A 1914 instruction book from the Priscilla Publishing Company, edited by Belle Robinson, on hand netting and Filet Brodé (embroidered netting). It explains the equipment (mesh-sticks, netting needles, frames), square, circular, diagonal and battlemented netting, and the darning stitches used to ornament the net: Point de toile, Point de reprise, Point d'esprit, Point de feston and Point de poste. Numbered projects (Nos. 600-631) include centrepieces, doilies, scarves, cushion covers, a table cover, altar cloth lace, an alb border, collars, a yoke, edgings and insertions, each with materials and row-by-row directions. The second half has many charts of filet patterns, corner motifs and alphabets. Advertisements for other Priscilla books and the magazine appear at the front and back.
