Not necessarily so! I've seen machine laces with mistakes in them. Machine laces are only as good as their designers and programmers (whom I assume are human like me). One way to identify some machine laces is to find a small mistake, and then locate the same mistake in each repeat of the weaving sequence.
It's just that with handmade lace, every twist and stitch is made by hand, and the opportunity for an error at some point in the construction is greater. We don't usually make the same mistake on every repeat, however. I am not one of those people who deliberately put a mistake in each product made. Making something without a mistake somewhere in it is a great achievement, and one I can seldom claim. <G> I was taught to do my best, but the best did not always have to be perfect.
