I edited your query Ann, as I thought I had put it in the subject line this
would simplify. It was Malcolm's Cope. I noticed nothing of the sort in
David's incredible pieces. I guess my eye just goes to what I saw in Malcolm's
right away, and wondered if it is my varied needlework background filtering, or
a part of Malcolm's piece (and appropriate to that style/technique), or
inappropriate if it was modified.
No offense intended, just asking stupid questions. <S>

My query (and hope it isn't too rude) is, why isn't the grain of the mesh
worked within each of the "medallions," symetrical to it's opposing
medallion and yet within the medallion itself, and/or the grain parallel or
perpendicular to the outer and inner edge?

Is this referring to...Malcolm's cope?

More familiar with the term Madeira, but there is much info on doing it if you
google "French Heirloom" sewing techniques and the like. As I remembered "pin
stitch" it often could be a fine finish to say a hand-rolled hem that could
look like a drawn thread but just stitched so looks drawn (or can be). Only
one piece of fabric would be used, I suppose one could call it a faux Madeira
perhaps.
