the best books on the market right now to learn French style needle lace. Also for french needle lace you'll want to ditch the embroidery hoop because it becomes more of a problem when you do more complicated pieces. And the doubled up cordonnet thread is important because it solves the branching problems when you're couching. I hope to see more of your projects in the future! Happy lace-ing!
Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely add that book to my "buy" list, and on the cordonnet... yeah. Haha I did further research on needle lace and specifically making the cordonnet a few months ago and realized that I made it so much harder on myself by not doing the proper doubled up method!
The rainbow flower is gorgeous and it's ok that it's not perfectly perfect, it wasn't made in a factory. 💖
I've just begun embroidery and I wanted to say a big thank you for all your tutorials. I'm fascinated by the various textures that can be achieved with this medium and this video is giving me so many project ideas.
Huzzah! Inspiring new project ideas is always my main goal (and dude... just doing these explorations extended my project lists waaaaaay too much)!
love this i am still learning thing watching you and your samplers thank you xx love to see more things you can do .
This video is awesome! I love how its basically just you learning things
Haha that's going to be a frequent style in the future, because there's a lot I want to learn!
Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed to better understand what I was reading and seeing with other mixed media artists. Can't wait to watch part II. :)
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Me:
TH-camr: check out this awesome new craft you've never heard of before!
Me: 😑
Just what I needed. Another hobby! 😅
This was so interesting!! Thanks so much for sharing your journey. So excited to see more!
I'm so glad you liked it! I'm excited to try more myself!
Love this technique a lot. Congrats!
I love how introspective you are💯
Aw thank you!
I'm encouraged to try.
Excellent vlog on needle lace! Thank you…
Very intriguing. Definitely more.
Wow!
That is fantastic! I love the dragon fly!!!
And I'd be proud of that flower and sew it on my Jean jacket with the other flowers. I think it is really cool.
And I love your dragonfly! So creative, so beautiful!
Thank you for this video. I have been trying to do an embroidery by Hazel Blomkamp but couldn’t understand the written instructions. Your clear instructions was very welcome and I was able to do complete the needle lace right
That's great to hear!
This is so fascinating! I've never heard of this before, and I'd love to see more videos about it :)
I'm glad you liked it! More videos on the way!
AWESOME !!! I just recently discovered The no knot start myself ;) This type of stitching looks amazing ;) Thanks for sharing ;D
The no-knot is a perfect name for it! I might have to start using that...
Great tutorial!
Love your style very entertaining,thanks for sharing
OMG, that looks sooo coooool ! I will definitely try this outtt tysmmm ❤❤
You definitely should! It was a really fun experiment!
Wow. Never knew about needle lace. This is just beautiful
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed learning about it!
I’d love to see you work with some Armenian needle lace because I just learned and it takes some fiddling around to get it right. I’ve only found one lady who does it regularly and that TH-cam is Become Inspired.
That's who I learned from too! There are some channels that teach it in Armenian, so I need to find myself a translator and learn some more!
I love your colorful flower. It’s beautiful.
Thank you so much 😊
Ha! This is quite interesting. I was trying to find tutorials on drawing lace (as that's a project I'm currently working on.) And came here, looking at how lace is made and what it should look like! This is definitely going into my references, as understanding lace making (even if I can't make it myself) will definitely help me to design lace I reckon. Tnx for this awesome video!
I'm so glad it was helpful to you! Good luck on your project!
This is very nice.
I love the idea of making lace, but bobbin lace seems too fiddly for me. I like to pack my little embroidery kit everywhere. I am so glad I found your video. I hope you make more videos about needle lace. I am off to watch your video on needle lace from around the world (or around Europe😉).
I've just started learning to make needlepoint lace making. I actually saw it when Morgan Donner asked Marika from Enchanted Rose Costumes (see Marika's channel for her videos) to help her with it. I've started using the batternburg technique of using lace tape to start and a cushion to back it with. It's a technique not for the faint-hearted! So nice to see someone else from an embroidery background diving down the rabbit hole that is needlepoint lacemaking! 😍
Enchanted Rose Costumes was one of the many places I did research for this video! Marika is great! And yes, needle point lace is just incredible, and so under-taught!
@@gettheetothestitchery I go to a group every week where everyone does something with fibre. There's a lady there who's going to bring me a bunch of books to peruse on lacemaking 🎉
@@shevaunhandley1543 That's awesome! Sounds like so much fun!
@@shevaunhandley1543 super lucky😊
@@nataliegill8426 hahaha... I had to give them back 🤣😭
I love the dragonfly!!!
Beautiful
You can use some thicker thread on the outline or maybe begin the lace with some neutral cord and end the outline with silver or goldcord.
Love this! Looking forward to the next video. My country Belgium is famous for lace but I don’t know whether we are known for this kind too. Either way I’m really interested to know what you find out!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I'll have to look into some Belgium-specific lace!
Love the dragon fly! Thank You.
This is unbelievable! Your work is fantastic! I love the Content! Really, the Best! A fellow life long learner too, I love it! Lol
I'm so happy that you like it! Always learning!
I understand that instagram at 3 am, that's a rabbit hole I often find my self down lol Great video, I'm going to try this. Thanks so much!!
Haha IG at 3 is the best! Definitely give some lace making a go - it's so much fun!
