The specimen of guipure lace No. 28 is composed of various sprigs of natural flowers and leaves joined on the pillow with purling. Common Honiton guipure is joined with purling worked by the yard and sewn on, instead of being worked in on the pillow, as in this specimen.
No. 28.—Honiton Guipure Lace.
No. 29.—Honiton Appliqué.
Appliqué is the term given to this mode of joining Honiton sprigs. The ground is composed of Brussels net laid over the pattern prepared as above stated. Every outline of the lace is carefully sewn to the Brussels net; the net is afterwards cut away as shown in illustration No. 29.
It is advisable that ladies should receive one or two lessons in lace-making of Mrs. Mitchell, who is a quick and clever teacher, and whose charges are extremely moderate. Some ladies very soon master every class of lace work, but a lesson will frequently prevent much loss of time and patience.
No. 29.—Honiton Appliqué.
