VOLUME 2
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 huge number of patterns for the lacemaker to follow. With loads of information in 6 information-packed PDF files, this will be a superb addition to the lacemakers or lace collectors digital library. Check Out The Contents Of This CD Below!
