I was in Bruges last October, and can confirm what Achim says. The Kantcentrum
and its museum have indeed moved, because the owners of the property, in which
it used to be, wanted to sell the building. The new centre is modern, light and
friendly, and the museum is excellent. There is modern
Hi all,
I was in Brugge 15 yrs ago and really enjoyed the lace museum. I visited
the city again last month and was disappointed to find that the museum was
no longer there. Furthermore, stores were selling most lace pieces for
really cheap, too cheap to have been made by hand, in my opinion.Â
Dear All
Brenda has noted what can be a problem. Could I ask those producing patterns
to be printed out somehow or other to include a scale, just a line marked with
a cm or inch (or both) so that we can check if all is well, or adjust if
necessary. I attended a workshop given by Cathy Barley, the
Hello Dee,
the Kantcentrum is still existing - it just moved. I assume it’s bigger than
before, but I couldn’t visit it yet since when I was there on our way back to
Berlin from the Normandy we were too late (it closes at 17:00). The new address
is Balstraat 16. On the other side of the street
The Kantcentrum is now in the old lace school, I am currently in a Binche 4
class with Anne-Marie (there are 14 of us and two other courses going on at
the same time) There is a museum (and shop) on the ground floor with some

Even the page orientation settings can affect the size of the printout!
Organising workshops a few years ago, I was sent a file to print for students.
The tutor's printer was set to use landscape paper. She assumed that was
normal for everyone. However my settings use portrait by default.
I was so fortunate to attend one of Anne-Marie's summer courses a number of
years ago. I would love to be able to do that again, but sadly, I know that
this won't happen. Anne Marie has announced that she is retiring from
teaching. A number of her students, including Anny Noben-Slegers, are
When you download a pdf file with a pattern from a website and print it right
away it can differ from the real size. That is the reason I give the
measurements at the Every weeks endings now underneath the pattern.
To be sure you get the correct size, you have to save it on your computer and
Hi Arachnids
There are many reasons for emailed prickings to end up the wrong size.
Sometimes it is the computer setting, sometimes the printer setting. I use two
different printers set to print 100%, one reduces the pattern slightly, the
other enlarges it. After experimenting I worked out how to

And also, you should check the setting of your printer. You have to keep
the scale at 100%, and not fit to page. Sometimes you have to enter your
printers settings to see what the default values are. Every printer is a
mystery and different form the other!
Good luck!
