[QUOTE="Northern Lights Lodge, post: 1960779, member: 13464"]Yes, you are both right! Nice job! Even if you do not make crocheted lace...they should be fairly easy to judge. In comparing how "crisp" they look. The machine made (top) one looks quite "messy". It is impossible to follow just one thread and see where it goes...even under magnification. The threads are split and compromised. On the backside photo (on the right side of the machine example) - it is clearly "garbled". When we look at the hand made example; stitches are clear and crisp and appear uncompromised. We can clearly see "chain stitches"...running along the top edge and a familiar repetitive stitch running along each of the scalloped elements. Easy lesson. Leslie[/QUOTE]
