My lace teacher had a quote from some old book (sorry, have no idea of the source) that "Binche is a narrow lace, as lacemakers can't handle more than 1500 bobbins." Between that, the fact that the whole Flanders family of laces uses twice as many bobbins to do the "same thing" as other laces (and I have *no* patience), and that the beginner/intermediate patterns are so ugly (lumps, blobs, and squiggles), I've never gotten into that group. However, I have collected a few of Anny Noben-Sleger's patterns. They're exquisite, but obviously not suitable for a first time! Not even for me, who always jumps into the deep end of things.
