Whenever I'm not sure if a word exists, I check the Oxford Dictionary of
Spelling. There it is - quite clearly - lacemaker, lacemaking.
Other 'lace' entries are;
Lace, laces, laced, lacing, lace-glass, lace-glasses, lace-pillow, lace-up,
lacewing, lacewood, lacework, lacey (use lacy)

I always use the one word - Lacemaking.
However, about an hour ago, I was googling a site, and they would only accept
lace making!!! G!!

that, I say!!!
I make lace so I am a Lacemaker :)) (perfectly logic
I think this is one of those questions that eventually gets answered
by determined usage over a prolonged time period. Note that in the
IOLI Bulletin we always use "lacemaking."

I always type it as one word, Brenda - and always become irritated when
spellcheck objects! The same with "lacemaker"! I wonder if this is
another of those English/American differences? I note that our American
friends often refer to "I've been lacing today", whereas I say "I've been

The IOLI has encountered this style question as well and has gone with
lacemaker and lacemaking. Another English language style issue which needs
resolution in an official lace style manual is whether the plural of lace is
lace
or laces. Also, at issue, is the word reticello or reticella. I

When ever you are asked what you are doing, the reply is usually lacemaking

I have just received the proofs for Edition 5, and the graphics people
have queried "Lacemaking" in the title and suggest "Lace making". I
know this is one of those personal preference situations, but what does
anyone else prefer? My own choice is one word - and that is Lace Guild
choice too.
