Dear Sue,
If it were up to me, I'd go for attractiveness every time. Great minds.....

I have a question for lacemakers with some knowledge of Chantilly.
I am trying to reconstruct an old pattern and have realised that I
don't know the answer to a question I have. I am looking at areas of
the lace which are enclosed with two gimps. They are in effect
making a stem for the floral patterns to go off.
The lace that I am studying has been so stretched out of shape that
I can't tell the answer from it.
In geometric Bucks, the pinholes would go on the pre-existing grid
and it would be all straightforward. In floral Bucks they could be
moved so that the design flowed well. I don't have enough background
knowledge of Chantilly to know what should happen. Should I use the
regular pinholes, or should I use ones placed to look more attractive?
You can tell which I would prefer to do, simply from the way I
phrased the last sentence!!! However I would like to know which
would be correct in Chantilly lace
Sue
