,shuttle4 ,the needlework called ,tatting in ,england1 ,frivolit in ,french1 and ,frivolitten in ,german1 is a work which seems1 from all accounts1 to have been in favour several generations ago4 ,modern ingenuity has discovered some ways of improving on the original plan of tatting1 which was1 indeed1 rather a primitive sort of business as first practised4 ,to ,mrs4 ,mee1 one of our most accomplished artistes in all matters connected with the work-table1 belongs1 we believe1 the introduction of the plan of working from the reel instead of the shuttle4 ,by this alteration the advantage of the shuttle being constantly kept filled with cotton was gained1 and the necessity also obviated for frequently joining the thread2 and to ,mdlle4 ,riego1 equally distinguished in all details appertaining to the employment of the needle1 ladies are indebted for an arrangement by which the same thread used in the making of the pattern is used for fastening the work4 ,the old plan only provided for the working of the different portions which constituted the pattern1 and then these portions had to be sewn together with a needle and thread4 ,the ingenious workers on the ,continent have also given much attention of late to the art of tatting1 and our instructions now printed comprise what we consider the best mode of learning and doing this exceedingly interesting and fashionable work4 ,illustration3 ,tatting ,pin4 ,tatting differs entirely from crochet1 and is composed of stitches forming knots4 ,it is intended as an imitation of point lace1 and is especially used for trimming under-linen1 on account of its strength4 ,to make the stitches or knots a small instrument is used1 called a shuttle4 ,this shuttle consists of two oval pieces1 flat on one side and convex on the other1 and is made of wood or ivory4 ,the two oval pieces are joined together by a strong cross-piece4 ,the illustration shows the construction of the shuttle4 ,these shuttles are made in ivory1 pearl1 tortoiseshell inlaid with pearl1 and silver2 they are also manufactured in coloured bone1 black1 red1 and white4 ,the best to work with are the pearl for a white shuttle1 and the inlaid tortoiseshell for a black shuttle2 the prices vary from sixpence to one shilling and two-and-sixpence each4 ,in selecting a shuttle be careful to see that the ends close1 as if dropped it soon becomes unthreaded1 which is very inconvenient4 ,the cotton intended for the work is wound round this shuttle1 and the thickness of the cotton varies according to the style of work4 ,it is better to use the proper tatting cotton1 because it is stronger than the ordinary kinds2 this is manufactured by ,messrs4 ,walter ,evans and ,co4 for the purpose4 ,their ,boar's ,head ,cotton is also frequently used1 and answers very well4 ,shuttles4 ,these are made in #c sizes3--,finest1 ,no4 #a2 ,no4 #b1 useful medium size2 ,no4 #c1 the largest4 ,the ,way to ,hold the ,hands4 ,take the shuttle in the right hand1 between the thumb and second finger1 and allow the forefinger to remain at liberty1 and rest the under part of the shuttle between the second and third and on the middle finger4 ,place the thread round the three middle fingers of the left hand1 so as to form a loop1 keeping the second and third fingers a little apart1 and bring the cotton again between the thumb and forefinger1 letting the end fall within the palm of the hand1 while the end of cotton which holds on to the shuttle passes over the thumb-nail4 ,to ,make a ,stitch4 ,keep the hands in the position above described2 pass the shuttle at the back1 through the loop--that is1 between the second and third fingers4 ,take the end of the shuttle which comes out from the loop between the forefinger and thumb of the right hand1 and strain the cotton very tightly towards the right4 ,when the cotton is drawn through the loop1 this cotton must not be impeded by the fourth finger2 it should1 on the contrary1 slide over it1 and be drawn tight4 ,it should divide the loop into two parts4 ,after this withdraw the second left-hand finger1 which is above the cotton1 and pass it again under that cotton1 so as to draw up the loop4 ,a half-stitch is thus formed1 and must be tightened by being drawn closely to the forefinger and thumb of the left hand4 ,for the remaining half of the stitch keep the hands in the same position1 but1 instead of letting the cotton fall over the thumb1 pass this cotton over the back of the hand2 then let the shuttle fall between the second and third fingers of the left hand1 in front1 and take it out again at the back1 strain the cotton very tightly1 withdraw the second finger from the loop1 letting the cotton which is behind the hand sweep over the fingers4 ,when this is done1 guide with the unoccupied fingers of the left hand this second half-stitch up to the other1 thus completing one stitch4 ,the ,way to ,make a ,loop in ,tatting4 ,when a certain number of stitches are made1 very tightly draw in the loop by straining the cotton until the first stitch touches the last1 and thus a loop is formed4 ,during this process the stitches should be held tightly between the forefinger and thumb4 ,the ,way to ,make a ,purl4 ,a purl is a small loop of cotton often used as an edging in tatting1 as1 for instance1 round the outer edge of the ovals in tatted insertion ,no4 #b4 ,the following is the easiest method of making a purl3--,the stitches are not made quite closely together at the place where a purl is to be made2 about one-sixth of an inch is left between each4 ,this space is left free until the loop is made by uniting the stitches2 then the small piece of cotton in the space bulges out between the stitches1 and forms the purl4 ,if several are required a small space is left between every two or three stitches1 according to the desired number4 ,care must be taken in that case that the small pieces of cotton left be all of the same length1 so that the purl may be perfectly even4 ,the purl can also be made thus3 ,at the same time with the end of thread take the tatting-pin or a very large darning needle or knitting needle in the left hand1 so that the point may come out farther than the row of stitches2 if then you wish to make a purl1 throw the cotton on the pin before making the stitch2 then fasten this stitch1 and push it at once close to the preceding2 the pin with the cotton should come above the stitches4 ,do not take out the pin before all the purl and all the stitches are completed and joined together4 ,joining the ,work4 ,place the tatting-pin in the loop that is to be joined1 and with the hook draw the thread of the loop--that is1 round the hand through it--pass the shuttle through this loop1 and draw it up tightly close to the stitches4 ,a straight or double thread is used to join various parts of the work1 and forms very beautiful patterns4 ,without the straight thread we should be unable to imitate point lace patterns1 or1 indeed1 to execute any designs but those composed of circles1 ovals1 c4 ,to use this straight thread #b shuttles are required2 they should be of different colours4 ,sometimes one end of thread is left attached to the reel instead of using the second shuttle4 ,in commencing a loop the straight thread is held between the second and third fingers of the left hand1 about #b or #c inches from the work2 the other shuttle is held as usual in the right hand1 and the stitches and purls worked with it upon the foundation of the straight thread of the second shuttle4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,tatting4 #a4--,pine ,pattern

