A beginner's manual on making Coggeshall tambour lace, a net lace worked entirely with a tambour hook in chain stitch. It covers the history of the lace in Coggeshall, Essex, from the early 19th century, then materials (cotton net, threads, hooks, frames), mounting the net, and step-by-step tambouring movements. Later sections cover zig-zag, drawback and knot stitches, design and transferring patterns to net, a series of diagrammed decorative filling stitches, and ideas for projects. Includes photographs of finished pieces and updated notes added in 1984 and for the 1988 revised edition.
