No. 13.  Spanish Point. - Fasten as many threads of soft cotton on your work as may be required for the design, to give the work a massive or raised effect; afterwards work from side to side with button-hole stitches, which must be worked close together and quite smooth.  The edge may be finished as occasion requires, with No. 8 or 9.

No. 14.  Brussels Lace  is a succession of rows of Brussels edge, worked alternately back-wards and forwards.

No. 15.  Venetian Lace. - Rows of Venetian edge, which should be worked all one way from left to right.

No. 16.  Sorrento Lace,   same as Sorrento edging, may be worked backwards and forwards.

No. 17. Cadiz Lace. - In the first row work six close button-hole stitches, miss the space of two, work two more, miss two, then work six, and so repeat; in the second row work two over each space on the row already done, and miss each part where stitches are worked; the third row will be the same as the first.  Repeat alternately.

No. 18. Fan Lace. - This is worked alternately with six close Brussels stitches, then miss the space of six alternately, as in engraving.
