Karen: I have heard that color-coded working diagrams were developed in Belgium in the 1930s > Marianne Stang: may I make a little correction? The color code was invented in Bruges in 1911/12. > The lace school had more than 70 students, so it became necessary to solve this problem. That's why

[lace] wonderful resource-machine lacemaking

I have to regard with mixed feelings the fate of these "lacemakers" who were expelled from France and then encouraged to go to Australia. These were people who did not sit at the lace pillow plying bobbins, or making a fabric composed of buttonhole stitches. Instead these are the people who

This from my lacemaking friend who tats and does tambour work: “Actually it was done on a Cornely machine ( like a sewing machine that only does chain stitch). Then the pieces were cut out and embroidered on the veil with additional embroidery stitches. “ I guess no professionals do handwork

Hi Sherry, I've created an album called "Neff, Nancy" in Flickr (link below), and put five photos of the collar in there so any others on Arachne who might be interested can see them too. No, I took a class with someone but I don't think her name was Mary Shields. I have dreams of doing my own

Lorelei, Hey! "...clever boys..."? Some of us clever girls have been involved, and more seriously, computer scientists of both genders have worried about consequences. I think that we best honor the lacemakers who were displaced by lacemaking machines by preserving in collections the gorgeous
