Punto in aria (It. stitch in the air) is a
first example of a real lace. This is a sewn lace, a thread
creating an outline of a pattern is basted on a waxed fabric
or a parchment with several layers of a durable fabric, the outline is filled with
connecting pieces and sewn panels. When the lace is finished,
the basting is cut off. This technique is very laborious and
time-consuming. |
