My impression of the whole video was that it all was
speeded up from normal speed --on fast forward, so to
speak.  Every action, even walking, was faster than
normal.  Yes, I agree they are very proficient
lacemakers.  Definitely faster than I normally work,
that's for sure.

My lace group has a Begian-trained member who works
twice as fast as I do.  I've seen her working.  I'm
sure these people are on a par with her speed, but it
is not quite as fast as the film projected it.

Carrying the pillows on the hip, as is, instead of
bundling them, was very interesting.  I would guess
that the girls walked from home to the lace school,
and the thread was strong enough that a little
bouncing did not break it.  I wonder what they do if
it's raining.

The one person I've actually seen working on a pillow
like this was at an IOLI conference.  She had a zipper
bag that the pillow was put in for transporting.

It was a very interesting video.  Thanks for the
reference.
