NO. 21.--POINT DE FILLET AND POINT DE REPRISE.--The net-work seen in
this engraving is the first stitch mentioned, while the block-work is
the second. Both are clearly illustrated and need no written explanation
of the methods employed in making them.

NO. 22.--POINT DE TULLE.--This stitch is used as a ground-work for very
fine work, and is worked in rows backward and forward in the same
stitch as open point d' Espagne. When this is completed the work is gone
over a second time by inserting the needle under one twisted bar,
bringing it out and inserting it at + and bringing it out again at the
dot. This produces a close double twist which is very effective.

NO. 23. FAN LACE STITCH.--Commence at the right side, and work as
follows:
_First row._--Make 1 button-hole stitch and miss the space of 8, which
will leave a long loop.
_Second row._--Make 8 button-hole stitches in each loop.
_Third row._--Make 7 stitches into the spaces between the 8, and so
decrease one in every row until only one remains, as may be seen by
referring to the illustration.

NO. 24.--ROSE POINT LACE STITCH.--Make a foundation of single threads,
crossing them to form the large squares. Work a button-hole stitch at
each crossing to make it firm. Now begin at the top, at the right side
and fill the first square with Brussels net stitches, finishing at the
lower left corner. Fill every alternate square in the same way as seen
in the picture.
Now cross the open squares diagonally with two threads, twisting each
thread around the adjoining one as represented. (Carry one thread across
all the squares from corner to corner first, then twist back, fastening
at the corner started from; cross these threads in the same way from the
opposite direction). When twisting the thread back from the last set of
crossings, make a rosette at each center crossing as follows: Keep the
space open with a pin and trace round it with a darning movement five or
six times; commence at the single thread and work a close button-hole
stitch over the tracing entirely around, and then twist along the single
thread to the center of the next square. This is a very effective design
for spaces.
