A 1993 Batsford instruction book on bobbin lace by Susanne Thompson, continuing from her earlier Honiton lace book. It opens with a glossary of working methods (back stitch, bowing off, coarse pair, turning stitch, magic thread, etc.) and then gives six step-by-step patterns: Leaf Spray, Rosette, Summer Scene, Cone Flower, Treble Clef and Umbellifer. Each pattern has numbered line diagrams, prickings and detailed instructions for taps, rolls, ribs, side veins, leadwork and fillings. It ends with a bibliography, a list of suppliers in England and an index.
