Flak??? NO... Agreement! I have said the same thing to my students and to myself. People see the item as a whole piece, and can't imagine how on earth it was made. Only another lacemaker (or a lace judge) will be able to pick out the mistake or joining or whatever.
I have to tell on myself. This week I finished a large motif and found myself holding an extra pair at the final point. No way was I going to undo 50-60 hours of work to find where it was supposed to go. I just threw it back knowing that sooner or later I'd find where the pair was supposed to be. Sure enough, inches away I came up short. I just tied in a new pair at that place and kept going. Only I will know where I did it. A multitude of things can be hidden in the design and pattern of a piece of lace.
