This work contains a progressive series of patterns to work through, starting with clear geometric shapes which gain in complexity until the reader can master the most lavish of the traditional designs.
A classic introduction to bobbin lace making with sections on Torchon, Bedfordshire, and Bucks point. Each section starts with a beginners pattern and progresses through to more advanced. I have had my copy for over 20 years and still use it for reference.
This is one of the best beginner books for learning the art of making bobbin lace. The illustrations are clean and clear and the directions are simply written.
