Issue of the Bulletin of the Needle and Bobbin Club (1938) dominated by George Middleton's illustrated article on machine-made imitations of hand-made lace. It surveys the machines involved (bobbinet-Jacquard, Levers, Barmen, schiffli embroidery) and presents 31 numbered plates comparing hand-made laces with machine copies, including Chantilly, Valenciennes, Binche, Venetian points and Irish crochet. The issue also has book notices (Lamm on cotton in medieval Near Eastern textiles, Harbeson's American Needlework, Lou Tate's Kentucky Coverlets) and Club Notes on 1938-1939 exhibitions and lectures.
