Bedfordshire lace became popular in the fashions of the second half of the nineteenth century because of the beauty of its bold-open designs, often with elegant floral motifs, and it continues to fascinate and captivate lace makers today. Information is given about the equipment needed for bobbin lacemaking, how to make a pricking (the pattern on which the lace is made), and how to wind thread on the bobbins. This practical book is dedicated to the novice and experienced lace maker wishing to learn these techniques so as to realize this elegance for themselves.
There is a series of twenty-six patterns, some traditional and others designed more recently. Instruction explains how to work cloth stitch and half stitch, plaits, windmill crossings, picots and leaf-shaped tallies, and how to finish a piece of lace. These are supported by instructions, photographs and diagrams.
