Couvige of Puy in Velay (October 2002)

I was likely to see working Joelle Milord who contributes to the promotion of the "Poinct de Tulle". Joelle seeks the perfection in the regularity of the net which it makes with old, i.e. with moulds and needles to be netted. This long and a little tiresome work is in conformity with the authencity and the quality of the points of embroidery which will decorate it.

Respectful of the various traditional points of embroidery which take part in the realization of the Tulle poinct, Joelle explains them in a book clearly and control, in a concern of transmitting knowledge obtained after more than ten years of research and work. The points used are the rivet washer, the coarse one, the cordonnet, the festoon, the point of spirit, the barb as well as the points of completion.

The work, of which you will find all the references in my bibliography and the "Espace Pub" of the site, is also enriched with the wire by the pages by a presentation by the old town of Tulle and its workshops by lace, testimony of passed and our inheritance.
