About the sound
Packing : the pins are stitched on the pattern on the pillow to indicate the many changes of direction in the lace making.
Lace is an openwork fabric, patterned with open holes in the work, made by machine or by hand. Lace is often made with cotton thread, although linen and silk threads are still available.
