Synopsis

Tracing netting from prehistoric fishing nets to its role as an early form of lace, Margaret Morgan sets out an approach designed for makers who want to create their own foundations rather than rely on commercially produced net. Clear guidance introduces the simple equipment involved, alongside illustrated, step-by-step techniques for forming backgrounds in a range of sizes and shapes, plus a selection of edgings.

The book also includes patterns for round, rectangular and oval table mats, table centres and doilies, with many suitable for embroidery in linen stitch. Further projects extend the same core methods to scarves and shawls worked with heavier yarns and larger needles, as well as miniature pieces made with fine threads for doll’s house use, offering more than forty patterns in total.
