Hi Marji, and everyone
I just happened to find the questionnaire site and thought I'd give it
a try, and the response has been amazing, 74 replies already in just 8
hours!

Liz said Yes, I know teachers who keep their students going on and on for
ages - years
sometimes, and I am sure it is just for the money from classes.
But on the other hand.
I have people that I have been teaching in private classes for over twenty
years. They started perhaps with

A request for Jeri (or anyone else with the know how) - I know your forte is
the preservation of costume and textiles but what recommendations do you
have for storing old wood and bone lace bobbins?
I know what some of you will say - that bobbins are to be used - and I would
agree to a point.
I don't think a lacemaker ever gets too proficient for classes - as Jacquie
says there are always new laces to learn, or more challenging patterns to try.
If a class loses it's more experienced pupils from boredom, that probably says
as much about the teacher/class structure as losing beginners

Maybe one of the lace hanky bonnets would be a nice start and I did consider

One of the reasons I took the City and Guilds Teaching Certificates

Brian, I've got the warning in my head that if we have a rotten

Hello
All this talk of teachers and working alone and trying to figure out how to do
a piece by penciling in lines -- well, that is the way to learn how to design
a particular form of bobbin lace.
