Dear Arachnids I agree that lace was made to be cut into suitable lengths and used and I always advise that when it starts to wear that is time to preserve it so that future generations can enjoy and learn from it. Museums that get so precious about their lace that you cannot have sufficient light or even access to study it properly make me wonder if they have lost the plot. Surely we preserve lace so that it can be enjoyed and properly studied so that we can learn from it. Keeping it safe for the future until it eventually disintegrates without it ever being seen or properly studied does not make sense. (Sorry, I have a bee in my bonnet about that one.)
