A French-language instruction manual on torchon bobbin lace from the DMC Library (Bibliothèque D·M·C), First Series, issued by Thérèse de Dillmont. It covers tools (pillow, bobbins, winder, pricking patterns, pins), basic stitches and thread manipulations, then gives step-by-step directions for grounds and stitches such as point de filet, point de toile, point torchon, point de Dieppe, point à la vierge and point d'esprit. Numbered sections describe insertions (entre-deux), edgings, borders and braids with thread recommendations, followed by photographic plates, pricking patterns (patrons) and a list of other DMC publications.
