I remember seeing a slide show by christine Springett, and she

was a
difficult flower (It was a floral beds piece) and each lacemaker
had worked
out how to do it in a different way!!
Years ago, on ebay, I bought 4 Beds "collars" which turned out to be
4 wide Beds handerchief edgings. I could have returned them, but
they were all made with the same pattern by 3 different lacemakers
and it was fascinating to see how each of them tackled the tricky
parts. It's very clear that one of them was a much better lacemaker
than the others.
