Helen Louise Allen describes Tarascan Indian lace weaving she saw in Aranza, Michoacan, Mexico, and how she taught herself the technique at home in Wisconsin. She gives instructions for the single stitch and double stitch, which are picked up with a stick on a two-heddled loom, and for combining them into patterns. She also covers the scalloped edge that results when lace bands are used with plain weave bands, and three ways to avoid it. Illustrations show the gauze weave and the lace stitch sequences.
