A lace guide for makers and collectors; with a bibliography and five-language nomenclature, profusely illuswith halftone plates and key designs . ductor runs back and forth from left to right, and then from right to left hori-zontally through the pendant pairs: but the opened and closed squares themselvesare placed obliquely; that is, their sides or margins are on the diagonal. Thesolid and open parts are made by linen-stitching: but in the open parts both theworker and the pairs it traverses are twisted twice. In starting an open grill,there is first one open square, the next time three grilled squares, then five, nextseven. Then one decreases similarly. There is thus one hole at each side, leftand right; one at the top and bottom center and seven holes across through themiddle whether counted vertically or horizontally. In this connection it may be interesting to refer to Line D, Column 14 andLine H, Column 16. ?= 106 A LACE GUIDE FOR MAKERS AND COLLECTORS -a LINE B, COL. 13,Point de Tresse with Plain Picots in Lower Joints. :jtT;:;..u;:5:?ir;:.: •:«i-:v. • -*j;::<» ! • ; ~ _ - ;; i .2:!:. This sample requires twenty pairs, four to each braid. The picot just below the lower joining of each two braids, is made withthe left-hand thread in the same manner as usual. The threads should betwisted before they are crossed, as crossing would push the picot up the sideof the braid. The braids then intersect each other with a linen-stitch.
