My first lace hanky was hand sewn and with my glasses of the time and complicated eyes I found it very difficult, only managing to see to work about an inch at a time. Eventually I did get it complete (but not entirely happy with that). Last year after making the first set of napkins I had the same dilema and chose to try machine sewing, so I used a sample piece of lace and the sewing machine and was much happier with that. This year I did set number 2 in the same way and am due to complete our own and will chose that option again. I used to do lots of hand sewing but unfortunately age and eyesight mean I have to choose other ways.
I did like the way to hand sew, the 3 point stitch (not the word) and in past years would have happily continued in that way. But I would say whatever the choose practise first before you achieve something you are unhappy with.
