Museum visit

This app came in very handy recently during a visit to my local museum. I arrange a visit with the curator to view the lace collection. I managed to identify almost all the pieces of lace in the collection using it. I have only very basic knowledge of lace.
I hope you will find thia app as useful as I do. Happy lace making.

Very Informational

This app has extensive knowledge of the lacing world. It provides a unique look at all different types of bobbin lace, as well as other types of lace. Jean Leader is a phenomenal teacher and quite the expert of lace. Highly recommended for anyone who loves lace.

Long time coming

This is an amazing app. Now I can show all the different kinds of lace without taking along extra pillows or books. Great for demonstrating, research and educating. Thank you David and Jean for all your hard work.

Lace

A friend in my lace guild said I should get this app. And I am glad I did! It will help alot. I would love to see early lace as well as the others even if they seem the same. If you could contact the ithaca lace guild, I am sure they would have samples of other lace you do not have in this app. Thanks!!

Perfect!

This is exactly what I was looking for, I have been making Bobbin Lace since 2007 (Torchon & Milanese). Great app that I can view the pictures and descriptions of the different laces, perfect for me to learn the history behind lace & plan my future laces to try. Thank you! PA-USA.
