A 1912 instruction book by Nellie Clarke Brown on making Battenberg and point lace from linen braid. It covers materials, basting and overcasting braid, preparing a sampler, and then a long catalog of needle-lace filling stitches: bars, wheels (spiders), insertions, and net stitches. The stitches include Point de Venise, Spanish Point, Brussels net, Point d'Angleterre, Valenciennes, and Sorrento, along with combination stitches and picots. It ends with notes on net or appliqué lace and on washing lace. Numbered line-drawing figures illustrate nearly every stitch.