on to the middle rosette4 ,the strip of insertion which comes next is worked in two halves as follows3--,work first1 for the half turned towards the centre1 two rows of circles lying opposite each other2 begin with one of the largest circles1 consisting of #d double1 #a purl1 #c times alternately #b double1 #a purl1 then #d double2 99 at a short distance work a smaller circle of #d double1 #a purl1 #d double2 after another short distance1 a circle like the first joined on to it2 then again a smaller circle1 which at the place of the first purl is joined on to the purl of the preceding small circle4 ,a short distance from this work again one of the larger circles just described1 which is fastened on to the preceding similar circle2 then repeat from 99 till the double row has nine larger and eight smaller circles4 ,the first half of the strip of insertion is completed2 the second outer half is worked like the first1 only the small circles must here be worked without any purl1 and two of them together must always be fastened on to the two joined small circles of the first half1 as was done for the five-branched pattern of the rosette2 besides this1 each of the large circles has #d double1 #a purl1 #d times alternately #b double1 #a purl1 then #d double4 ,when eight similar patterns have been worked1 join them into a circle from illustration by means of small rosettes2 this circle is then joined to the already-finished part of the cover4 ,the small rosettes and remaining patterns of the antimacassar are easily worked from illustration4 ,the completed patterns are

average worker is found to be two yards to the square inch with a single shuttle2 three yards to the square inch with two shuttles4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,embroidery ,,instructions4 ,the art of embroidering with cotton on linen1 muslin1 cambric1 piqu1 c41 is very easy to learn by strictly attending to the following instructions4 ,the size of the thread and needle must correspond to that of the material on which you embroider2 the needle must not be too long1 and the cotton must be soft4 ,messrs4 ,walter ,evans and ,co4's embroidery cotton is the best4 ,skilful embroiderers never work over anything1 because when you tack the material on paper or cloth each stitch shows1 and if the material is very fine1 leaves small holes2 but for those that are learning we should advise them to tack the material to be embroidered upon a piece of toile cire4 ,if you work without this1 place the material straight over the forefinger of the left hand2 the material must never be held slantways4 ,the three other fingers of the left hand hold the work2 the thumb remains free to give the right position to each stitch4 ,the work must always1 if possible1 lie so that the outline of the pattern is turned towards the person who works4 ,for the sake of greater clearness one part of the following illustrations is given in larger size than nature4 ,preparing the patterns is one of the most important things in embroidery1 for the shape of the patterns is often spoiled merely because they have not been prepared with sufficient care4 ,illustration3 #ff4--,scallop4 ,,illustration #ff shows how to prepare a scallop4 ,take thicker cotton than that with which you work2 never commence with a knot1 and do not take a thread longer than sixteen or eighteen inches4 ,the outlines of the scallops are first traced with short straight stitches4 ,in the corners particularly the stitches must be short4 ,the space between the outlines is filled with chain stitches1 as can be seen from illustration2 they must not be too long1 otherwise the embroidery will look coarse4 ,it is in this way that every pattern to be worked in button-hole or satin stitch is to be prepared4 ,illustration3 #fg4--;,double ,overcast ,stitch4 ,,illustration #fg shows the double overcast stitch or button-hole stitch in a straight line4 ,after having traced the outline begin to work from left to right2 fasten the cotton with a few stitches1 hold it with the thumb of the left hand under the outline1 insert the needle downwards above the outline1 draw it out under the same above the cotton which you hold in the left hand1 and draw it up4 ,repeat for all the stitches in the same manner2 they must be regular and lie close to one another4 ,great care should be taken that the material on which you embroider is not puckered4 ,illustration3 #fh4--,overcast ,stitch4 ,,illustration #fh 7,overcast ,stitch74--,the double overcast and the button-hole stitches are worked from left to right1 whilst back stitches1 knotted and satin stitches are worked from right to left4 ,the stitch is worked in the same way as the double overcast1 only the needle must never be drawn out above1 but below1 the cotton with which you work1 and which you keep down with the thumb of the left hand4 ,illustration3 #fi4--,slanting ,overcast ,stitch4 ,,illustration #fi4--,the slanting overcast stitch is