Italian Drawn Work and Antique Filet Lace
Book · 15 pages
Variety Book No. 3 from Carmela Testa Co. (Boston, 1922) gives instructions for Italian drawn-thread stitches and filet lace. It covers serpentine hemstitching, overcast and darning-covered bars, bouillon-stitch serpentine designs, Punto Quadro, and a double square stitch luncheon set. It also gives directions for knotted lace edges (small points, large points, long loops, clusters), coarse filet lace, and Sardinian filet lace with a lettered doily and table cover. Photographs with lettered figure references illustrate the stitches, and several pages show finished tidies, runners, and filet designs with mesh counts.
