I received this email yesterday and was wondering what 'the Lacelist'
suggests regarding the enquiry......... (I think from someone in the
london area uk)
"/I have an cotton appliqué tablecloth with lace trim both centrally and
at the corners. After the last wash I noticed that the lace - which is
still very much in place has a few holes where the web/linking strands
have become detached. One corner is still complete so it is a template
to know where these strands should go. Two corners are very minor damage
- one has several strands broken . the central lace has very minor
damage. Do you know anyone who would be willing to tackle this repair
for me and to check the rest on the lace to ensure it is OK? I believe
it is the open ?Buckingham (handkerchief corner style only not as
fine) lace rather than fine bobbin lace. For those who know what they
are doing I don't think it would be too difficult, but for me it could
take days and still not look a bodge./
/ //Many thanks for reading this far!"

I think perhaps a photo would make decisions easier but also feel it's
not something I could do...... any ideas???
Many Thanks
