I made a small introduction course of about 6 lessons in which beginning 
students learn the basic stitches as cloth stitch, whole stitch and half 
stitch, after thant a simple pieces of Schneeberg lace to learn the plaits and 
how to combine different stitches, corners a a few simple Torchon laces. After 
this introduction they can choose with which technique they want to continue. 
Students who struggle with the Torchon are advised to do some guipure first. I 
have to say that I advise most of the students to continue for a while with the 
guipure before starting with the Torchon again. In the guipure they don’t work 
with that lot of bobbins and learn to divide the lace making in parts so that 
afterwards they can do that also in the Torchon.

Happy lacing
