The like by the fringe of gloves.

NOTE.

The principle of this and the four following Articles is the same as the preceding, with this difference, that in the first, the letters, or words, are formed by knotting the fringe, to which the gauge is afterwards applied; in the second, and most desirable way, the beads are set to the required distance; by the third, the gloves are pierced or pricked in rows, according to the divisions on the gauge; and by the fourth and fifth, the rows of parallel holes in a sieve or lantern are stopped at the required distances, and the gauge applied as before.
