Re: [lace] another book question

[Lorri Ferguson]

Weronida,
I have the book and while I haven't made anything from it yet, I think it is 
very complete in the directions on Battenburg and some others.  The first 
20+ pages give a look at different tape laces; Princess Lace, Point de 
Milan,Mezzo Punto, Application (on net) lace, Point de Bruxelles 
(Battenburg), Luxeuil, Youghal, Branscombe Lace, Renada Irlandesa from 
Brazil, and Recife.
    The text is in 3 languages: English, German, French, I believe.  There 
is a lot of detail about the tapes used, creating the cartoon/pattern, 
basting the tapes into place and the shaping techniques used, sewing the 
intersections, and the filling stitches.  There is 8 pages on Romanian Point 
(Crocheted tape) lace and 12 on Princes lace (application on net).  The last 
section is 140 filling stitches with detailed pictures of the thread paths.
    My copy is a Batsford edition first published in 1994.  The forward 
states the authors had another book "Naaldkant (Needlepoint Lace): 
needlework is a wonderful pastime" published in 1988.

I hope this answers your questions.

Lorri
who has many books that I haven't made any patterns out of yet -but some day 
I hope to...
