<p>[QUOTE="Northern Lights Lodge, post: 1952461, member: 13464"]I agree that lacey bits are often ignored. Sometimes people really have no clue as to what they are looking at. They don't know how it was made or how old it may be. It seems some segment of the population sees lace and thinks that it was knitted, tatted or crocheted. Certainly much of it is; and was... particularly what people see most of the time in 20th century lace. They assume that if it is "fine" that it must be machine made; or if it is coarse it is handmade. The truth is; that there is fine handmade lace and course hand made lace and there is also fine machine made and coarse machine made lace. The trick is to correctly identify it!</p><p><br /></p><p>Leslie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
