An article from the Bulletin of the Needle and Bobbin Club, translated from the French of Mme. Lucie Paulis by Gertrude Whiting, on Belgian bobbin lace-makers and their equipment. It describes the square stationary pillow and its stand, the revolving round pillow used for Duchesse and other free-hand laces, the bobbins, winders, pins and pricked patterns. It also covers children's apprenticeship, the division of labor among designer, pricker and sampler, the decline in thread quality, and the lace-makers' work before and after the World War. Illustrated with photographs and drawings of pillows, bobbins, a pricking, Binche lace, fond armure mesh and Brussels point de gaze needlepoint medallions.
