A 1900 Harper's Bazar article by Lillian M. Siegfried promoting hand-made needle lace as an art and a prospective American industry. It explains basting braid onto a parchment pattern, the basic web, twist and cobweb stitches, and the use of Honiton, point and guipure braids with fine linen thread. Illustrated designs include a Honiton bolero, collars, Renaissance and Battenberg butterflies, and a guipure scarf. It also covers household uses such as bed covers, curtains and tea cloths, and comments on pillow laces and European lace schools.
