Italian instructions on making the net ground, mounting it for stitching, and for filet darning. Some particulary large and elaborate designs as well as three that can be traced back to the late 1500s (Figs. 28, 30, 42/43). No citations provided. Designs for strips/borders/insertions, plus round and oval center motifs, and a paricularly elaborate armchair set (antimacassar).
