Sɛ ɛba sɛ wobɛpaw ntama a ɛfata a , ɛnyɛ nneɛma nyinaa na wɔayɛ no pɛpɛɛpɛ. Ntama te sɛ kotoku anaa nwera, bere a ɛyɛ kɛse ma mfitiase nwene no, rentumi nyɛ atɛntrenee mma ahama. Mmom no, paw nneɛma a emu yɛ hare na ɛyɛ mmerɛw. Organza ne Tulle yɛ wo bets a eye sen biara ma lace, efisɛ ɛma hann fa mu na ɛma saa ethereal, translucent finish no. Wɔkura mu yie nso wɔ stitchwork a ɛyɛ nwonwa mu, enti wo lace no renhwere ne nsɛsoɔ.

Asaawa ko a wobɛpaw no betumi ayɛ wo lace nwene no anaasɛ abubu. Bere nyinaa kɔhwehwɛ asaawa a ɛyɛ fɛ a ɛyɛ papa, te sɛ sirikyi anaa polyester asaawa. Saa nhama yi ma wotumi yɛ nsakrae a ɛho hia na ama wɔayɛ nhyehyɛe ahorow a ɛyɛ den a ahoɔden a wɔde nsɛe no. Na mma wo werɛ mmfi nhyɛso no ho —ɛyɛ den dodo, na ebia wo asaawa no bɛpae. Loose dodo, na wo lace no renkura mu. Wo mfiri no mu nhyɛso a wobɛsakra no yiye no yɛ agoru-nsakrae koraa ma pɛpɛɛpɛ.

Afei, momma yɛnkɔ nhyehyɛe no so. Lace designs hwehwɛ sɛ wɔfa ɔkwan foforo so. Ɛsɛ sɛ stitch density no ba fam sen sɛnea ɛtaa ba no na amma ntama no anboaboa ano. Sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ yiye no, wopɛ sɛ wode si w’ani so sɛ wobɛtwetwe frequency a ɛkorɔn a ntama no ahyɛ mu ma dodo. Eyi ma lace no ne signature open look. Ebia wobɛpɛ nso sɛ wosɔ underlay stitches hwɛ —eyinom yɛ ade titiriw a ɛbɛma ntama no ayɛ den na woahwɛ ahu sɛ ɛnsakra bere a wɔreyɛ nwene no.

Sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wobɛda nsow ankasa no, siesie wo nhyɛso nhyehyɛe no yiye ma saa ano a ɛyɛ fɛ na ɛyɛ mmerɛw no. Nhyɛso a ɛyɛ hare betumi ama ayɛ mmerɛw kɛse, bere a nea ɛyɛ den betumi ama ahama no ayɛ nhyehyɛe kɛse. Ɛbɛhia sɛ wobɛkari pɛ wɔ saa nsakraeɛ yi mu a egyina wo ntama no su ne wo nhama so. Kae sɛ, lace nyɛ pɛyɛ ho asɛm —ɛfa saa ahoɔden ne mmerɛwyɛ a ɛyɛ den a wɔaka abom no a wobenya ho.

Nea edi hɔ no, nhyɛso . Ɛsɛ sɛ wunya eyi pɛpɛɛpɛ —ɛnyɛ nea ɛboro saa, ɛnyɛ nea ɛba fam koraa. Nhyɛso dodo, na wobɛtwe nhama anaasɛ wobɛma ntama no ayɛ pucker; Kakraa dodo, na wo nhama no bɛyɛ mmerɛw na ayɛ basabasa. Mpɛn pii no, baabi a ɛyɛ dɛ no yɛ 2.5 kosi 3.0, na egyina wo ntama no so. Wɔ lace fam no, wopɛ sɛ nhama no yɛ ntama no atuu denneennen, a ɛrenkyinkyim sɛnea wɔayɛ no. Nsuro sɛ wubegyina ntama a wode redi dwuma no so asiesie eyi—Organza hwehwɛ sɛ ɛyɛ fɛ kakra sen cotton.

