An amazing book,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Book of Bobbin Lace Stitches (Hardcover)
This book is compenium of stitches used in bobbin lace. Beautifully photographed and diagramed, it is meant for the lace designer. There are no patterns. The only thing I would do to improve this book is to give some indication what style of lace the stitches shown would be used in. That aside, I love this book. Even if you never design a piece in your life, it is beautiful and informative to browse through.

A great reference that adds to your understanding of bobbin laces,
By Lady La (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Book of Bobbin Lace Stitches (Paperback)
This instructional book illustrates 262 different bobbin lace reseaus and stitches with photos of examples, drawings of the stitches, and instructions and prickings for each stitch. It is a wonderful resource for understanding what differentiates the various reseaus and fillings, as in photographs, they are often hard to distinguish. Great to be used in conjunction with Pat Earnshaw's *Identification of Lace* when analyzing a piece of lace.
