Excerpt from Variety Italian Cut Work and Filet Lace
In "Variety" the needleworker will find various kinds of artistic needlework with carefully written directions and many illustrations at a cost which does not exceed that generally asked for books which contain only one kind of needlework.
Another feature of the book which makes it distinct is the fact that it is the first book of its kind printed in the United States which - to the writer's knowledge - contains directions for making Italian cutwork and point lace.
Also the designs for filet lace contained in this book have been printed in blue in order to facilitate the work. They will be found far less fatiguing to the eye than the usual black and white designs. They are also unusually large and can be easily followed. Many of the designs may be used as tidies or doilies, or may be set into linens.
Motifs of point lace and filet lace may be set into linens for bedroom or table use. Centerpieces, bureau scarfs, doilies, curtains and many other articles are extremely effective when ornamented with this artistic needlework.
We have endeavored to give filet workers a number of original designs having new ideas, yet not losing the style of the antique designer.
