I must admit to putting this to advantage when demonstrating - a few
months ago, I bought a chemical lace necklace (decorated with chains and
beads) from one of the major accessory shops. I tend to wear a bracelet
that is beaded bobbin lace at the same time. The necklace quite often
draws the "did you make that" question - which gives the opportunity of
saying no, but I did make this (the bracelet) - and also, if I have my
sample folder with me, of showing them the difference between what is
quite obviously machine made (with closer inspection) and hand made
needlelace (the necklace is similar to point de gaze in style).
