One of the authors pointed me to some supplemental materials that helped me to grasp what is going on in this paper. I think I'm getting it now.

@memsomerville.bsky.socialI think is paper is about bobbin lace for robots.
@memsomerville.bsky.socialMy photos are still processing, but here is a close up of a section of the lace and embroidery. It is so fabulous.

@memsomerville.bsky.socialYou can see the jacket in the candle light on an actual human here, at the "reveal" of the jacket project.

@memsomerville.bsky.socialBecause it was going into competition, I couldn't show results of this until it became public. Yesterday I found out it won "Best use of color" at the Big E Agricultural fair in Massachusetts, Lace division.
Come by the exhibit hall to see our lace group's stuff.
@memsomerville.bsky.socialOMG, we announced our new #BobbinLace workshop this week. And someone is so eager they are flying from CA to take it!
That's how rare beginner classes are.
Anyway: if interested--in #IpswichMA in November. I don't recommend flying, but I guess it's an option.
@memsomerville.bsky.socialThe local newspaper in #IpswichMA did a nice story about us teaching #BobbinLace in this historic lacemaking center.
@memsomerville.bsky.socialLast weekend, #BobbinLace demo in #LexingtonMA, a mathematician came up to me + intensely watched weaving 4 strands of silk. It was funny, but I totally got his interest.
The diagrams in the article would take me 30 seconds to make in lace.
