| Monogram is hand-stitched needle lace. It is set into a scrolling style of bobbin lace sometimes called rococo, for the meandering scrolling tendrils. Three-lobed florets with one lobe in openwork, here done in half-stitch. Meticulous hand stitching forms the drawnwork detail in the fine fabric, forms the elegant hemstitch, and attaches the lace corner to the three-quarter inch deep hem.
