Amazing Instructions for Romaninan Point Lace

Format:Hardcover
I was luckier than I knew when I bought a copy of this now rarely available book on Romanian Point Lace. The techniques are clearly illustrated and cover all aspects of this rare lace technique. Even better, these techniques and the skills learned can be transferred to other needlelace techniques. A wonderful book and find. Well illustrated and well written with detailed photographs of full projects and individual stitches and motifs.
Batsford is a wonderful craft publisher and once again they don't let you down. Grab this book of you can.

Details for filling stitches in arch shapes are only in this book which makes it unique and highly desirable. It needs to be reprinted. The current prices for used copies are ridiculous and unattainable for most. The book is excellent however - just not available to those who actually use it.
