The thread is merely passed three times over and under
the point de Bruxelles stitches, the length of these bars being
regulated by the space to be filled; when the third bar is completed a
tight point de Bruxelles stitch is used to fasten off the bar, the
thread is passed through the next point de Bruxelles stitch, and a
second bar begun.

button-hole stitch. No. 465 shows the Venetian bar applied as the
"veining" of leaf, and worked upon Sorrento bars.
[Illustration: 465.--Venetian Bar.]
No. 466.--VENETIAN BARS are worked so as to form squares, triangles,
&c., in button-hole stitch upon a straight thread. The arrow in the
illustration points to the direction for working the next.
