Hi Arachnids Regarding lace machines. I have put a couple of photos on my website blog www.alexstillwell.wordpress.com of a piece of lace which is made in two sections. The edging is hand-made, the rest machine.made. I think the thread may be the same, in which case it is likely that both parties knew what was going on.
I have also added an article that is a summary of my research into Mechlin lace with reference to it being made in England. Blow the dust Alex - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here. For help, write to arachne.modera...@gmail.com.
