An instruction booklet on making Torchon bobbin (pillow) lace, issued as the First Series of Weldon's Practical Needlework. It covers the pillow, bobbins, pins and thread, how to hang the bobbins and handle the threads, then the basic stitches (half stitch, cloth stitch, Torchon stitch, twisted Torchon, double rose stitch, wheels, bars). Graduated patterns follow, including insertions, simple laces, lace for children's clothes and lace and insertion for a bedspread, each with a photograph and a pricked-pattern diagram showing pin holes. It ends with advice on finishing and pressing the lace.
