This process has already occurred in the New Jersey lacemaking industry, the Schiffli industry. For many years the biggest source of income was from the sale of the machines to Asia. Now they are mostly gone. I was interested to see that the article seemed to think the Leavers machine superior. It had been my impression, instilled by Pat Earnshaw's second machine lace book, that the Raschel type machine had undergone such improvements that it was capable of making extremely elaborate lace. In fact, most of the lace I see on fashion does seem to be Raschel and some of the patterns seem to be very complex and lovely. Devon **************Great Deals on Dell Laptops. Starting at $499.
