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... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Weronika Patena" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, September 14, 2004 6:42 PM Subject: [lace] another book question > Does anyone have any comments on "The Technique of Tape Lace" > by Ineke Van Den Kieboom and Anny Huijben? > > Weronika > > -- > Weronika Patena > Caltech, Pasadena, CA, USA > http://vole.stanford.edu/weronika > > - > To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: > unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
