Isabel Olmedo is one of the few persons still alive who learnt to > make these tape laces from Cándida. Although she may be an excellent > lacemaker, the book is interesting only as a curiosity, . Her teaching > system is completely useless (but curious, I repeat). She writes, for > example: use "normal" thread to make this lace.. and many other things of > this kind. > > On the other hand, "Encaje Numerico Extremeno en la Garriga" from the > Assiacio de Puntaires de la Garriga, is interesting.
