1.--FLEMISH LACE STITCH.--Commence at the right side, and work as follows: _First row._--Work 2 button-hole stitches close together, miss the space of 2, work 2, miss the space of 8; this will leave a large loop and a small one alternately. _Second row._--Make 8 button-hole stitches in the larger loops and 2 in the small ones. _Third row._--Repeat the first row, making 2 stitches in each loop of the second row. [Illustration: No. 11.--Flemish Lace Stitch.] NO. 12.--POINT DE FILLET, OR NET GROUNDWORK STITCH.--This stitch is also represented at No. 21, on page 13, but the method of making the knot is here illustrated. It is used for ground-work where Brussels net is not imitated, and is very effective wherever it is used. It is begun in the corner or crosswise of the space to be filled. A loose point de Bruxelles stitch is first taken and fastened to the braid, then passed twice through the braid as shown in the illustration, and worked in rows backward and forward as follows: 1 point de Bruxelles stitch, then before proceeding to the next stitch, pass the needle _under_ the knot, _over_ the thread, and again _under_ it, as shown in the illustration. This stitch is very quickly worked. [Illustration: No. 12. Point de Fillet (Net Groundwork Stitch).] NO. 13.--POINT DE REPRISE.--This stitch is worked by darning over and under two threads forming a triangle. The space is filled by parallel and crosswise bars placed at equal distances, and on the triangles thus produced point de reprise is worked. [Illustration: No. 13.--Point de Reprise.] NO. 14.--POINT TURQUE, OR TURKISH POINT.--This easy and effective stitch is very appropriate for filling either large or small spaces; the thread employed should be varied in thickness according to the size of the space to be filled. _First row._--Work a loop into the braid, bringing the thread from right to left, passing the needle through the twist and through the loop (see engraving), draw up tight and repeat. _Second row._--1 straight thread from right to left. _Third row._--Work the same as first, using the straight thread in place of the braid, and passing the needle through the loop of the previous row, as shown in the illustration. [Illustration: No. 14.--Point Turque (Turkish Stitch).] NO. 15.--TREBLE POINT D'ESPAGNE.--This stitch is worked in exactly the same way as the open and close varieties just mentioned, as follows: 3 close stitches, 1 open, 3
