Excerpt: ...more solid manner if necessary, and would look equally well that way. When working upon transparent grounds special care must be taken with the reverse side as well as with the surface, for the work to be practically alike upon both sides; there must be no threads running from one form to another nor any visible fastening off of ends. Fig. 113. DARNED NETTING Darned netting, or lacis, as it is sometimes called, might almost come under Pg 211 the heading of either lace or embroidery.
