You will need to extract them from the zip file (also known as unzipping the zip file) and place them in a folder on your computer (unzip instructions for Windows, unzip instructions for Mac – skip down the page to “Unzipping a File”). Working with lace ground templatesįirst, download the “templates.zip” file from Inkscape Extension for Bobbin Lace Grounds and copy the files to a folder where you like to keep your lace documents.
You must also choose what type of ground to draw by giving the location and name of a template file. In the pop up dialog you can specify the grid angle, distance between footside pins and the size of rectangle you want to fill with the ground pattern. Note: In the ground pattern, each line represents a pair of threads. The Bobbin Lace “Ground from Template” tool will allow you to draw a lace ground pattern. When designing lace, you can use the handy reference by Brenda Paternoster to determine the size of your grid based on the size of your thread. The distance between footside pins is the vertical measurement between two dots on the grid. Screenshot from Inkscape: Bobbin lace regular grid dialog