worked without tracing the outline1 always inserting the needle downwards--that is1 from top to bottom4 ,the needle must be inserted in the manner shown in illustration--that is1 not straight1 but slanting2 insert it a little farther than the last stitch1 and draw it out close to it4 ,the wrong side of the work must show back stitches4 ,this sort of stitch is used for the fine outlines in patterns or letter4 ,illustration3 #gj4--;,back ,stitch4 ,,illustration #gj4--,this shows the back stitch1 the working of which is well known2 it is worked in several rows close to each other4 ,illustration3 #ga4--,point ,crois4 ,illustration3 #gb4--,point ,crois4 ,,illustrations #ga #gb show another kind of back stitch1 called point crois1 which is only used on very thin and transparent materials4 ,this stitch forms on the wrong side a sort of darned pattern1 which is seen by transparence on the right side1 and gives the embroidered pattern a thicker appearance1 contrasting with the rest of the work 7see the lower leaves of the flower on illustration #aaj74 ,for this stitch insert the needle into the material as for the common back stitch1 draw it out underneath the needle on the opposite outline of the pattern1 so as to form on the wrong side a slanting line4 ,insert the needle again as for common back stitch2 draw it out slanting at the place marked for the next stitch on the opposite outline1 as shown in illustration #ga4 ,illustration3 #gc--- ,knotted ,stitch4 ,,illustration #gc shows the knotted stitch2 the simplest way of working it is to work two back stitches at a short distance from each other over the same thread4 ,the knotted stitch seen in ,,illustration #gd is worked thus3--,take about four threads of the material on the needle1 draw the needle half out1 wind the cotton twice round the point of the needle1 hold it tight with the thumb1 draw the needle out carefully and insert it at the place where the stitch was begun1 and draw it out at the place where the next stitch is to be worked4 ,illustration3 #gd4--,knotted ,stitch4 ,illustration3 #ge4--,knotted ,stitch ,the knotted stitch seen on ,,illustration #ge is worked in nearly the same manner as the preceding one4 ,before drawing the cotton out of the material hold it tight with the left-hand thumb2 leave the needle in the same position1 wind the cotton twice round it1 turn the needle from left to right1 so 7follow the direction of the arrow7 that its point arrives where the cotton was drawn out 7marked by a cross in illustration71 insert the needle there1 and draw it out at the place of the next stitch4 ,,illustrations #gf #gg4--,raised satin stitch is principally used for blossoms1 flowers1 leaves1 letters1 c4 ,after having traced the outlines of the pattern1 fill the space left between them with chain stitches in a direction different from that in which the pattern is to be embroidered2 begin at the point of the leaf1 working from right to left1 make short straight stitches1 always ,illustration3 #gf4--,raised ,satin ,stitch4 inserting the needle close above the outline and drawing it out below4 ,the leaves on the flowers1 as well as on the branches1 must be begun from the point1 because they thus acquire a better shape4 ,if you wish to work a leaf divided in the middle1 as seen in illustration #gg1 you must trace the veining before you fill it with chain stitches1 then begin at one point of the leaf and work first one half and then the other4 ,illustration3 #gg4--,raised ,satin ,stitch4 ,illustration3 #gh4--,point de ,plume4 ,,illustration #gh shows the so-called point de plume on a scalloped leaf4 ,it is worked like the satin stitch1 only the needle is drawn through the material in a slanting direction4 ,illustration3 #gi4--,point de ,minute4 ,,illustration #gi 7,point de ,minute74--,this stitch is often used instead of satin stitch when the patterns must appear raised4 ,wind the cotton several times round the point of the needle1 which is inserted into the material half its length 7the number of times the cotton is to be wound round the needle depends on the length of the pattern71 hold fast the windings with the thumb of the left hand1 draw the needle and the cotton through the windings1 insert the needle into the material at the same place1 and draw it out at the place where the next stitch is to begin4 ,illustration3 #hj4--,ladder ,stitch4 ,illustration3 #ha4--,ladder ,stitch4 ,,illustrations #hj #ha show the ladder stitch1 often used in ornamental embroidery4 ,trace first the outlines as seen in illustrations2 mark also the cross stitches between the outlines1 so that the first touch the outlines only at both ends4 ,the outlines are embroidered in overcast stitch or double overcast2 the material is cut away underneath the ladder stitch between the outlines4 ,we have now shown the different kinds of stitches used in embroidery2 the following illustrations show them used for different patterns4 ,illustration3

