With respect to decorative needlework, a net is a mesh ground material made by interlacing threads using a machine, rather than being made by hand.
The Algerian eyelet is a technique whereby a star is worked that is made up of eight straight stitches, all of which are inserted into the same central hole. The stars can be worked individually or in rows. The stitch is worked from the top right hand corner in a clock-wise direction, over four threads.
The term eyelet hole is often used synonymously with eyelet. But it may also specifically be used for a stitch used in Hardanger work, whereby an exact square is formed by a large number of stitches being worked from a small central hole to the four edges of the square. Compare the Algerian eyelet.
An eyelet (or eyelet hole) is a hole that is pierced in the ground material with a stiletto or cut into the ground cloth. On the reverse of the fabric often a metal ring is attached that strengthens the edges of the hole. The hole is then normally outlined with running stitch and neatened with either an overcast stitch or buttonhole stitch.
The term even weave, or balanced weave, indicates that the size and spacing of the warp threads are more or less the same as those of the weft threads. So there might be, for example, ten warp threads per cm and ten weft threads per cm.
Soutache is a French term sometimes used for Russia braid, itself a form of metal thread twists.
