A three-page 1888 magazine article from The New England Fireside on guipure d'art, a form of lace made by darning and embroidering patterns on a netted square foundation (fillet). It lists materials, explains how to net and lace the foundation on a wire frame, and describes the principal stitches: Point d'Esprit, Point de Toile, Point de Feston, Point de Reprise, Point de Bruxelles, and wheels. Stitch diagrams and finished designs are included: a border for cushions or pillow shams, insertions, corner pieces, and two square patterns.
