Susan, thank you for showing that you can learn the techniques of Binche
by expanding the pricking and using a thicker thread. I've been battling
for years that to learn a technique you need to see the threads clearly
and as some of us are aging , instead of using magnifiers we should
consider using thicker threads instead.
When I was in Brugge for the festival, one of the men demonstrating lace
at the Brewery was making a Binche edging is thick linen, he was using
his teachers working diagrams as the pricking. Lace was beautiful and
study enough to pop it in the washing machine!
