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.
