This lace stitch is dainty and regular. This is suitable for lace-making projects and similar needlework.

[edit] Steps

Commence at the right side and pass the thread to the left.
First row. Make a loose button-hole stitch into the braid to form a loop, then pass the needle under the line of thread, making the loops an eighth of an inch apart.
Second row. Pass the thread back to the left, make a button-hole stitch in every loop, and pass the needle under the line of thread after each button-hole stitch.
Continue stitching until you have formed the shape called for in your pattern.
