No. 485—­Point Lace Border for Handkerchief.

Materials:  Fine lace braid or cord; Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.’s
Mecklenburg thread No. 24.

This border is suited for a handkerchief or for trimming a square bodice.  The braid is not tacked on by stitches running through the centre, as is usual in point lace braids, but sewn on by passing a thread from underneath over the braid and out through the same hole, as is done by lace-workers with a thick thread; this forms the design.  The stitches employed in this pattern are Raleigh bars, which connect the work; Sorrento edging, which finishes the whole outline; English rosettes filling the open spaces.  Point lace cord may be used for this in place of braid.
