NEW BRAIDS AND DESIGNS MILANESE

Milanese lace designs are curves and elegant scrolls in floral and leaf forms. The lace is made in sections called "free" or "part" lace, and these are then put together by means of sewings. This book contains both traditional and modern work on the art of Milanese lacemaking.

Milanese has a greater variety of decorative stitches within the braid than any other lace. It is this variety, added to the baroque style of its designs, that makes Milanese the most beautiful of Italian laces. New in paperback, this book is a collection of 43 new braids, including two spiral braids, and 40 original patterns, all with diagrams, photographs and full instructions.
