Need Advice On Double Loop Lacing.

[JeffS1966]

I have just started doing lacing and I can not find any information on how to get a mirror image on my lacing. Thanks for pointing me in the correct direction.

So, what do you mean by a "mirror image"? Are you looking for something that points to the center on both sides of a project (if that makes sense). If I'm understanding right, you would start in the center of your piece and go one direction with the front of the work facing you. Then, you'd go back to the center and go the other direction after you splice into your starting string. This will be easier if you leave a nice tail at the beginning to start with.

The advice for double loop .. DON'T do it~ Okay, there's my fun.

COUPLE ways a fella could get a 'mirror' outta that. One involves lacing half of the project, then handing off the second half to your left-handed buddy. Yeah, really.

Otherwise, are you using round holes, or lacing slits? Round holes wouldn't matter, but wit the slits a fella might punch the holes on one side (the "original" side) from the OUTSIDE of the project. Then flip the thingy, and punch the other half the holes (the "mirror" side) from teh INSIDE. This will 'reverse' the direction of the lacing slits, and effectively 'mirror' the thing.

If the slits are straight and not slanted, it works no problem.

If I understand corectly, you are lacing down two sides, like on a tank bib. It is a pet peave of mine when I see one and on one side it points down and on the other side it points up. The directions are almost all for lacing left to right. To get right to left patterns scan the directions into the computer and mirror the image, you will see the pattern for going the other way (although I admit the words will be confusing). Once you get started it is the same, only backwards.

Someplace on here (years ago) I posted an image of this.
