Hi Bev, I think punto mimosa is what you call in English tenstick. That is, you work with only 3-5 pairs, and only put a pin on the head side. On the foot side you make a turning stitch.
This stitch is used to fill pieces of ground, for example. It consists of narrow looping lines. You have to use the hook to join one piece to another when they cross. It forms part of many Italian laces, especially Cantú and that sort of lace.
