I attended a class in Mechlin lace here in Australia several years ago, with Ulrike Voelker. She used fine insect pins as support pins, and even brought some with her to sell to us.
I learnt a lot in those classes about lacemaking, but never went on with that type of lace. But I still take out my samples sometimes and am in awe of just how fine and delicate they are! I should use them as encouragement to try some Binche!
