SUMMARY- My only copy of this book is a revised 4th edition. I'll keep looking for earlier editions to find out what got revised. There are some beautiful examples of cutwork and other embroidery, with a smattering of smocking and a primitive lesson on tatting with a handful of tatted edgings to practice on. This Semco book predated all the lovely tatted work that was done for Semco by Norma Benporath. I thought it interesting to see how Norma's work galvanized tatting in Australia.
