Steel linen with lace embroidery with drawn threads and four-pointed stars in a square grid

Sample of natural-colored linen with lace embroidery: work with drawn threads. Study material. In a considerable part of the linen a square grid has arisen by drawing out threads in horizontal and vertical direction. With an added thread a beginning has been made with bundling the remaining threads that form the grid and finishing the edges around the grid with buttonhole stitches. The bundling is executed in horizontal and vertical lines, the added thread forms in this way an own square grid. The bundled threads form four-pointed stars. To the right of the pattern you see how weft threads (horizontal) are partly cut and drawn out of the coarse linen fabric, the warp threads are here still intact. The linen is finished with hems along which a border of work with drawn threads is made.
