EDGED VENETIAN BARS (No. 5). This is a Venetian bar, like the last,
edged with Brussels or Venetian edging. This, with various other bars,
frequently forms the groundwork of the guipured lace.
ENGLISH BARS (No. 7). These are frequently worked between two lines of
Brussels or Venetian edging to connect them. They are made by passing
the needle backwards and forwards through two opposite stitches,
always tacking the under side of each, so that the threads be across
the space smoothly and evenly. About four times each way will be
sufficient. They are usually done across between two stitches, and
then one at each edge is missed before the next bar is made. Sometimes
these bars are radiated, a single stitch of the edge being missed on
one side, and two at the other.
