Machine Knit Lace Enchanted Edgings






This Enchanted Edging, Magic Spell, has automatic gathers.

It is so stretchy that you can steam it into a tight curve or a slow curve.  I blocked this sample into a tight curve, and when it's stretched out, it makes a round ruffle.

I love round ruffles - they have less bulk at the gathered side and they drape gracefully.

Imagine this one at the bottom of a sleeve, or a skirt, or even as a lace collar or yoke.

  3. Diana, I would like to know more about your edgings. Are these all possible with just hand manipulation?
    Thanks

  4. I'm sure you could do them with hand manipulation, but they're done with the Brother lace carriage plus patterning on the main carriage.

  6. Are you going to put them together and sell them? I have a Brother machine and would like to make them. Marti

  7. I purchased your enchanted lace edgings and am new to machine knitting. I'm having trouble. There are long floats. What am I doing wrong?
