The teacher was very flexible and taught many different laces in one group. She had binders of samples of all sorts of laces which she had made let us look through till we saw a design that appealed and then we were off.
We were started on Torchon (and I love the variety of stitches available in Torchon) and encouraged to design our own patterns within the first few lessons so we understood the structure better. Then I move on to Bucks (as I loved the floral appearance), Beds and needle laces. As the teacher was one of the moderators for City and Guilds, I decided to sign up for that. So that was a year of design classes with a group of varied craft makers. Then the lace element included Torchon, Beds, Bucks, Honiton, Hollie Point, tambour, braid laces (with pre-made tape and also Milanese), tatting (and maybe more, but Iâd need to get out the folder to remember!)
