Hi Jopie I agree with your comments about making picots and rules in general. We are all different and our hands work in different ways. A technique that suits one person might not suit another. A good teacher will learn as as many methods as she comes across so that, if a student has trouble with one, she can try another that may work more easily for her.
My rules of lace making go - 1 You MUST enjoy making it 2 Your lace MUST look as beautiful as you can manage 3 Your lace MUST ne suitable for its purpose, i.e. it must not fall to pieces if washed or distort if used as a hanging if it was intended for these purposes 4 You may break any rules except the ones above or make them up new ones, but do not do it when teacher is watching.
