Product Description
Product Description
This is an introduction to Bucks Point lace, designed both as an instruction book for the beginner and as a reference tool for the more experienced lacemaker. The book contains 40 patterns, arranged in order of difficulty, each presenting a few new techniques and, for those who may not be familiar with the diagrammatic approach, there are simple written instructions explaining each new step. The most common techniques are set out in box form for easy reference and throughout, there are practical hints gathered over the author's many years of experience as a lacemaker and teacher. Each pattern has an actual size pricking and a photograph of the finished lace. The early practice strips are worked to a large scale to help familiarize the new lacemaker with thin threads and pins; these are interspersed with actual lace articles, which will be decorative and useful as well as serving as samplers. After working through this book, the beginner should be able to move on to its companion, "!00 Traditional Bobbin Lace Patterns", of which Geraldine Sott is also the author, as well as "Introduction to Bobbin Lace Stitches". She is co-author of "The Book of Bobbin Lace Stitches".

Visual Introduction to Bucks Point Lace,
By Joyce Lim (Tacoma, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Visual Introduction to Bucks Point Lace (Paperback)
This book has plenty of nice patterns but it is recommended for lacemakers who are familiar with the basic stitches. The colour code system makes it easy to understand, at a glance.

Excellent Book!,
By says_simon - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Visual Introduction to Bucks Point Lace (Paperback)
I love this book! I feel like I'm learning everything I need to know to follow old Bucks Point patterns. The book takes you from a very simple fan to gorgeous floral Bucks patterns. It is very easy to understand IF you have a basic knowledge of how to do bobbin lace. I took a class on Torchon before I started this book, so I had a good idea of what was going on at the beginning. When I came back to lace making years later, I read through Stott's The Bobbin Lace Manual to catch up. That might be a good book for a novice, but I can't say for certain because I didn't use it to learn bobbin lace.The price for this book is OUTRAGEOUS, but I would never ever ever sell my copy. It is my favorite lace book because it lets me dream that some day, I, too, will be able to master this beautiful lace.
