I briefly belonged to another lace group on yahoo groups.
It was bobbinlace, and while I was a member, a man in
India presented the group with information about the work he
was doing there. He was helping teach women the art of

booklet to everyone who

will re-send it.
Also I am happy to send this file to anyone else who is interested.