in the centre and very fine at both ends4 ,,illustrations #hf #hg 7,button-holes and ,eyelets74--,this kind of embroidery is used only in round or long patterns4 ,trace first the outline of the hole1 cut away a small round piece of material1 not too close to the outlines 7when the button-hole is very small merely insert the point of the scissors or a stiletto into the material71 fold the edge of the material back with the needle1 and work the hole in overcast stitch1 inserting the needle into the empty place in the centre and drawing it out under the outline4 ,some button-holes are worked separately2 sometimes they are in a row2 if so1 take care to begin to work each button-hole at the place where it touches the next4 ,in the following button-holes the outside must be traced double1 so as to reach as far as the next one1 but each button-hole is finished at once4 ,illustration #hf shows a button-hole worked round in button-hole stitch1 #hg an eyelet-hole worked in overcast4

considered to be an old-fashioned art1 is by no means so ancient as lacemaking4 ,knitting has never entirely quitted the hands of ,english and ,german ladies2 indeed1 among all good housewives of any civilised country1 it is reckoned an indispensable accomplishment4 ,knitting schools have been established of late years both in ,ireland and ,scotland1 and ,her ,majesty the ,queen has herself set an example of this industry1 as well as largely patronised the industrial knitters of ,scotland4 ,of the rudiments of this useful art many ladies are at present ignorant2 it is in the hope of being useful to these that the following instructions are offered4 ,to knit1 two1 three1 four1 or five needles1 and either thread1 cotton1 silk1 or wool are required4 ,knitting needles are made of steel1 of ivory1 or of wood2 the size to be used depends entirely upon the material employed1 whether thread1 cotton1 silk1 single or double wool1 for knitting4 ,as the size of the needles depends upon that of the cotton1 a knitting gauge is used 7see ,no4 #bhg74 ,the gauge 7page #bij7 is the exact size of ,messrs4 ,h4 ,walker and ,co4's knitting gauge4 ,our readers will remark that ,english and foreign gauges differ very essentially2 the finest size of ,german needles1 for example1 is ,no4 #a1 which is the size of the coarsest ,english wooden or ivory needle4 ,straight knitting is usually done with two needles only for round knitting for socks1 stockings1 c41 three1 four1 and five needles are employed4 ,illustration3 #bhg4--,knitting ,gauge4 99 99 99 99 99 #bhh4--;,casting ,on4 ,this term is used for placing the first row or round of knitting stitches on the needles--casting them on--and is done in two ways--by knitting on the stitches1 or as follows3-- ,hold the thread between the first and second finger of the left hand1 throw it over the thumb and first finger so as to form a loop1 and pass the needle in the loop2 throw the thread lightly round the needle1 pass it through the loop1 and draw up the thread2 this forms the first stitch 7see ,no4 #bhh74 ,illustration3 #bhh4--;,casting ,on4 #bhi4--,to ,knit ,on4 ,illustration3 #bhi4--,knitting ,on4 ,take the needle on which the stitches are cast in the left hand1 and another needle in the right hand--observe the position of the hands 7,no4 #bhi74 ,hold the left-hand needle between the thumb and third finger1 leaving the first finger free to move the points of the needles4 7,the wonderful sense of touch in the first or index finger is so delicate1 that an experienced knitter can work without ever looking at her fingers1 by the help of this touch only--in fact1 knitting becomes a purely mechanical labour1 and as such is most useful47 ,insert the point of the right-hand needle in the loop or stitch formed on the left-hand needle1 bring the thread once round1 turning the point of the needle in front under the stitch1 bringing up the thread thrown over1 which in its turn becomes a stitch1 and is placed on the left-hand needle4 #bij4--,simple ,knitting 7plain74 ,illustration3 #bij4--,plain ,knitting4 ,pass the right-hand needle into the #ast stitch of the left-hand needle1 at the back throw the thread forward1 and with the first finger pass the point of the needle under the stitch in forming a fresh stitch with the thread already thrown over1 as in knitting on1 only1 instead of placing the newly-formed stitch on the left-hand needle1 leave it on the right-hand needle1 and let the stitch drop off the point of the left-hand needle4 ,continue thus until all the stitches are taken from the left to the right-hand needle1 and the row is then complete4 #bia4--,to ,purl1 ,pearl1 or ,seam4 ,seaming or purling a stitch is done by taking up the stitch in front instead of at the back1 throwing the thread over and knitting the stitch as in plain knitting2 but before beginning to purl1 the thread must be brought in front of the needle1 and if a plain stitch follows1 the thread is passed back after the purl stitch is made 7see ,no4 #bia74 ,illustration3 #bia4--,purling4 #bib4--,to ,increase4 ,increasing or making a stitch is done by throwing the thread once round the needle and in the next row knitting it as an ordinary stitch4 ,illustration3 #bib4--;,increasing4 #bic4--,to ,decrease4 ,this is done in two ways3 firstly1 taking up two stitches and knitting them together as one2 secondly1 by taking up a stitch without knitting it1 called slipping1 then by knitting the following stitch in the usual way1 and then slipping the #ast 7unknitted7 over the #bnd 7knitted7 7see ,no4 #bic74 ,when it is necessary to decrease two stitches at once1 proceed thus3--,slip one1 knit two stitches together1 then slip the unknitted stitch over the two knitted together4 ,illustration3 #bic4--;,decreasing4 #bid4--,round ,knitting4 ,to knit a round four or five needles are used2 it is thus that stockings1 socks1 cuffs1 mittens1 c41 are made4 ,to knit with four needles1 cast on1 say1 #cb stitches upon one needle1 insert a second needle in the last stitch of the first1 and cast on #cj stitches2 proceed in a similar way with a third needle1 but casting on #bh only2 when this is done1 knit the two extra stitches on the first needle on to the last2 this makes #cj stitches upon each needle1 and completes the round4 #bie4--;,casting ,off4 ,knit two stitches1 and with the left-hand needle slip the first stitch over the second2 continue this to the end of the row4 ,note4--,the last knitted row1 before casting off1 should be knitted loosely4 #bif4--,to ,pick up a ,stitch4 ,this is done by taking up the thread between two stitches and forming a stitch with it4 99 99 99 99 99 ,the following ,designs of ,new ,stitches can be used for a variety of work3-- #big4--,peacock's ,tail ,pattern4 ,needles1 wood or ivory2 ,messrs4 ,walter ,evans and ,co4's knitting cotton4 ,illustration3 #big4--,peacock's ,tail ,pattern4 ,cast on a number of stitches divisible

