An
excerpt:
"Discrimination and taste are both requisite, the
former to insure that in filling in any certain space the stitches are selected
with an eye to their suitability for such space, both as regards their pattern
and strength ; taste is necessary to produce the dainty lace effects which are
characteristic of this work, for this the stitches must be chosen with a view to
their suitability to the form and position of the space to be filled. It is
impossible to give any exact rule as to when to use any certain stitch., this
must be left entirely to the preference of the worker, as it
is quite possible for two pieces of work of the same design to
so have the stitches arranged in the spaces that the finished works
are entirely different in effect and appearance, and yet both may be equally charming and
original."
