About this title

Synopsis

"The Art Of Bobbin Lace" is a detailed guide to producing lace, a decorative, open-work fabric formed by looping, interlacing, braiding or twisting threads of various fibres. This vintage guide contains a wealth of timeless information that will be of as much use to needlework enthusiasts today as when first published, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "Important Hints", "The Art Of Bobbin Lace", "Preparing The Bobbins", "The Patterns", "'Genoese' Lace Edge", "Doyley In Point De Flandre", "Applique Trimming In Flandres", "Point", "Motifs In Point De Flandre", "Bolero In Guipure De Flandre", "'Festoon'", "'Spider' Web Stitch", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on lace.
