A practical instruction manual in Honiton bobbin lace making, presented as the second and enlarged edition of 'Honiton Lace-making' by 'Devonia' and published by The Bazaar office in London. Thirty chapters take the learner from winding bobbins, whole stitch, plain edge, knots, gimp, stems and sewings through lace stitch, pearl edges, raised work, plaitings and grounds, to complete patterns such as the wild rose edging, daisy collarette, ivy leaf, lily lappet, camellia, fern, convolvulus, poppy and butterfly designs. Later chapters cover needle grounds (star, Dame Joan), lace in relief, Antwerp diamonds, wheels, and setting up Devonia lace. It is illustrated with photographs of finished lace motifs and has an index and publisher's advertisements.
