I for one really appreciate your input on 'threads' such as this.
I only wish I could take some of the classes you have been able to.
I make it a point to 'print and file' your posts.
Thank you again

your help and your knowledge is appreciated, and i mean no disrespect
towards your studies, but bobbin lace is meant to be experimented with
for each new beginner until they find the results they are looking for.

Hi Susan,
Some things just require practice. The more picots you make the better they
become.
Don't give up.

Jeri is not only generous with her knowledge, but she has a huge
collection of books and textiles. We are all fortunate to have such a
helpful resource to draw on.
An example: Someone wrote to the Professor's web site about a shawl she

Hi Jerri and All.
I do hope you'll continue to offer your knowledge to us Jerri. I'm all eyes

I'm very interested in the conservation of laces. Who wants to spend hours

One thing I haven't seen raised in this thread - I seem to recall that
