A French course in lessons on embroidery and lace by Marguerite Charles and Laurent Pagès, presented here in a selected, lace-only edition compiled by Tess Parrish (2003) from both volumes. It covers the origins and history of lace, needle laces (point de Venise, point de France, Alençon, Argentan, Sedan, point gaze), filet and lacis, and bobbin lace, including materials, lace pillows, pricking patterns and stitch explanations. Later lessons treat embroidered laces on tulle, Renaissance and Irish crochet lace, knitting, macramé, Chantilly, blonde, Valenciennes, Flemish guipures, point d'Angleterre, Russian and other regional laces, mechanical tulle and lace, and how to identify laces. It is illustrated with many photographs and diagrams of laces and stitches.
