LACE 31 Some laces, points and guipures are not worked upon aground ; the flowers are connected by irregular threadsovercast (buttonhole stitch), and sometimes worked overwith pearl loops (picot). Such are the points of Venice andSpain and most of the guipures.

Fig. Passement au Fuseau.—(Yiiiciolo, Edition 1623.) Merletti a Piombim.—(Paiasole, 1616.) and then either worked in or sewn on (applique), as inBrussels. The open-work stitches introduced into the pattern arecalled modes, jours ; by our Devonshire workers, fillings. All lace is terminated by two edges, the pearl, picot,^^ orcouronne—a row of little points at equal distances, and thefooting or engrelure—a narrow lace, which serves to keep thestitches of the ground firm, and to sew the lace to thegarment upon which it is to be worn. * storehouse of Armory and ^ Brides—petits tissiis de fil quiservent a joindre les fleurs les unesavec les autres dans Iespece de dentellequon appelle Point de France, de Venise, de Malines.—Diet de VAca-demic. ^^ Une robe et tablier, garnis dunedentelle dAngleterre a picot.— deces de la Ducliesse de Bourhon,Arch.
