[QUOTE="Northern Lights Lodge, post: 2217950, member: 13464"]Hi Joan, Good girl! Yes, machine made! I'm assuming that I'm looking at the same piece of lace; although the pictures don't match. But both are machine. The biggest clues in the blow up (lower) photo is that the "filled in" areas within the outline or cordonnet are: 1. The "half stitch" is "suppose" to look much more diagonal in handmade- like the two red marks on the right side of the curl. This looks very horizontal- like the two red marks on the left side of the curl. 2. The half stitch extends PAST the outline or cordonnet - in handmade; it would not. 3. The ground also extends INTO the outline or cordonnet - in handmade; it would not. 4. The little funky diamond without an outline or condonnet is very odd...I don't understand why it is there...? 5. Using two different types of ground in a large field is odd. Handmade may use more than one ground; but each type of ground or filling would be contained and separate from the other... [ATTACH=full]254883[/ATTACH] Anyway... that means you got an A+! Kudos! Leslie[/QUOTE]