the previous row must always be knitted together1 and the decreased stitch of that row slipped4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,netting4 #cjb4--,,netting is one of the prettiest and one of the easiest accomplishments of a lady4 ,the materials are simple1 while the effects produced by good netting are most elegant and of great durability4 ,one great advantage of netting is that each stitch is finished and independent of the next1 so that if an accident happens to one stitch it does not1 as in crochet or knitting1 spoil the whole work4 ,netting1 so easy to do1 is most difficult to describe4 ,the materials required are--a netting-needle and mesh 7see illustration ,no4 #cjb74 ,these are made of bone1 of wood1 of ivory1 and most commonly of steel4 ,the wood1 bone1 and ivory are only used for netting wool1 the steel for silk1 cotton1 c4 ,the needle is filled by passing the end of the thread through the little hole at the left-hand point1 and tying it2 then the thread is wound on the needle as on a tatting shuttle4 ,the needles are numbered from #ab to #bd2 these last are extremely fine4 ,the meshes correspond to the sizes of the needles1 and are made of the same materials4 ,the larger the size of the stitch required the thicker the mesh must be selected2 indeed1 large hat meshes are often used for some patterns4 ,a stirrup to slip over the foot to which the foundation is attached is required by those who do not use a netting cushion1 placed before them on the table and heavily weighted2 to this the foundation is fastened4 ,the stirrup is made of a loop of ribbon1 to which the foundation is tied4 ,some ladies work a pretty stirrup of the exact shape of a horseman's stirrup2 a loop of ribbon is passed through this1 and the foundation fixed as before4 ,illustration #cjb4--,needle and ,mesh4 #cjc4--,to ,net4 ,place the mesh under the thread1 between the thumb and finger of the left hand2 it must rest on the middle of the finger and be held only by the thumb 7see illustration ,no4 #cjc74 ,take the needle in the right hand1 pass the thread over the middle and ring finger and over the mesh1 pass the needle upwards and behind the mesh in the large loop which forms the thread round the fingers1 and at the same time through the first stitch or loop of the foundation4 ,draw the needle out1 retaining the loops on the fingers and dropping them off1 the little finger being the last to release the thread4 ,as the thread tightens and the knot is firm1 the loop on the little finger should be drawn up quickly and smartly4 ,the next stitches are precisely similar1 and row upon row is formed in the same manner4 ,having learnt the stitch1 the next task is to make a foundation4 ,tie a large loop of strong thread on the stirrup ribbon1 and net fifty stitches into this loop1 then net four or five rows1 and the foundation is ready4 ,illustration3 #cjc4--,netting4 ,simple netting as above explained forms diamonds or lozenges4 ,when a piece of netting is finished it is cut off the foundation1 and the little ends of thread that held the stitches are drawn out4 #cjd4--,square ,netting4 ,is done precisely in the same manner as plain netting1 only begin from one stitch1 then net two stitches into this first1 and increase by making two in the last loop of every row4 ,as soon as the right number of stitches is complete diminish exactly in the same way by netting two stitches as one at the end of each row until one stitch alone remains4 ,these squares are used for guipure d'art and for darning on4 #cje4--,round ,netting ,is nearly similar to plain netting4 ,a little difference exists in the way of passing the needle through the stitch2 this is shown in ,no4 #cje4 ,after having passed the needle through the stitch it is drawn out and passed from above into the loop just made4 ,this stitch is very effective for purses4 ,illustration3 #cje4--,round ,netting4 #cjf4--;,diamond ,netting ,is often called pointed netting1 and is made by netting from one stitch1 increasing one stitch at the end of each row1 and decreasing in the same way1 as described at page #cjc4 #cjg4--,to ,net ,rounds4 ,to form a circle1 as for a purse1 the needle must pass through the first stitch1 keeping the last three or four on the mesh and removing this when required by the work4 #cjh4--;,english ,netting ,is made as follows3--,net a row of

