Re: [lace] Virtual lace classes
Dialing in to a Zoom meeting with more than one device is no different than you and your friend dialing in to a Zoom meeting from different locations. The only caveat is that you must have sound turned off on one of your devices (not just mute - turn the volume of the speaker off) or it will cause echo and/or feedback that everyone in the meeting will hear (because of lag). Each device gets its own window on the meeting screen. Perhaps you've participated in a Zoom meeting where a husband and wife each logged in separately from different rooms. It's the same thing!

[lace] Virtual lace classes
When we started going virtual for everything I purchased a couple of items that have proved invaluable. One was a $30 USB web cam/mic from Walmart.com because my desktop didn't have those. It clips to the top of the monitor screen. Admittedly, for that price the video isn't HD but the mic works fine. I did some online research to see how to improve video quality and ended up downloading a free app called DroidCam to my phone and my desktop. (There are others, including iPhone ones.) It lets me bluetooth connect my phone to the computer to use the phone's camera, which is much better. I bought a $15 Aduro gooseneck tablet stand with clamp on Amazon. (The tablet size stand holds my tablet the short way and my phone the long way, and it swivels 360 degrees, so the orientation can be adjusted.) The phone is held snuggly in a spring type slot. The arm is pretty strong and stiff, 22" long. I have it clamped to a shelf. For a lace class, I would simply use the little webcam for me (the teacher doesn't need me in HD) and use the clamp to hold my phone over my pillow with its own Zoom login (the teacher will have 2 windows per student - you and your pillow.) Under $50 US and I have a pretty flexible though not elegant set up. Kathy Draves - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Re: [Lace] Return to class
Jane, Having the teacher wear one pair of gloves and move from pillow to pillow could theoretically transmit a virus from one student to the next. If the teacher puts on a new pair of gloves each time she approaches another pillow it would be fine. Bear in mind that medical professionals advocate hand washing between pairs and that care must be taken in removing gloves so that one doesn't touch the outer surface of the glove with the hands. Properly worn masks are your most important articles.

Re: [lace] Lappet or something else
As someone else mentioned earlier, perhaps they are part of traditional costume, which would conceivably give them a later date. It's not something that jumps to mind in the US, as we don't have a national traditional costume that we pull out for special occasions.
