I know - my plan (if I ever start the piece of Binche I dream of doing) is
to get it finished in Bruges. And they don't even charge a fortune for
overlapping and mounting. I have no great desire to spend the time sewing -
and practising to get a good result - when I can pay someone else to do it
for me in an expert fashion and leave me the time free to make lace.
yes, I wondered what the rules on finishing would be in a competition

Subject: Re: [lace] Hand or machine- emerging sensibilities?
Even in Bruges today, the lacemakers don't (mostly) mount their own lace.
There are still specialist needlepersons who do it for them. Some of my
students try to make sure their Flanders /Binche lace is finished to
coincide with a
trip, so the overlap join and mounting task can be handed over to the
experts.
Now, there's a conumdrum for you. Is it better for the lacemaker themself
to
mount the lace, even if it's by machine, than to hand it over to a third
party. And in a competition on the continent, would this possibility be
taken
into account, or do the rules state the lace must be finished by the
lacemaker.
