Illus.13<br />
Double press point net with<br />
h<strong>and</strong> embroidery, 1800-10; more<br />
than one loop is used to make<br />
each side of the silk net <strong>and</strong> they<br />
bunch in the angles; again it<br />
relies on the dressing (starch or<br />
gum Arabic) to keep its shape.<br />
