@auris I am stumped. I'm not sure how much tech support they have either.

Oh, wow: I had no idea. George Washington Carver was also a #crochet lace maker!

You can try the patterns.

@auris Oh, how odd. Yes--the "click here" text is just missing!

This is the link that belongs there: https://www.oidfa.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.oidfa.com%2Forganisation%2Fmembers%2Fmember-secure%2F

Maybe you can hop you over that to get to the Wordpress page.

@auris Mine looks like this and clicking the button goes to Youtube.

@auris

8. Once in Wordpress, the lectures are there. Under "Previous OIDFA lectures".

It's a terrible site. I don't know why all the lace sites are so difficult. We should be sharing all this stuff for free.

@auris The OIDFA site is awful. You need to get to the Members Only section.

Steps:
1. go to oidfa.com
2. The top navigation to the "MEMBERSHIP" menu
3. pick MEMBER ONLY information
4. Now on this page: https://www.oidfa.com/organisation/members/member-secure-information/

5. Click here to enter Member only area green button at the bottom
6. This part you have to find the secret login link. CLICK HERE TO LOGIN (image attached).
7. That will take you to the Wordpress page that you need to log in.

@auris Oh, wait--sorry. This is the OIDFA lecture. I thought it was the Royal School of Needlework one.

Let me find the OIDFA ones.

@auris I don't know why it worked for me.

On this page, I pu in the 8.50 and my name.
Add to cart.
View cart.
Proceed to checkout.

It offered a billing page that worked for me, or Paypal.

So it was smooth and typical for me.

OMG: today's #OIDFA lecture was on lacemakers and museums and organization in Haute-Loire #France. So many groups celebrate these laces, many upcoming festivals and events. Should be posted on the OIDFA site later.

But they showed this one project that astonished even me. Look at how many bobbins are in use here!
