Good morning All,
I wonder if anyone else has had this problem. Some designers print out
their patterns on coloured paper so that they cannot be reproduced by
photocopying. I understand this as they do not want their designs sold
on or even passed on to other people. But I do not like to prick

Hi Jean et al,
It sounds really interesting - and such a lot of hard work!
I wonder if many of you have seen the wonderful tapestry in Fishguard, in
West Wales, depicting the French invasion of two hundred years ago, and
their rout by a lady called Jemima? That also was sewn by lots of
The more I think about and read about Binche, the less I think I know what it
is. Only one thing seems to be clear: it wasn't made in Binche. Some people
seem to think it was made in Valenciennes. Bertha Van Doren (Lace Magazine)
seemed to think it was made in Antwerp. As a rule of thumb, I

I like the definition in your 3rd paragraph.
A more accurate, though broad definition: Bobbin lace is an off-loom

1. Santina Levey points out that the towns of Valenciennes and Binche are
very close together, almost contiguous. Her opinion is, therefore, that the
towns were making the same kinds of laces at the same time. Antwerp was the
source of Pottenkant, a straight lace with long symmetrical

Dear Jane and Spiders,
Another thought for a definition of lace.
A form of weaving using threads on bobbins over a pattern[called a pricking]
supported by pins inserted as the work progresses.
Just another cents worth!

Hi All
Just though I'd give you all an insight into the lace which I've found here in
the south of Spain. Having moved here permanently in Sept I spent several
months in a 'lace wilderness' apart from finding a local (English speaking)
sewing group. There I swiftly found willing pupils and now
We've just posted a new set of Lacemakers' Census 'luggage tags',
including some international ones.
Also, we forgot to mention that at the end of last month we did an
extensive update of lace events organized by The Lace Guild.
