Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Priscilla Netting Book: Containing Full Directions for Making Square and Circular Netting, and for the Various Stitches With Which Netting Is Ornamented; Also a Great Number of Finished Pieces in the Different Varieties of Netting and Filet Brodé
Linen thread, spool or skein thread, is used for netting, principally, especially for square netting; but much of the circular netting is done with cotton spool thread. For the net a firmly twisted thread is to be desired, and with some stitches the same thread used for the net is best for darning or embroidery, This is true of Point de toile, while Point de reprise is very effective when soft linen ?oss or cotton ?oss is used for darning.
