Re: [lace] Holes in Binche

[N.A. Neff]

Hi Jane, I really don't think so. The best old Binche / Val have very few
holes at the corners and curves of the cloth-stitch areas. Might you be
thinking of Flanders and modern Val? They have holes between the outer ring
and the inner ring pair.

[lace] Holes in Binche

[Jane Partridge]

Reading Susan's query, and the replies about using support pins to avoid holes 
round the edge of the lace, I've got a niggling memory from the lace 
identification we had to do for C (this is going back 20 years or so - 
goodness, doesn't time fly!) that one of the laces was to be identified by the 
small holes around the edges - it wasn't Binche, was it? If so, trying to avoid 
the holes might be removing an intentional effect???
