I rarely come across famed lace, - and then usually, it has had the glass

about the special points of a work are important
therefore the first point is to find out which work represent this
theme.

I have always understood that knots in lace -( broken threads) should be
taken out of the lace - ie, join the broken thread with a knot, then ease
the knot to the side (out of the lace) and continue, then trim the knot away
afterwards, and maybe darn in the ends. I never leave a knot in the lac
This thread had been so fascinating that I'm prompted to add a couple of

This is a good solution. It does create a situation where the person who
mounts a piece of lace is taking additional risk.
It is comparable to the situation that I faced when taking the driving exam
