's Mecklenburg thread No.
16 or 24, according to the fineness required.
This lappet is exceedingly pretty. It is composed of the following
stitches:--Point d'Alencon, point de tulle, English rosettes, Sorrento
bars, d'Alencon bars, dotted Venise bars, and the fancy stitch point
d'Anvers, which is not a true point lace stitch, but which is much
employed in modern point.

Point Grecque is another useful variety of fancy stitch, and so easily
worked as to be a favourite stitch with beginners.

_500 to 502.--Alphabet in Point Lace. (See endpapers.)_
Materials: Point lace cord; Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Mecklenburg
thread No. 36.
This alphabet is useful for marking pocket-handkerchiefs, and for
initials for sachets, &c. The cord is laid upon the pattern and pricked
out by passing a thread up through a hole over the cord, and back
through the same hole; then pass on to the next hole, and repeat.
