Hello Everyone. Surely using a sewing machine or hand sewing should be up to the lacemaker. I agree with what Carol said about Arthritis in the hands. I have the same problem. A while back in Lace magazine. The Chairman I think it was posed this question. She finally decided that sewing machines were not around when our sister lacemakers made lace for a living. If they had been I feel they would have used them. We may make an old craft, but we do live in the modern world. So why can`t we use things that would help us??? Does anyone agree???Daphne Wet Wet Wet Norfolk England _________________________________________________________________ Telly addicts unite!
