Bedfordshire lace became popular in the fashions of the second half
of the nineteenth century because of the beauty of its bold-open
designs, often with elegant floral motifs, and it continues to
fascinate and captivate lacemakers today. This practical book is
dedicated to the novice and experienced lacemaker wishing to learn
these techniques so as to realize this elegance for themselves.
Information is given about the equipment needed for bobbin
lacemaking, how to make a pricking (the pattern on which the lace
is made), and how to wind thread on the bobbins. Instruction
explains how to work cloth stitch and half stitch, plaits, windmill
crossings, picots and leaf-shaped tallies, and how to finish a
piece of lace. There is a series of twenty-six patterns, some
traditional and others designed more recently. These are supported
by instructions, photographs and diagrams. The patterns include
small motifs, edgings - some with corners for handkerchiefs -
butterflies and, finally, three exquisite collars.
