, whereas later books like Catherine Barleyâs 1993 and Pat Earnshawâs Needlelace, Merehurst Embroidery Skills book, 1992, relied more heavily, even in contemporary work, on the buttonhole stitch, be it corded, twisted, or multiply twisted. Devon - Surely ALL needlelace is worked by the execution of the simple buttonhole stitch. if not, what other stich is used to work examples of Ros Hills, Contemporary needlelace, Bath's needlelace, or antique laces such as Point de Gaze, Hollie Point, Burano, Halas, Alencon, Youghal, Boris etc - they are all made with variations of either grouping, twisting, voiding etc on a simple Buttonhole stitch! Which stitch did Ros Hills, Jill Nordfors Clark and Virginia Churchill Bath use if wasn't the simple Buttonhole stitch I wonder?
