In offering this little work upon Honiton Pillow Lace Making, Madame Goubaud tenders her sincere thanks for the reception accorded to her volume upon Point Lace.
The great demand for Pillow Lace Instruction and Designs has induced Madame Goubaud to begin this, the first of a series upon Pillow Lace Making. Valenciennes, Bedford, and Maltese laces will follow in due course.

PILLOW LACE.
The materials required for Honiton Pillow Lace work are neither numerous nor expensive. A pillow, two dozen bobbins, some lace thread, a needle-pin, a pair of blunt scissors, and a few pricked patterns or passements, and lace pins are all the requisites for this useful and beautiful work.
The pillows are made and sold at moderate prices by Mrs. Mitchell, a Devonshire lace worker, at Long Dean-street room in the Soho Bazaar, Oxford-street. Mrs. Mitchell supplies bobbins, thread, passements, and all requisites, as well as gives lessons in pillow-lace making. The pillows can be obtained with plain or handsome covers and cloths, and with wooden, ivory, or ornamental bobbins. Learners will find it useful to have their leading bobbins ornamented, in distinction to the plain, until they have acquired the art of working Honiton lace.
