Re: [lace] Speed and efficiency in lace?

[Malvary Cole]

I revisited it and watched again and noticed that when she made the leaf 
that she did it the way that I've seen the ladies in Camariñas do it - 
several passes then pull it up.  I also noticed that she had a loop at the 
side of her leaf, making it a holly leaf.  So yes she was fast because it 
was her livelihood but was it as accurate as we like to make it - probably 
not, but then it we aren't making lace to put bread on the table like she 
was.

Interesting that it shows the lady making a fairly narrow Beds edging, and
then shows the sunshade with a very deep, probably Bucks lace frill.
