No. 485--_Point Lace Border for Handkerchief._

Materials: Fine lace braid or cord; Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s
Mecklenburg thread No. 24.

This border is suited for a handkerchief or for trimming a square
bodice. The braid is not tacked on by stitches running through the
centre, as is usual in point lace braids, but sewn on by passing a
thread from underneath over the braid and out through the same hole, as
is done by lace-workers with a thick thread; this forms the design. The
stitches employed in this pattern are Raleigh bars, which connect the
work; Sorrento edging, which finishes the whole outline; English
rosettes filling the open spaces. Point lace cord may be used for this
in place of braid.
