Bruges lace, for example, uses less than a dozen pairs of bobbins and a relatively coarse thread to create curved braids and flower-like motifs which are linked to form the fabric; on the other hand point ground laces, such as Chantilly or Bucks Point, are worked from one end to the other in fine silk or cotton and may need a hundred pairs or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is by far the best teaching guide for this craft.

It is attractively presented and gives an introduction to the tools used, instruction in basic stitches and several small items for the beginner. In addition to the basic stitches, there is instruction in preparing a pricking, tying in new threads and finishing off, and the final section includes some quite complicated projects. One criticism: the instructions are easy to follow, the photographs show threads in two shades of grey on a dark blue background. I think two brightly coloured, contrasting threads would be much easier for the beginner, who may progress to something more elegant later. This is a very practical book, and as it progresses from very simple to fairly difficult, I think it would keep one busy for some time!\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSylvia Quixley, Penzance\u003c\/p\u003e * West Country Embroiderers *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eOct 07\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eI have always been mystified by the lacemaking process, but this book explains the methods so clearly that I feel I could possibly attempt a small sample. I was interested to find out that there are only two moves, twist and cross and only two pairs of bobbins in use at a time. Materials and techniques are well explained with good illustrations and photographs before the projects begin. The samples and finished products illustrated are quite beautiful, with a lively colour range which I would not normally associate with this ancient tradition. This book would be very useful to both beginners and more acomplished lacemakers.\u003c\/p\u003e * Merseyside Embroiderers Guild *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eApril 09\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eI'm rather impressed with a new book by Gillian Dye and Adrienne Thunder, \"Beginner's Guide to Bobbin Lace\"... It also has a lot of pretty and clear pictures showing stitches and closeups of projects in progress. It's a great book for learning BL on your own, although it may be a bit too basic for use with a teacher. I made sure that the local library (where I work) bought this book, about six months ago, and have been pleased to note that it has been almost continuously on issue since then! I know of one borrower who\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eisn't able to attend classes in the city (three-quarters of an hour away) who has taught herself, mainly from this book. Last week, we had a lace workshop day in the city, where we worked on various Torchon bookmark designs. I can't remember ever having started a bookmark at a point, but my copy of the \"Beginner's Guide\" had just what I needed for me to be able to start to work my bookmark at home, before the workshop - clear, large, coloured photographs. I took the book to the workshop, and it was much in demand for expert lacemakers who had forgotten (because of no recent need to use the technique), a very basic process!-Erica McLeod, in NZ\u003c\/p\u003e * Customer *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eMay 08\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eA very competitively priced book of 80 pages, printed on high quality glossy paper throughout, it contains full colour photos and close-up step-by-step black and white photos of six bookmarks, along with five further designs entitled Four Seasons.

The prickings are also available in the back of the book along with details of the necessary enlargements when photocopying.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe book is as it says a beginner's guide and starts with an introduction to lacemaking along with a guide to the necessary materials.

A plait is then worked with excellent photographs of each bobbin movement; however, the completed plait (worked in cotton perlé) is far from exciting. A series of bookmarks follows, introducing a variety of stitches and techniques, also worked in cotton perlé – all with excellent instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe second section, however, is the most inspiring part of the book.

How old is it? Has it been made by hand or machine? What would it have been used for? These are the types of questions that this practical guide sets out to answer. Lavishly illustrated, it shows you how to identify the sort of lace that you might find hiding away in drawers and cupboards, or buy at a vintage textile fair. It deals predominantly with the hand-made and machine laces of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.  Topics covered include: an introductory survey of the different types of lace, their history and construction; guidelines for a systematic approach to lace identification and advice on cleaning and storage; chapters on the different types of lace: bobbin lace, needlelace, craft laces such as crochet and tatting, machine lace and lace based on tapes and nets. There are exercises on distinguishing similar pieces of lace made using different techniques and there are illustrations of how lace has been used and of some of the tools used in the making. Written by experienced lacemakers, Gilian Dye and Jean Leader, it presents items from their own collections to illuminate and inspire others who wish to know more about this fascinating textile. Lace Identification is a complete guide to the beauty of this stitch craft, and will richly reward all those who study the treasures they may own.","brand":"The Crowood Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49412151607639,"sku":"9781785008665","price":21.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781785008665.jpg?v=1730515827"},{"product_id":"historische-spitzen-die-leopold-ilke-sammlung-im-textilmuseum-st-gallen-9783897905337","title":"Historische Spitzen: Die Leopold-Ilke-Sammlung im","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eLace was a passion of Leopold Iklé (1838-1922), scion of a Hamburg textile dynasty who successfully produced machine-made embroidery over the course of the industrial boom in St. Gallen around 1900. He exported to England, France and the United States, among other places, at a time when St. Gallen was the market leader in the lace industry. Iklé's collection of handmade European bobbin lace and needlepoint from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century originally served as inspiration for his firm's textile designers. Through his passion for collecting, however, it quickly surpassed the practical demands of a simple pattern collection, and in 1904 he donated it to the Textile Museum St. Gallen. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eHistorische Spitzen\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e provides a comprehensive review as well as highlights of the lace samples in this unique collection.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eText in German.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arnoldsche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49424141713751,"sku":"9783897905337","price":43.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783897905337.jpg?v=1730553775"},{"product_id":"torchon-lacemaking-a-step-by-step-guide-9781847972019","title":"Torchon Lacemaking: A step-by-step guide","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTorchon lacemaking is a textile art steeped in tradition - the skills required are often perceived to be beyond the reach of ordinary mortals.
