A 1905 second-edition instruction manual by Louisa A. Tebbs on Punto Tagliato, a cutwork lace embroidery in which fancy filling stitches are worked in floss silk on linen, silk or velvet, then the fabric is cut away behind them to leave lace-like openwork. Part I is a practical first lesson on working a collar, with hints on needles, finishing cut edges, pressing and cutting out. Part II describes individual filling stitches (Tudor Rose, Crossbar, Diamond Filling, Point de Fillet, Spider's Web, Woven Bars, Cone Insertion, Turkish Point, Marguerite, Star Filling) with line diagrams. Photographic plates show finished collars, a blouse yoke and cuffs, cushion covers, table centres, tea cloths and a bedspread square.
