Hi Sallie and Alix,
I think that the best suggestion I can make is that you take a *very*
simple Torchon pattern and attempt to do it in wire. From that
experiment, I think you'll see that there is a great deal of difference
in the way one handles a fiber in lacemaking and the way one handles a
wire. If you are not already proficient at making wire lace, it may be
that you will do your would-be student a favor if you help her find
another person to teach you both!
I had a class in wire lace from someone who does it very well. There
were many considerations I would not have thought about, had she not
worked these things out on her own beforehand. I have not chosen to
continue to make wire lace, and am still a rank beginner, so could not
help you at all. Sorry!

I asked about help with working with wire a while back as well. I am hoping
someone now someone else will see this and help us both.

I have a new student, who wants to start with wire lace. She did the basic
stiches in cotton and she is learning fast.
But I newer tried to work with wire, so can you help me:
Are there books, internet sites......
And how will be the difference betwen working thread and wire.
My student already ordered special wire bobins silver and gold wire, but I
told her to buy some cheaper wire to try out first..
