EDGES AND PURL FINISH.
The correct edging of lace is a most important part of this art, and
care should be taken to work a proper edge for each kind of lace.
Sorrento edging should be worked upon Limoges lace. Spanish lace
requires a full rich edge, as shown in No. 478, &c. The simplest edge is
point de Bruxelles, which is worked somewhat like the stitch No. 433,
and is secured by a knot worked in the braid. Many lace-workers omit
this knot.

No. 475.--SORRENTO EDGING is worked with one short and one long stitch
alternately.

No. 476.--POINT DE VENISE is worked precisely like that stitch (see page
456), three and even four stitches being worked in the loop.

No. 477.--POINT D'ANGLETERRE EDGING is worked in point de Bruxelles, the
thread being again drawn through the braid before proceeding to the next
stitch. This edging is strong and useful.
