No. 4 is the passement or pricked design for a spade.
No. 5 is the passement of an old-fashioned sprig formerly much in vogue among Honiton lace workers, now seldom seen.
No. 4.—Spade Passement.
No. 5.—Old Sprig Passement.
The passements are pieces of brown parchment, having the exact glazed pattern pricked out on them as shown on pages 11, 13, and 15.
Ladies can easily prick them from the illustration. To prick from lace itself it is necessary to keep the lace in proper position and to place a pin in every pinhole along the outlines, to mark any crossed threads by a pinhole, and to show where lerd or lead-works occur by the same means.
Great accuracy is necessary for this work, as all the beauty of the lace depends on the correctness of the prickings.
