Just out of curiosity, is the need for a teacher because the syllabus lacks all the details (doesn't have complete diagrams, etc) or because of intangibles like a need for correct tension? I've never had a teacher so I don't know if I'm missing out on the latter category by doing things my own way. So far I've stuck to books with good diagrams, except for the Russian Lace which I'm just having fun with. > Another option is the Binche Study Guide prepared by Michael > Giusiana, which gives the student a specific list of samples > which should be worked as one progresses through the levels.

This sounds more complete but also more expensive in the end :) > Michael's Study Guide is something he is happy for us to > share with each other!

I'm not ready to dive in just yet, but it would be nice to have something to look at while I dream.
