SUMMARY- All of the designs in this book were designed with rick rack intrinsically incorporated into the work - the company was, after all, in the business of selling trims like rick rack. The last two pages have a few token tatted edgings. My current copy of this booklet is missing 4 pages from the center - very frustrating - so I will continue to search for a complete copy.
