Thank you Devon & Lorelei! I'm on digest so just now received your excellent suggestions & links. Devon, my lace guild is demonstrating various techniques on Sunday at a Victorian home owned by a historical society. In an effort to be relevant to my surroundings, I thought it would be helpful to know what type of needle lace would have been worn when the house was new in 1862. I will take modern samples but now I can use my Lace app (& iPad if there is wifi available) to illustrate this beautiful technique. Sorry to say, my grasp of lace history is weak so when my usual searches didn't return enough info, I asked for help. Lorelei, all I can say is yowza! The photos posted on Ning are beyond delicious & your analysis of point de gaze stitches & their uses is excellent. Plenty to digest before 1pm on Sunday! Thanks for reminding me that one of my favorite pieces of lace is the point de gaze fan in the Koon collection. BTW--I wanted to thank you for posting your tape! lace lesson. There are loads of individual diagrams for specific points in the pattern. Thorough & oh so helpful! Sincerely, Susan Hottle, Erie, PA USA
