Well, I just have to report I've spent a strenuous evening trying to start
another Binche lesson from Verbeke-Billiet's first syllabus -- #2. I had set
it up about a year ago, winding the bobbins, then set it aside. Lordy what a
mess. I started at 7 pm , it is now 12:30pm and I have the first 2

basic design that was published in a Woodwork magazine many years ago. They
