Nos. 37 and 38.—Venetian Bars.—The bar at No. 37 is so simple that it really needs no description. It is worked over two straight threads in reverse button-hole stitch. No. 38 shows the Venetian bar used as the veining of a leaf and worked upon Sorrento bars.
No. 37.—Venetian Bars.
No. 38.—Venetian Bars.
No. 39.—Point d'Anvers Bars.—Two upright bars form the foundation. The thread is carried over and under them as seen in the engraving, the side loops being added by the method depicted at the top of the point.
The over and under work in point d'Anvers bars, without the side loops, is often used for plain bars for filling in odd spaces or wheels in heavy lace.
No. 39.—Point d'Anvers Bars.
