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.
