Janice Interesting theory! Lorelei -----Original Message----- Subject: [lace] Footside on left or right?
The question of why the footside of yardage lace is either on the right (mainly English laces) or on the left (mainly European continent laces) ... answer other than the Brits do everything the other way around from their continental cousins. So my theory is that when the Mechlin and Lille lacemakers fled to England , they either took rubbings of their prickings or allowed rubbings to be taken from their prickings in their new country and the quickest and easiest way to make up these designs was to change the side of the footside.
