I've not seen it on a graph. When I took the class from Marji Suhm, we did not use a graph. Nor are there graphs in the book by (Nordfors? Nordhoff? something like that). It's done on a roller that has striped fabric (like mattress ticking, only finer) and you use the stripes to gauge where to put the pins. > Also, a good teacher should > be able to teach with just about whatever a student shows up with - > teaching lace is essentially one-on-one. Certainly a good teacher can teach with whatever her students show up with, but a student may have all sorts of trouble if she has the wrong tools. Heavy bobbins with a fine thread, for example, can mean lots of breaking threads. And the problems associated with inappropriate tools can be terribly frustrating to the student, especially a beginner. I certainly don't believe you have to have all authentic, traditional tools to make each type of lace, but still it can still be a good idea to not go *too* far away from what's traditional. There's often a reason for why they used that and not something else. Robin P.
