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.

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.

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.

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.

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
