Cool that you are only 400 miles away!</p><p><br /></p><p>When you do - if you do - decide to sell your piece and do some comparison research... be sure to compare apples to apples. If they are listing something as &quot;handmade&quot;... refer to your notes and your own research and compare their photos and make sure that it is or isn&#039;t...in regard to their price.&nbsp; The same goes the other way. They may list it as machine and it may be handmade.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t say that assuming that they are trying to deceive...I just think they have based their description and or price, on what they may have been told or what it looks like to them based on their own research. I often, OFTEN see things on line or for sale in a shop and they say it is machine when it&#039;s not; hand and it&#039;s machine; crochet when it is tatting; etc... it is like anything else...do your research; or take a chance.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think this is especially when it comes to vintage and antique laces - there are so many different ways to make it; and it&#039;s been made for hundreds of years and in so many countries that it is difficult to learn it all. I really don&#039;t consider myself among the best of the lace experts...but, where I may excel is in the fact that I&#039;ve made many kinds of lace and so I understand construction in a way that some lace experts have not. I honestly feel like I&#039;m a better lace &quot;teacher&quot; than lace expert. But, of course, through teaching and learning, comes knowledge.</p><p><br /></p><p>That is nice that you will print out my lessons... that makes me happy. </p><p>Have a good evening.</p><p>Leslie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
