Thank you for your opinions Clay & Gabriele. You could have knocked me over with a feather when I read AB’s quote! We all have preferences so it’s only natural that one—or more—styles of lace winds up at the bottom of someone’s list. The same is true for music, literature, whatever. With apologies in advance to our Arachne musicologists, a half hour of Bach is a half hour too much for ME! To be fair, my class with Jane Atkinson did open my eyes to more options with Torchon & I think I would benefit from another class or two to see where that leads. In the meantime, I am working on lace that offers greater aesthetic appeal (for me) or piques my curiosity. It’s much easier to learn something you embrace wholeheartedly. Torchon clearly affects people differently & it nearly derailed my own journey. At this point, my personal goal is to reverse the negative effects of “Torchon teaching” for a friend who was interested in learning Beds. After months of being bored! to tears because the teacher insisted she start with Torchon, she abandoned lace altogether. She still has her pillow & supplies but I haven’t been able to persuade her to take it out of the top of the closet. YET! Just sayin’... Sincerely, Susan Hottle FL USA
