Dating from the 15th century, bobbin lace is prized everywhere for its intricacy, delicacy, and decorative richness — and couldn't be easier to do!\u003cbr\u003eIn this modern, step-by-step approach to the craft, noted lacemaker Brigita Fuhrmann shows you how to create every kind of bobbin lace — from the simplest stitch to the most challenging pattern. In addition, she traces the history of bobbin lacemaking in Western and Eastern Europe (including Russia) and relates these two distinct types to contemporary trends.\u003cbr\u003eFor all its intricate, elegant appearance, bobbin lace is based on only two different movements of bobbins — the cross and the twist. Essentially, it is the technique of winding threads on bobbins around pins attached to a firm pillow. The pins hold the lace in place while you cross and twist the bobbins over each other in varying sequences to form a wide range of stitches. The richness of the lace depends on how you combine the stitches into a pattern.\u003cbr\u003eMs. Fuhrmann provides expert advice on the tools you'll need — pillows, bobbins, pins, and thread — and easy-to-follow instructions for a variety of exquisite stitches. Clear, accurate diagrams accompany stitch directions, beginning with the braid and Brussels ground and ending with the maiden's net and spiders. Learn how to make stunning straight lace and tape lace; construct fans, corners, edgings; draft patterns; finish your creations, and care for your lace.\u003cbr\u003eNeedleworkers at all levels of expertise will welcome this comprehensive volume. Experienced hands will discover endless challenges and inspiration here; beginners will find this an excellent introduction to the beauty and elegance of a time-honored art form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eReprint of \u003ci\u003eBobbin Lace: A Contemporary Approach\u003c\/i\u003e, Watson-Guptill Publications, 1976.\u003c\/div\u003e bobbin lace; lacemaking; needlecraft; lace stitches; winding threads; hygge","brand":"Brigita Fuhrmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47180711264577,"sku":"9780486170886","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/3262\/5985\/files\/9780486170886_eb2c8b54-e2d8-4d37-8bc2-73bd884c2030.jpg?v=1758652248"},{"product_id":"9780486811079","title":"24-Hour Sewing Projects","description":"You can't tell by looking at them but each of these 32 projects takes 24 hours or less to sew!

This collection of 195 charted designs, originally collected prior to World War I by Emil Sigerus, is an invaluable source of unusual and interesting ideas of modern cross-stitchers and other craftspeople.\u003cbr\u003eThese ornate, highly stylized designs cover a vast array of moods and historical epochs, from the medieval (mounted knights, falconers, winged horses, dragons, gryphons) to the strikingly modern (abstract designs, unusual geometric forms, florals) and range in complexity from simple patterns composed of a few lines to very intricate symmetrical designs. Portions of these designs are also a source of many repeat and border patterns and spot decorations.\u003cbr\u003eThe designs are printed on a chart so that they can easily be used for needlepoint, Fair Isle knitting, rug-hooking, or any other form of counted-thread embroidery. And because the chart makes it easy to vary the size of each design, you can use the patterns to decorate anything from small pillows to bedspreads or wallhangings. Other craftspeople can transfer the patterns onto wood, metal, canvas, or mosaic to achieve stimulating and unusual effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eReprint of \u003ci\u003eFolk Cross-Stitch Designs\u003c\/i\u003e, 1964 edition.\u003c\/div\u003e needlework; transylvania; eastern european art; cross stitch; design; history; saxon; culture; embroidery; knitting; crafts; hobbies; mounted knights; falconers; winged horses; dragons; gryphons; medieval designs; patterns; motifs; abstract designs; unusual geometric forms; florals; peasant art; folk art; textiles; how to book; reference guide; Peasant Designs; Folk Art designs; Folk Art; Craft project designs; Charted designs; hygge","brand":"Edited by Heinz Edgar Kiewe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47181318455617,"sku":"9780486234250","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/3262\/5985\/products\/9780486234250.jpg?v=1710204988"}],"url":"https:\/\/store.doverpublications.com\/collections\/needlework-sewing-quilting\/bisac-design-graphic-arts-typography.oembed","provider":"Dover Publications","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
