One of the reasons that doilies were/are so expensive (& thus nana’s are very precious about their doilies) is that on top of the incredible amount of work crocheting you also have to meticulously block and starch the doily to really see the lacework.

Blocking this alone took over an hour & I ran out of T pins thus was forced to use standard sewing pins. Starching required 3 passes of either side to get reasonable stiffness whilst being terrified of the iron accidentally burning the applied starch.
