To achieve this the practice was adopted of adding threads to form the toile. These would be carried over at the back of the work, like those of the mesh ground in Brussels bobbin lace, while the work was in progress, and the redundant threads cut away after the lace was finished. - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
