Bev I like the definition in your 3rd paragraph.
" A more accurate, though broad definition: Bobbin lace is an off-loom weaving technique; each thread is attached to a bobbin. Pins are employed to maintain the structure of the fabric. "

================================ Hi Spiders,
When I am demonstrating and someone from the general public starts to ask me questions, I usually inquire if they do any kind of needlework. To a weaver, I defined lace like this:
Bobbin Lace is minature, off-loom, warp weighted weaving, where the weavers can change with almost no provocation.
The weaver got it.
A truly generic definition has eluded me up to now. When people don't know anything about it, or have vague, incorrect assumptions, where do you start?
