An excerpt:

"The following ideas have been gathered from the best makers of women's apparel both here and abroad; they are taken from work which is being done in constantly increasing amount and are not the mere speculation of what the wheels or medallions might be used for. A medallion made of fine wool is one of the garnishes for dresses and coats that promises to become extremely popular.

A beautiful effect is obtained by doing the knotting in silk. A ground work laid in white silk and the pattern woven in black; this especially in the close woven patterns, makes a rich ornament for garments of black silken material, and enables one to possess an exclusive trimming which cannot be purchased ready for use.

Rosettes made of closely twisted silk woven in the more solid designs form a beautiful trimming for evening waists. Irregular outlines may be produced by leaving out some of the threads in laying the ground, as suggested in some of the designs. Borders are made of lace wheels for cushion tops, doilies, scarfs, centre pieces, tray covers, bureau scarfs, curtains, etc.

For a Baby's Cap. Baste the wheels on a muslin pattern, and after joining them remove the pattern and sew the crown into the straight front. Finish off the edges with lace. Rows of small wheels make a beautiful insertion for underwear; and wheels of various sizes are readily adapted to all garments requiring a trimming of lace. "

It contains instructions for making the motifs shown in the listing collage that were so popular in the late 1800's to early 1900's era. The degree of needlework difficultly ranges from beginner to expert levels and it guides you from first attempt to designing your own patterns!

 This is certainly a wonderful source of historically valuable designs and instructions which are sure to inspire the creative lace artist in you! This is the perfect opportunity to purchase your own version of another wonderful craft instructional revealing our heritage from early America and European cultures!

It also opens up suggestions for the use of the work in applied garnishes and trimmings not attempted heretofore in home work.
