Got it! Just seems like some waste would have been involved by having what would amount to "raw ends", start & finish. From an economic standpoint, preventing any waste of completed lace would have been desirable, hence my question. The start of my sample didn't look tidy & if I was the customer, I would not want to pay for that first bit. That's a loss to the lace dealer, the lacemaker or both. On the other hand, maybe the "bobbin clump" start would be more aesthetically pleasing in the hands of a more experienced lacemaker! LOL It would be interesting to see a demonstration of this lace using a bolster. So far, no Downton lace on YouTube... Sincerely, Susan Hottle FL,USA ---- Jane Partridge <mous...@live.co.uk> wrote:
How we hang in or finish off our lace has little relevance to those days, when lace was made and time wasted meant less bread on the table.
