eens are used in two ways, either suspended from the
mantelpiece or mounted as shown in illustration No. 573. The banner is
23 inches long, 19 inches wide, lined with coloured glace silk, and
edged with a lace border of guipure d'art. The design for the banner is
given in page 554. Work the netting for the groundwork over a larger or
smaller mesh, according to the size you wish it to be. The pattern is
worked in point d'esprit, point de reprise, and point de toile. When the
pattern is completed, line the banner with coloured silk, edge with a
gathered border of guipure d'art, finish with coloured silk cords and
tassels. The banner may be finished off in close button-hole stitch,
instead of adding the lace border.
