[Nfb-krafters-korner] Terminology lesson #1

[AUDREY WELLNER]

Just a little thought ----
   Has anyone ever heard of laces being used for tying your shoes? Some shoes come with round gimp shoe laces, instead of flat cotton braided shoes laces.  Lacing (verb) is also the act of binding up bundles of anything--paper, stalks of wheat in a field or lacing bootstraps or saddles or our old-fashioned high-top wooden wheel roller skates.  And to confuse matters even more "gimp" is also a term in the dressmaking/fashion field used to describe a specific type of heavily braided trim to decorate garments. 
   Take time to learn from others knowledge and inquiry politely. There's a wealth of knowledge to learn from everyone in this world and as you can see from this small sample. Lace (noun) isn't just lace, there are several meanings for one thing, verb, noun or whatever.  English is a complicated language that often has several different meanings for one thing, let alone ethic terminologies used in certain regional areas of this country. How about soda and subs!  We could really go around regionally on those two.

What lace is made out of is a continuous  piece that has no holes in  it.  

You need to think that we have people from all over including other  
countries here and they might have different names then what you have for the  
same things.  It is OK to be curious and ask questions so we all can learn,  
but you don't have to be critical of of how people are telling you.

We want everyone to express themselves and talk about their crafting.
