Well, neither the Australian, nor the English tutors who visit Australia seem to have any trouble distributing patterns in advance. The complete set of pattern handouts is sent to either the Administrative Committee of the Australian Lace Guild, or the local person organising a workshop.
When a lacemaker registers for the workshop, she includes a large stamped, addressed envelope for the return to her of the set of patterns. If a tutor wishes everyone in the workshop to start at the first pattern, she says so. Usually the patterns are either identified by skill-level or technique, so that the lacemaker can decide which ones she needs to prepare. Only last week I sent off multiple copies of all the patterns for three different workshops to the leader of a group, together with clear indications of the technical skills in each piece and guidance of how a student should choose which patterns to prepare. Certainly it takes a fair bit of preparation for the tutor, but it saves a lot of time in the workshop, and means the student is better prepared.