18:26 and now I have a new way to make apliques 😊
Yes please
Hank you madam for uploading this video.Neela😊
This is the coolest thing I've seen in a LONG TIME!!! You were rather brave to try it. But I'm glad you did. I think you did a great job. Love this video. I hope you do more needle lace videos.
What do you do with these???
I'm going to try this for sure.
Thank you for sharing this.
Austin,TX USA
Definitely try it! I found needle lace so relaxing and enjoyable... and there's more videos in the works!
And what do I do with them... stash them! Everything I sew either gets stored in bags in a cabinet or put on display on my wall. These pieces were half and half...
@@gettheetothestitchery I make junk journals. So I plan to use them in journals. Maybe frame one to hang up.
@@barbaracabrera207 That would be awesome!
Wow this is what I am looking for
Irish lace! irish lace! (though I think it may be more of a crochet thing... but still it's so beautiful!)
Thank youu
I am just researching different ways to make lace and come across your video, I have been watching bobbin lace making, but I had never heard of needle lace . I find it curious that the first stitch you made is the same kind of "stitch" used in making dream catchers and fishing net making. very interesting indeed! Love this style and would love to see more. I am curious if this could be done in a different way. Not sure if I can put this into words, OK the square outline you made by stitching, could that be done by oh similar to a finger stitch in crocheting? and could that "square be pinned to a surface then using you needle in lacing make the lace so it can be detached as like lace is? I hope you can follow that, it is hard for me to put some thoughts or ideas into words rightly.
Found your video on Sashiko and got started down the TH-cam trail. Did you try Sagan Lace? Hope so it’s a beautiful art. Il keep watching 🧜♀️
too cool!!!!!
I love the random stiching with the two wings! Can someone point me in the direction of a tutorial on that?
I actually haven't seen a tutorial on that particular style, so I'll add it to my list of things to make! If it helps at all for the moment though - it's just the same Brussels (or detached blanket stitch) done with no particular pattern in mind.
A tip is to use a pin in a loop to keep it the same tension whilst you pull it tight then remove the pin
That's a great idea!
Love your work 😍great job. What's the name of your hoop stand please? I've not seen one like that before. Is it available on amazon?
I actually got it from an Etsy shop called FrameDIY - I also hadn't seen the two-sided holder like that before, and I like the extra support!
I just found you in the middle of the night when sleeping just doesn't come I have been stitching for 50+ years. I would love to see the back of some of your projects. Yes I know but as a stitcher I would love to know how I am doing. This is a personal thing an in no way ment to be a slam, to much of that in the world today.
Welcome! No shame in showing our "hoop butts" as we call them - I go through a few of them in this video: th-cam.com/video/c9JblTcRgjI/w-d-xo.html
Very nice dragonfly you made
Wow!jst big kisssss for u😘.love your work.u r soo good
Thank you so much!
Use a lint roller to take out those stitches that you cut. Less time than tweezers. Your stuff is beautiful
Supet video!!!!!💣💥💣💖💖💖
Thank you so much!
this is so cool n i am watching rn at 2:40 am lol
🤩🤩🤩
Some how reminds me of crochet. Interesting.
Definitely has some similarities!
Oe now im realy curious for the next part:D. Consider me a new follower because i love learning new stiches:D.
Welcome! The next needle lace exploration is coming soon!
Thanks:D im looking forward to it:). This is such good fuel for my adhd, i love creating things with my hands:D.
Have you tried Hardanger? I got into it because I couldn’t find the old fashioned doily’s anywhere and I don’t crochet. I do cross stitch and Hardanger.
I haven't! I'll have to look it up and add it to my "try this sometime" list!
I've heard it's also been called Hand Embroidery...so yeah its Embroidery just using your hand as the base
Ah! #3 is basically holly point!
So cool... and I'm still watching (at the end I think), but ...how long did this take? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hard to say because I have so much trouble timing myself on anything, but I think making the video as a whole took me a couple weeks!
Hi , I am from India interested in different type of needle lace designs, I searched for oya thread , but it's delivery charges more than thread cost , I don't get any platform in India to buy the oya thread...can you tell me what is the best platform to buy them
Make a lace pillow and patterns and use size 30 or 20 crochet cotton
Oo that's such a good idea!
I'm using size 10 at the moment. Once I'm more confident I'll go to size 12 🤣🤯
I don't know...
The Modern Maker: Mathew Gnagy check him out in youtube it has a lot of eamelia ars videos! And if i am not wrong lace began as embroidery yes until it became detrached from its base. Inicially was done as decorario for edges, thus you would go "flying" away from the clothes. Then, dexorations and the fabric behind woild be cut... and such... anyhow congratulations for your videos you give us a base so er can also go on trying new techniques!
Wait... I always start my stitches for everything with the loop on the end. I thought everyone did that.
Haha that's so interesting! There's a bunch of ways to tie off or secure your thread, and I feel like we all latch on to a certain one and it seems like that is the only or at least main one... but yeah, I only recently learned about the loop method!
@@gettheetothestitchery wow. This is the first time a youtuber replied to my comment. Thank u. Made my day. 😊
@@maetessier9532 Aw you're so sweet! Getting to know you guys in the comments is one of my favorite parts of TH-cam, so I try to check in weekly!
Armenian lace
yes, a duh moment. The first clue should’ve been the word lace.
