I did one small 9 pin edge with my Grandmother when I was about 19,in England, then did not make any lace till I was about 40/41and living here in Oz..
I managed to find a course of 8 lessons somewhere nearby, and joined the group of 5 or 6 with the teacher. However, she went around the table starting people off each lesson. As it all came back to me, I managed to begin to start myself off, after watching her start a couple of the others. I can now start myeslf off Well,!!! - but I know some of the others had difficulties for many years , as they had relied on her, and never really grasped the idea of where and how to begin a piece of lace. Yes, I know teachers who keep their students gong on and on for ages - years sometimes, and I am sure it is just for the moneuy from classes. The students don't seem to have any initiative to go it alone, choose their own designs, try a different lace, etc. Not good, in my opinion. I had a lady once say she would love to try Beds, but her teacher said she was not ready yet. When I asked how long she had been learning she told me "only 4 years" !!!!!!!! She was getting bored with the small torchon edges she was Still having to do!!!!!!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrr!! This is Wrong, in my opinion. (don't start me off on this track!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)) ) Regards from Liz in Melbourne, Oz. lizl...@bigpond.com -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter.
