Thank you for the info, I should have thought of this myself. My writing to Arachne was a 'spur of the moment' thing.I will contact Betty, and talk with her further. Thank you again for your help.Lorri

You can write to Betty Manfre, which is a good place to start. She will recommend the best books for learning to make Cantu. This year's International Organization of Lace Inc. Handbook was full of errors and skipped names of very important members. Betty Manfre's was one. You may have an older IOLI Handbook, like the 2012-2013 one with red fan on cover, since you are a member (I looked you up, to be sure). You will find Betty's e-mail address on pg. 6, under Italy. She lived for quite a few years in New Jersey USA and is fluent in both English and Italian. She is a former IOLI Regional Director for Europe. (There are also Regional Directors for the Asia/Pacific Area, Canada-East, and Canada-West.) The IOLI directory is quite helpful, but needs to be shared only among members. I will not give the detailed listing for Betty on this public Arachne site. When IOLI members decide to throw away these Handbooks or any membership lists, please shred them!

I recently got a copy of Mary McPeek's "Studies in Cantu" and she makes reference to Lovori A Fuselli. A few years back I took a 3 hr. class on Cantu with Betty Manfre and would like to do some further work/study on it. Are there any other good books on Cantu available?
