Stunning BOBBIN LACE-Techniques-History-Tools-Materials

 

~ BOBBIN LACE ~
An Illustrated Guide to Traditional and Contemporary Techniques
by Brigita Fuhrmann

This American book from 1985 is a slightly abridged republication of Bobbin Lace: A Contemporary Approach from 1976 and is a modern, step-by-step approach to the craft of bobbin lacemaking. The author shows you how to create every kind of bobbin lace - from the simplest stitch to the most challenging pattern and, in addition, traces the history of bobbin lacemaking in Western and Eastern Europe (including Russia) and relates the two distinct types to contemporary trends. There is expert advice on the tool needed - pillows, bobbins, pins, and threads - and easy-to-follow instructions for a variety of exquisite stitches. Clear, accurate diagrams accompany stitch directions, beginning with the braid and Brussels ground and ending with the maiden's net and spiders. Learn how to make stunning straight lace and tape lace; construct fans, corners, edgings; draft patterns; finish your creations, and care for your lace.
