Cordonnet before taking thelace off the Toile Cire. Work the thick raised Cordonnetwhen the piece is attached to the one nearest it in the the crescent in the centre: Wind soft Moravian cottonround a pencil, and when the pad thus made is thick enoughslip it off, and catch it lightly together; lay it down in itsplace, and Buttonhole it thickly over, and then trim it withSpines. Work two Buttonhole Bars in the centre ofit, and trim with Spines; work these at the back of thecrescent after it is taken off the Toile Cire, and before it isplaced in its right position. The other separate parts ofthe pattern are worked in a similar manner to those alreadydescribed. For the raised Cordonnets surrounding eachflat part proceed as For the narrow and onlyslightly raised lines, run soft Moravian thread along theiroutlines and in their centre, and then Buttonhole thisthread carefully over; for the highly raised parts, make apad of Moravian thread, as shown in Fig. 738.

These are made of loops resembling Couronnesand Spines, and are known as Fleurs Volants or Pin-works.
