Books by Margaret Maidment

This vintage book contains a comprehensive manual of hand-made bobbin lace work, with information on techniques, details on measurements, simple instructions, and a wealth of handy tips. Written in plain language and profusely illustrated, this volume is ideal for the beginner, and is not to be missed by collectors of vintage literature of this ilk. Contents include: "Lace", "Preface", "Foreword", "Egyptian Twisted of Plaited Lace", "Materials", "General Methods", "Stitches", "Torchon Lace", "Torchon Corners", "Embroidery Finishings", "Cluny and Beds-Maltese", "Honiton Lace", and "Bucks 'Pointed Ground'". Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on lace.
