" 'historically correct' " But didn't they usually just have to work things out for themselves? They did not have books to tell them how to do techniques - and most of the lacemakers could not read, anyway!
I know Lace schools taught things a certain way - but the school in the next village might teach it in a different way!! "Make it work" seems to be the main rule, as far as I can fathom out!! That seems to be the Traditional way (or Historical way)!! I remember seeing a slide show by christine Springett, and she showed a cap and lappets worked in 3 pieces - by 3 different lacemakers. There was a difficult flower (It was a floral beds piece) and each lacemaker had worked out how to do it in a different way!!
