Issue No. 16 of the Needlecraft journal, published by the Manchester School of Embroidery, is the second point lace series. It introduces point (Renaissance) lace made by filling braid designs with needle stitches, covering materials, braids, linen thread rings, and how to tack, join, finish, and tint the work. It illustrates about 60 numbered stitches (Point de Bruxelles, Point de Venise, Point Turque, Sorrento, spider and ladder stitches, picots, and buttonhole bars). It also gives some 20 lace designs with working notes: handkerchief, fan, table covers, sleeve, collars, tie ends, insertions, and Honiton butterflies. The last pages carry period advertisements.
