Re: [lace] Lace classes

Sometimes you have to live with an inperfect sample as long as the planned 
piece is perfect.     After all, there is no point in keep undoing a sample 
and being put off for ever.     It is a case of a 'happy medium' and I would 
rather have lacemakers making lace than lose them (after all they are only 
making for themselves and they need to enjoy their craft).    You can gently 
ease them into making better quality work as they progress and gain 
experience.   The old saying of 'practice makes perfect' goes a long way. 
I personally have a piece of lace which  was made in the first couple of 
years of my lacemaking which is absolutely terrible.    I keep it and show 
it to people who say that they could never do anything as well as the later 
pieces.     It works every time.
