 Someone has gone to tremendous trouble to produce bobbin lace like designs
for machine embroidery. Usually, when artists produce a lace design they take
a lot of liberties with it to “improve it”. But these designs show a level
of fealty that suggests intimate knowledge.
One thing that is intriguing is that historically, chemical lace, was
considered the answer to the mechanized lacemaker’s prayers for the purpose
of copying needle laces. The ability to provide relief as in gros point, and
the fact that the needle laces were somewhat non-linear made the chemical lace
method the preferred method for this purpose. But, here, it is bobbin lace
that is being emulated.
