Oh and by the way Geek, SAGA (Smocking Arts Guild of America) holds an annual convention every year. We would really love for you to attend and then afterwards go out with the girls and have a glass of wine Please attend so you can really learn what it is all about. I'm sure once you do attend you'll really enjoy it. You'll get to meet so many new interesting people.
You'd be surprised to know my wife and mother-in-law are huge smocker and my kids have closets full of smocked outfits. We gave my mother-in-law a smocking magazine subscription last year and on the cover it had smocking, not a picture of noodlists.
Just out of curiosity, do you shun fast smockers in your group? Do you get different colored needles as you get better? Do you force your association to draw a difference between fast and slow smockers, ones who attend the convention versus those that don't? If not, why not, since that is what you want to for USMS, an organization you don't belong to.