point1 and begin from 994 #caj4--,open ,lace4 ,this kind of edging is made with two meshes of different sizes and extremely fine crochet cotton4 ,tie the thread to the foundation1 net #c rows with the

square netting for couvrettes1 d'oyleys1 c4 ,the mesh must be three times as long as that employed for the square netting4 ,make #ab stitches in the first stitch of the edge1 pass over #h1 make #ab in the ninth1 and repeat4 ,then take the mesh used for the square netting1 and net one stitch in each stitch1 take a still smaller mesh1 and complete by adding another row of one stitch in each stitch4

worked in patterns by hand1 which are joined by various stitches forming a groundwork1 also the result of the needle above4 ,pillow lace is entirely worked on the pillow or cushion1 the pattern and ground being produced at the same time4 ,pillow lace is sometimes correctly called bone or bobbin lace1 but it appears that the distinction has never been very nicely observed either by lace-workers or lace-traders1 many sorts which are really pillow lace being called point1 on account of some peculiarity in the stitch or pattern4 ,the requisites for producing lace in perfection are the dexterity and taste of the workers1 and the goodness of the material4 ,to produce many beautiful fabrics a mechanical dexterity alone suffices1 but in lace-making the worker must have some artistic talent1 even when supplied with designs1 for any one can perceive that deviations from the design are easily made1 and that the slightest alteration by a worker wanting in taste will spoil the whole piece of workmanship4 ,the following illustrations are specimens of ancient and modern laces from ,mrs4 ,bury ,palliser's collection3-- ,illustration3 #dai4--;,dalecarlian ,lace4 ,illustration3 #dbj4--,old

three sizes of needles1 scissors and thimble4 ,,tracing ,,cloth is required when ladies copy point lace patterns1 and is the most convenient mode of taking them1 as the design can be worked upon the tracing cloth1 which1 though transparent1 is very strong2 the price is #as4 #f;d4 per yard4 ,fine ,,leather is the material upon which bought patterns are usually traced1 and is decidedly more pleasant to work on than is any other material4 ,in selecting patterns ladies should choose those traced upon green leather in preference to scarlet or buff1 as green is better for the eyesight than any other colour4 ,illustration3 #dbe4--,point ,lace ,scissors4 ,,toile ,,cir,e is only a substitute for leather1 and is not as pleasant to work upon in warm weather4 ,the needles employed are usually

#dca4--,linen ,braid4 ,the ,,braids are of various widths and kinds4 ,none but pure linen braid should be employed2 those with machine-made edgings are eschewed by many lace-workers1 the plain1 loose-woven linen braid of various widths and qualities being alone acceptable to experienced hands4 ,but all ladies do not care to be at the trouble of edging the braid1 and will find ,nos4 #dbf1 #dbh1 #dcj1 and #dca very useful4 ,no4 #dbi is a plain linen braid with a vandyked edge1 which works out very prettily4 ,no4 #dca is an edged braid with open holes1 in imitation of the point lace work of the fifteenth century4 ,point lace cords resemble the satin stitch embroidery in their close1 regular smoothness2 the price is #as4 per hank1 and they are of various thicknesses1 from the size of a coarse crochet thread up to that of a thick piping cord4 ,these cords are used to ornament the braid1 and are closely sewn on the braid1 following its every outline1 and serve as beading to the edging1 being always sewn on the outer edge alone4 ,the finer kinds of this cord are used in place of braid where very light work is needed1 as in the point lace alphabet which forms the frontispiece of this work4 ,directions for laying on the cord when employed as braid are given on page #ejj4 ,when used as a finish only1 and to impart the raised appearance of ,venice and ,spanish lace1 it is fixed on the braid by plain1 close sewing4 ,the thread used should be ,mecklenburg linen thread2 that of ,messrs4 ,walter ,evans and ,co4 we strongly recommend as being of pure linen1 washing and wearing well2 it is pleasant to work with1 from the regularity and evenness of the make4 ,the numbers run thus3--#b1 #d1 #f1 #h1 #aj1 #ab1 #ad1 #af1 #ah1 #bj1 #bd1 #cj1 #cf1 and #dj--;and will be

