Subject: [lace] Question
The net you mention sounds like the thread cover used for serger machines.
I use them to keep my serger threads in order.
I had a similar experience a couple of years ago when I slipped on the ice on my way
to work one morning and demolished my right arm (and yes, I'm
right handed). I can empathise with your predicament, Patty.
I didn't do too much craft-wise for a few weeks excepty that I was in a cross-stitch

I agree with most that has been said so far -- the overal design, the
precision of detail, the condition and the availability are probably
the main criteria in establishing a value of any piece of visual art,

Machine lace is one of those things where the value is purely in the eye of
the beholder: supply vs. demand. There is no intrinsic value. It is just a
matter of what somebody is willing to pay for it. I haven't a clue, myself.

Hi all:
Regarding the Battle of Britain panel, a few people have mentioned its
historical connection, but nobody has yet mentioned the huge difference
that may make in price. The Battle of Britain took place before the US
was involved in the war, so some may not understand its importance, or

Dear Lacemaker
I guess that an aesthetic criteria for judging machine made lace is still
emerging as well. The Battle of Britain panel is certainly the gold standard for
machine made lace. What makes it special?
I like it because I think it is very interesting visually. Along each side
are great landmarks of L

Hello Devon,
In my opinion the worth of machine-made lace is a very personel one. There
are pieces who take your breathe away. Have you ever been in Le Puy and
there in the museum ? There you found hundreds of old machine-made laces
they look not only for the first but also for the seond and third
