SM3654 Filet Lace Stitches & Patterns		QTY:
	** This is a heavy book, please click here to see note regarding additional postage. By Margaret Morgan - Filet lace is one of the oldest forms of lace making. Its origins in ancient times seem to lie in the refinement of the plain netting used for fishing nets to create a fabric for making hairnets and dresses which could be embellished with embroidery in gold and silken threads. Filet lace has persisted through the centuries under a number of names, being embroidered in a wide variety of stitches and often displaying regional variations. The recent resurgence of interest in filet lace has highlighted the need for a book that explains its techniques to beginners, although experienced lace makers will also gain a great deal from this book. Section 1 explains, in ten detailed, step-by-step lessons with sampler projects to be worked, the basic stitches required, and their variations. Section 2 provides patterns and instructions for 14 projects with modern filet lace designs, while section 3 reproduces in modern from nine patterns from very old sources. Because these patterns are graphs, they could be used for crochet. Black and white photos, 168 pages. Click here to view index of this book