from left to right1 when not otherwise directed1 as in reverse rows4 ,before cutting off the braid run a few stitches across it to prevent it widening4 ,joins should be avoided1 but when a join is indispensable1 stitch the braid together1 open and turn back the ends1 and stitch each portion down separately4 ,when passing the thread from one part to another1 run along the centre of the braid1 allowing the stitches to show as little as possible4 ,in commencing1 make a few stitches1 leaving the end of the thread on the wrong side and cutting it off afterwards4 ,in fastening off1 make a tight button-hole stitch1 run on three stitches1 bring the needle out at the back1 and cut off4 ,having now completed our list of materials1 we can proceed to lay on the braid4 ,illustration3 #ddb4--,mode of ,placing the ,braid4 ,,to ,,place ,,the ,,braid4--,no4 #ddb shows the design traced upon paper or tracing cloth1 and lightly tacked to a foundation of leather or toile cire4 ,run on a straight line of braid for the lower edge1 with fine stitches1 working as shown from left to right4 ,take another piece of braid1 or the other end of the same piece1 and begin to lay the braid by running stitches in its centre1 keeping it as smooth and even as possible4 ,the outer edge presents no difficulty1 but the inner edge will not lie evenly without being drawn in by a needle and thread1 as follows3--,thread a ,no4 #i needle with ,no4 #ab ,mecklenburg thread about #bj inches long1 fasten the thread to one point1 and insert the needle in and out of the edge of the braid1 as if for fine gathering2 this thread when drawn up will keep the braid in its place4 ,two or three fastening off stitches should be worked when each circle1 half circle1 or rounded curve of a pattern is finished1 as the drawing or gathering thread remains in the work1 and forms an important1 though unseen1 part of its structure4 ,as much of the beauty of point lace depends upon the manner of placing the braid1 ladies cannot bestow too much pains upon this part of the work1 which is a little troublesome to beginners4 ,many fancy shops now undertake this braid-placing for ladies1 who can have their own pattern braided and commenced or braided alone at trifling expense4 ,among these may be mentioned the following houses3--,goubaud1 #cj1 ,henrietta-street1 ,covent-garden4 ,boutillier1 ,oxford-street1

7points71 has of late been applied to every stitch executed with ,mecklenburg thread1 and many stitches are erroneously named by modern writers4 ,as there are more than one hundred stitches employed in this beautiful art1 much study and opportunity of seeing specimens of old point lace is required to give a novice any idea of the various kinds of point lace2 but by attention to the following stitches the rudiments of the art may be easily acquired and very beautiful lace produced4 ,the first stitch is ,,point ,,de ,,bruxelles1 or ,brussels lace stitch4 ,this stitch1 as may be clearly seen in illustration ,no4 #dcc1 is a simple button-hole stitch worked loosely and with great regularity4 ,the whole beauty of ,brussels lace depends upon the evenness of the stitches4 ,this stitch is sometimes employed as an edging1 but is more often worked in rows backwards and forwards1 either as a groundwork or to fill spaces1 as in the point lace collar1 ,no4 #dif4 ,illustration3 #dcc4 ,point

