"Au Japon, c'est tres difficile d'obtenir un livre de Filet Lace. Je fais de la dentelle au fuseaux, tatting et batten, mais il n'y a pas beaucoup de livre. ... Pour debutante, votre livre est le meilleurs livre. Je suis tres heureuse de faire connaissance avec vous."

This book is an excellent introduction to filet lace, a lace constructed on a square mesh fabric by weaving thread into the mesh. The book opens with a brief history of filet lace and then guides the reader step by step in how to make it. There are numerous detailed diagrams and photographs that clearly illustrate how the lace is constructed. Filet Lace is a book strongly recommended for anyone interested in this lace. The beginner will find all the basics on how to construct the linen stitch, the basic stitch used in filet lace; the intermediate lacer will find more advanced stitch techniques; the advanced lacer will find numerous exercises and patterns and a short bibliography on filet lace." www.internationaloldlacers.org

"Marie-Jo Quinault's "Filet Lace-Introduction to the Linen Stitch" provides a comprehensive guide to the technique of the Linen Stitch in filet lace-making. This long neglected technique has been brought back into vogue with Marie's 20 years of experience in lace-making and her in-depth research. Clear, detailed step-by-step instructions and drawings will enable the beginner to accomplish this rewarding form of lace-making. In addition, patterns to work from are also given. Lovers of lace can now, once again, enjoy this most delicate of fabrics. A must for the needleworker's library."

"Hello Marie-Jo, are you there? Knock, knock. Just got your parcel I am trilled to bits about your book and the net. I have been doing some little exercises on the little net I received with your metal frames, while I was waiting for your book. It has been going fine, but now I can start step by step. Thanks so much again."

"... I found your site through NORDICNEEDLE, who contact me weekly. I bought your book and some net from them and was delighted. It is very easy to understand, although I need a bit more practise before I can work without the instructions in front of me. Iused to do netting when I was first married to a fisherman's son and have always wanted to do filet work, especially now that I can no longer hold the pins for bobbin lace, but have never found anyone who could tell me anything about it, so I was very pleased to discover your business existed. I live in England... ... We don't have a club in Broadway yet, but I am hoping to get one started in the next few weeks. It will be "Bring whatever sort of work you are doing and let's all have a look at it", so I shall be showing my skill at filet lace as soon as I have mastered (?) it. Thank you! " (October 2006)
