Practical Directions For Lacemakers Pattern Making & Lace Cleaning
Gives a few practical directions with regard to the copying, adjustment and transposition of the patterns, as well as to the different processes, often so essential to the ultimate success of a piece of needlework.
For this success will soon be found not to depend on the stitches only but very largely on the proper adaptation of the design to the space it is intended to fill.
Then, in the case of new lace, it is necessary to know the amount of dressing it will require to give it the right stiffness and when this dressing has worn off how to renew it; whilst in the case of appliqué work more especially, it is indispensable to know exactly what the ingredients are, of which the paste should be composed and how to make and lay it on in the proper manner.
