Braid Applique on Net

-- Page 1 --

Braid Applique affords an easy method for ornamenting the fine white net now so fashionable, and some of the designs here illustrated give some idea of the variety that can be obtained in this way. The braid is sewn on the wrong side to the net in any simple design, then the net may be pleated or tucked to form a frill, or the work may be and very often is further embellished by the addition of fine crochet.

In most of the designs shown, the tiny picot or Mignardise Braid (also known as a fine Cordon Braid) has been used in this way; while in one, a rather coarser braid has been used as well. In two of the corners, which would make handsome finishes for net curtains, fine Featherstitched Braid has been employed.

For blouse trimmings, jabots, collars, etc, Honiton Lace Braid can be used with remarkably good effect. Braid can also be applied to cambric or table linen. Some of the illustrations show suitable sprays for this. Others will doubtless suggest themselves to the worker. Although the crochet is not necessary in every case, the work is improved by it, and we give directions for it.