Here’s the kicker: underlay stitches ho hia. Wɔyɛ lace embroidery no fapem, ɛma nhyehyɛe ne ahoɔden a ɛwɔ mu. Sɛ woamfa wo ho anhyɛ ase yiye a, wo ahama no bɛhwe ase ntɛmntɛm asen krataa a wɔde kyekyere wo ho wɔ osutɔ mu. A typical underlay setting for LACE no bi ne zigzag a ɛyɛ hare a wɔde nwene anaasɛ run underlay a ɛwɔ run abien ma ahoɔden a ɛboro so. Eyi hwɛ hu sɛ sɛ wɔde nwene a ɛwɔ soro no si hɔ a, ɛrentwe ntama no na ɛmma wɔakyinkyim.

Nanso momma yɛnka nokware wɔ ha. Sɛ wo aniberesɛm sɛ wubenya saa pɛpɛɛpɛ lace hwɛ, ɛyɛ ne nyinaa fa customized wo mfiri nhyehyɛe ma ntama a ɛwɔ wo nsam. Ɛsono sɛnea ntama biara yɛ n’ade, na ano aduru a ɛyɛ biako a ɛyɛ biako biara nni hɔ. Sɔ hwɛ, siesie, sɔ hwɛ bio. Lace nwene nyɛ nea ɛfa dial a wobɛdan no kɛkɛ na woanya anidaso sɛ nea eye sen biara ho. Wo stitch count, tension, ne underlay a wobɛsiesie no yiye no bɛma woanya saa lace design a ɛyɛ mmerɛw, a ɛyɛ mmerɛw a woaso ho dae no.

Afei, kɔ Biggie a edi hɔ no so — a ɛnyɛ pɛpɛɛpɛ . Ɛyɛ dae bɔne, ɛnte saa? Ɔfã biako hwɛ a mfomso biara nni ho, na ɔfã foforo no te sɛ basabasayɛ. Nea odi fɔ no? Mpɛn pii no, ɛyɛ asaawa nhyɛso a ɛmfata anaasɛ mfiri ahoɔhare . Nnipa pii de wɔn mfiri sisi hɔ ntɛmntɛm dodo bere a wɔreyɛ adwuma wɔ ahama a ɛyɛ mmerɛw so no. Fa no brɛoo kakra, na hwɛ hu sɛ asaawa no nhyɛso no kari pɛ. Stitch mpo a ɛyɛ pɛpɛɛpɛ bɛfa wo afi 'eye a ɛdɔɔso' akɔ 'wow!'.

Na momma yɛnka saa flat lace no ho asɛm —obiara mpɛ. Sɛ wo lace no hwɛ sɛ ɛyɛ den na nkwa nnim mmom sen sɛ ɛbɛyɛ mmerɛw na mframa wom a, ɛda adi sɛ ɛyɛ nea woayɛ no mmoroso nti. Lace hia mframa ne baabi, enti mfa wo asaawa no nkɔ akyiri. Wopɛ nso sɛ wohwɛ ntama no nhyehyɛe a ɛboa no —dan no mu nhyɛso anaa nea ɛhyɛ ase pii dodo no bɛma ayɛ kɛse. Botae no ne sɛ wɔbɛma ntama no ayɛ hann na ɛresen bere a ɛrepam no abom no.

Wɔ tiyɛ a lace embroidery de ba nyinaa mu no, fixes no yɛ mmerɛw ankasa sen sɛnea wususuw. Sɛ wosakra no yiye kakra a, ɛnyɛ den sɛ wubetumi akwati saa afiri yi. Kae kɛkɛ: abotare ne adeyɛ yɛ ade titiriw. Lace nwene nyɛ pɛyɛ ho asɛm, ɛfa pɛpɛɛpɛyɛ ho, enti hwɛ biribiara ketewaa biara. Sɛ wo master no yɛ master a, wobɛ cranking out lace designs te sɛ pro!

Enti, dɛn ne wo kɔ-kɔ fix bere a nneɛma fi ase kɔ nkyɛnkyɛn wɔ wo lace nwene nnwuma mu? Kyɛ wo afotuo wɔ aseɛ ha, na ma yɛnkɔ so nkasa!
