Lace is an openwork fabric, patterned with open holes in the work, made by machine or by hand. The holes can be formed via removal of threads or cloth from a previously woven fabric, but more often open spaces are created as part of the lace fabric.
Lace-making is an ancient craft. True lace was not made until the late 15th and early 16th centuries. A true lace is created when a thread is looped, twisted or braided to other threads independently from a backing fabric.
Today, lacemakers still use the same equipment as their predecessors used. These documents detail the techniques and provide a number of patterns for the lacemaker to follow.
With lots of information in 4 information-packed PDF files, this will be a superb addition to the lacemakers or lace collectors digital library.

LACIS INSTRUCTIONS IN FILET BRODE OR DARNING ON NET
Â
Darning is a sewing technique for repairing holes or worn areas in fabric or knitting with needle and thread alone. It is often done by hand, but it is also possible to darn with a sewing machine.
Hand darning employs the darning stitch, a simple running stitch in which the thread is "woven" in rows along the grain of the fabric, with the stitcher reversing direction at the end of each row.
Darning is a traditional method for repairing fabric damage that does not run along a seam and where patching would create undue stress for the wearer, such as the heel of a sock.
Darning also refers to any of several needlework techniques worked in darning stitches: Net darning, also called filet lace, is a 19th century technique using stitching on a mesh foundation fabric to imitate lace.

THE ART OF NETTING LACE WITH MANY PATTERNS-INSTRUCTIONS
Â
Netting is a handicraft, so ancient that it would be difficult to trace it to its origin, or determine the date of its invention.
There is evidence to show that the making of nets for fishing and game catching was as familiar to the earlier races of mankind as it is to us.
Practised in the first instance for the wants of life, it by degrees developed into an art, in conjunction with embroidery, to which it was made to serve as a foundation.
The netting of every country, almost, has a distinctive character of its own: that of Persia is known by its fine silken meshes and rich gold and silver embroidery; that of Italy, by the varied size and shape of its meshes and a resemblance in the style of its embroidery to the Punto tagliato; whilst the netting of France, known by the name of Cluny guipure, consists of a groundwork of fine meshes with stiff close designs embroidered upon it, outlined in coarse glazed thread.
Netting, which divides itself under two headings, netting proper, or plain netting and net embroidery, has never yet gone out of fashion and places are still to be found where the entire population is engaged in this industry.
