Torchon Lace-making: Patterns & Designs

Real torchon lace is made of linen threads by hand on a pillow, and is the most durable and effective lace possible for trimming ladies' and children's under-linen, toilet-covers, bags and other fancy articles. The coarse lace made in colored flax threads, which is so much used for trimming linen dresses, is made in the same way.

The art is not difficult to acquire; and when the stitches have been learned, and the general principles of the work understood, the worker can copy any of the numerous pretty patterns to be seen everywhere. With a little experience, she should also be able to design new patterns for herself.

The Part I of this book is to give instruction in the essentials of torchon lace making; and the patterns worked out are designed to afford progressive lessons, involving nearly all the ordinary stitches met with in this kind of lace.

The Part II of the book is to give more advanced instruction, and to teach the various fancy stitches found in different kinds of lace.

Please note: This excellent PDF Reprint is a high-quality, electronic facsimile version of the actual book published in 1900s.
