A 1909 handbook for teaching bobbin lace-making (Torchon) to children and other pupils, by M. E. W. Milroy. It opens with a preface and hints for the teacher on materials and costs, making prickings with a hektograph, and running a class. Six progressive patterns follow, each with a step-by-step numbered stitch sequence by pairs of bobbins and pin holes, plus pricking diagrams (Plates I-VII) and photographs of the six finished laces.
