Once again, I think it's time to remember that there really aren't any "lace police" who will confiscate our work and destroy it if it has been worked or finished in non-traditional ways! It really is a matter of personal choice - every step of the way - and if the end result pleases you, then continue to do it that way. In my opinion, the only time you would want to stick to specific techniques would be if the piece you're working will be judged, either in competition or to meet requirements of proficiency. Otherwise, do it however it gives you the most pleasure.
