it just a short term 'fad' or does it have any history?

Hi Helen,

Your memory isn’t playing tricks - it’s Lutac lace named after Lucienne 
Tack-van Maldere,  the person who developed it. She wrote a book called Lutac 
Relief which has what I always think of as a cauliflower on the cover. In her 
instructions the padding is covered with cloth stitch. Karen Marie Iversen from 
Denmark also uses the technique for jewellery and she covers the padding with 
half stitch which means that the padding threads are visible and become part of 
the design (there are patterns in her book Modern Lace Jewellery).

[lace] Lutec (?) lace

[H M Clarke]

Hi there, oh knowledgeable ones. 

I had the privilege to go to Anchorage for a lace class way back in, I think, 
1998. I did Bruges but I seem to remember that a few people were learning lutec 
(?) lace. I think it was a bobbin lace that made use of padding techniques from 
some needle laces. I have a mental picture (if I could do those, a topic for a 
future post) of them laying loads of short pieces of thread where they wanted 
it thicker. Have I totally confused you all yet? Anyway, I don't remember ever 
hearing of this lace since then. Did I completely make up this memory or is 
there such a lace? If the latter then was it just a short term 'fad' or does it 
have any history?

Regards, Helen
