"Beeton's Book of Needlework"


[Illustration: 477.--Point d'Angleterre Edging.]
No. 478.--POINT D'ESPAGNE EDGING.--This stitch is easily worked. Insert
the point of the needle through the braid and wind the thread round it
20 times, draw the needle through these windings and draw the picot
tight, sew over the braid the space of 3 stitches, and repeat.

No. 479.--ANTWERP EDGE.--This edge is only a variety of point
d'Angleterre edging, and differs only in the mode of making the knot;
the thread is passed over, under, and through the loop formed by the
point de Bruxelles lace.
[Illustration: 479.--Antwerp Edge.]
NOTE.--It will be observed that the stitches here given are much
enlarged for the sake of clearness in showing details.
