Dear all,
Does anyone know the name of the stitch of tiny dots which fill the
motifs of the 19th century French embroidery?
I remember it has something in connection with sable (french for sand)
as it looks that fine.
Any information is welcome.
Greetings! :-) And thanks in advance.

A quick question that one of you may be able to answer does anyone know what
year the book "An Elementary Course of Practical Lace-Making" by Margaret

to me was printed by E.J. Arnold & Son Ltd Leeds, Glasgow and Belfas
Hi
While it's not a definitive answer for when the book was first published,
WorldCat has one record showing a 1913 publication date:

Odette Arpin. It inspires me to persevere with my leaves and tallies!
She calls for use of "Soie d'Alger" and "Soie 150 deniers", neither of which
I can locate in my "Threads for Lace". A Google search reveals "Soie