,guipure was a lace made of thin vellum1 covered with gold1 silver1 or silk thread1 and the word ,guipure derives its name from the silk when thus twisted round vellum being called by that name4 ,in process of time the use of vellum was discontinued1 and a cotton material replaced it4 ,guipure lace was called intelle cartisane in ,england in the sixteenth century4 ,various modern laces are called ,guipure1 but the word is misapplied1 since ,guipure lace is that kind only where one thread is twisted round another thread or another substance1 as in the ancient ,guipure d',art4 ,in every design where lace can be introduced1 ,guipure d',art will be found useful4 ,it looks particularly well when mounted upon quilted silk or satin4 ,the squares1 when worked finely1 look well as toilet-cushions1 or1 if worked in coarser thread1 make admirable couvrettes1 and as covers for eider-down silk quilts are very elegant4 ,guipure squares should be connected by guipure lace1 crochet1 or tatting1 or they may be edged with narrow guipure lace and joined at the corners only when placed over coloured silk or satin2 thus arranged1 a sofa-cushion appears in alternate squares of plain and lace-covered silk2 a ruche of ribbon and fall of lace to correspond completes this pretty mounting4 ,not one of the least important attractions of ,guipure d',art is the speed with which it is worked1 and the ease with which fresh patterns are designed by skilful workers4 ,,guipure ,d',,art is an imitation of the celebrated ancient ,guipure ,lace1 and is worked in raised and intersected patterns upon a square network of linen thread1 ,mecklenburg thread of various sizes being used for this purpose4 ,the needles employed are blunt1 and have large eyes1 to admit the linen thread4 ,materials required3 ,one frame of wire covered with silk ribbon2 one square of ,mecklenburg thread net 7fillet71 either coarse or fine2 ,mecklenburg thread2 netting-needles and meshes of various sizes4 ,the netted foundation1 or fillet1 upon which this elegant work is embroidered1 can be made by ladies very easily1 and at much less cost than when bought ready made4 ,the square is worked by netting with coarse ,no4 #b or fine ,no4#aj thread over a mesh measuring three-quarters of an inch or more1 in rows backwards and forwards4 ,begin with #b stitches1 and increase #a at the end of every row till you have one more stitch than is required for the number of holes4 ,thus1 if a square of #bf holes is required1 continue to increase up to #bg stitches1 then decrease #a at the end of every row till #b stitches only remain4 ,the last #b stitches are knotted together without forming a fresh stitch4 ,the completed foundation is laced upon the frame1 taking the lacing cotton through the double edge formed by the increased and decreased stitches4 ,if the four corners of the netting are tied at each corner of the frame before beginning the lacing1 that operation is greatly facilitated4 ,the netting should be laced as tightly as possible1 it being far easier to darn on than when loose4 ,illustration3 #ejc4--;,frame for ,guipure d',art4 ,ladies who wish to excel in working guipure d'art should practise each of the stitches until they attain perfect regularity and quickness in their execution4 ,two or three hours devoted to this in the first instance will not be time wasted1 as the most elaborate pattern will be worked with ease as soon as the stitches are mastered4 ,the ,mecklenburg thread of ,messrs4 ,walter ,evans and ,co41 of ,derby1 will be found a better colour than any other1 as it closely resembles the shade of the ancient guipure lace4 ,it is sold only in spools of #bjj yards each1 and the numbers run as follow2 ,no4 #b1 #d1 #f1 #h1 lo1 #ab1 #af1 #bj2 ,no4 #b being the coarsest1 and

and ,,stars4 ,,point ,d',,esprit is worked with finer cotton than the foundation1 say ,no4 #aj on a foundation of ,no4 #f4 ,it consists of a succession of small loops1 as will be seen clearly in the illustration4 ,the learner should begin from the mark 99 ,no4 #ejc1 and working a row of loops the length required1 turn the frame and work loops on the opposite half of each square intersecting the first worked loops in the centre of each intervening bar of netting4 ,a careful examination of ,nos4 #ejc and #ejf will explain this more clearly than is possible in words4 99 99 99 99 99 ,illustration3 #ejd4--,point d',esprit4 ,,point ,,de ,,toile1 or ,,linen ,,stitch1 is plain darning under and over each thread2 this forms a fine close groundwork1 and is much used in guipure d'art4

which is made upon canvas with wool1 silk1 or beads4 ,the principal stitches used are common cross stitch1 ,gobelin stitch1 leviathan stitch1 raised or velvet stitch1 tent stitch1 and others4 ,the materials and needle must always be carefully chosen of a corresponding size4 ,for common cross stitch and raised stitch ,penelope canvas must be used2 for small articles1 such as slippers1 bags1 or borders1 single ,berlin wool is preferable2 for larger ones fleecy wool or double ,berlin wool 7the latter1 however1 is much more expensive74 ,for ,gobelin stitch and tent stitch undivided canvas 7not ,penelope7 is required4 ,purse silk is often used for the latter2 it is more brilliant than floss silk or filoselle4 ,floss silk is generally used for other stitches because it covers the thread of the canvas better than purse silk2 it is1 however1 often replaced by filoselle1 which is a much cheaper material4 ,moss wool is hardly ever used4 ,before beginning to work upon a piece of canvas the raw edges must be hemmed or sewn over with wool4 ,care must be taken not to crumple the canvas in the course of the work4 ,it is best to roll one end of the canvas upon a round piece of deal while the other end is kept down upon the table with a lead cushion4 ,handsome artistic patterns should always be worked in a frame4 ,when you undertake to work a large pattern begin in the centre1 and complete one half before you commence the other4 ,always work the stitches in the same direction1 from the top downwards--this is very essential to the beauty and regularity of the pattern4 ,always begin with the colour which is used the oftenest2 those colours that lose their dye in working must be put in last4 ,when the pattern is finished begin the grounding4 ,the wool must not be drawn too tightly1 otherwise the threads of the canvas appear4 ,if the wool is too coarse for the canvas1 one long stitch is to be made from left to right as far as the particular colour is to be worked1 and over this long stitch1 cross back in the usual way4 ,the plainest stitch in ,berlin wool work is the common cross stitch2 illustrations #egg to #ehd show varieties of the same4 ,we now proceed in the following
