I heard a comment recently that I wanted to put before
this group.

"Modern needlelacers are better needlelacers than the
ones in the past."  

The reason was that we are using thread that is large
enough to see each stitch, so we strive to make the
stitches very precise, neat and uniform.  The workers
who made lace with the very tiny thread in the past
could not see the individual stitches and thus did not
make them as neatly.  It was the masses of stitches in
a cluster that was seen.

Comments please.  What do you experienced needlelacers
say to this?

Alice in Oregon -- getting ready for a newspaper
interview tomorrow.  And then the marathon of county fair.
