+<h2><a name="Preface" id="Preface"></a>Preface.</h2>
+
+
+<p>The absolute want of any comprehensive book on
+needlework&mdash;such an one as contains both verbal and
+pictorial descriptions of everything included under the
+name of needlework&mdash;has led me to put into the serviceable
+form of an Encyclopedia, all the knowledge and
+experience, which years of unceasing study and practice
+have enabled me to accumulate on the subject, with the
+hope that diligent female workers of all ages, may be able,
+by its means to instruct themselves in every branch of
+plain and fancy needlework.</p>
+
+<p>All the patterns given, even the most insignificant,
+were worked afresh for the purpose, and thus, not merely
+faithful representations, but also lucid and intelligible
+explanations of the same, are secured.</p>
+
+<p>In order that my readers may have something besides
+the dull theory, the work is enlivened by a number of
+useful patterns, some new, some derived from the artistic
+productions of such countries and epochs as have
+become famous by special excellence in the domain of
+needlework.</p>
+
+<p>Though, at first sight, the reproduction of many of
+these patterns may seem to present insuperable difficulties,
+<a name="Page_0" id="Page_0"></a>they will, after a careful study of the text, and exact attention
+to the directions given, prove easy to carry out.</p>
+
+<p>Many of these interesting designs are drawn from
+private collections, whose owners, with great kindness,
+placed their treasures at my disposal, to copy and borrow
+from at discretion, for which I desire to take the present
+opportunity, of tendering them my warmest thanks.</p>
+
+<p>The choice of colours and material&mdash;a difficult matter
+to many&mdash;my readers will find rendered comparatively
+easy to them by the notes affixed to the illustrations; and
+I may point out, that most of the patterns were worked
+with D.M.C cottons, which enjoy the well-earned reputation
+of being, the very best of their kind, in the market
+of the world.</p>
+
+<p>Experience has convinced me that, in many instances,
+these cottons may with advantage take the place of wool,
+linen thread, and even silk.</p>
+
+<p>If this work meet with indulgent judges, and prove
+really useful, I shall find ample reward in that fact for
+the trouble and difficulties that have unavoidably attended
+its completion.</p>

+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at

+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the

+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax

+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+<h2><a name="Plain_Sewing" id="Plain_Sewing"></a>Plain Sewing.</h2>
+
+
+<p>Many, on opening the Encyclopedia of needlework will
+be disposed to exclaim as they read the heading of this first
+section: What is the use of describing all the old well-known
+stitches, when machines have so nearly superseded the slower
+process of hand-sewing? To this our reply is that, of all
+kinds of needlework, Plain Sewing needs to be most thoroughly
+learned, as being the foundation of all. Those who are
+able to employ others to work for them, should at least know
+how to distinguish good work from bad, and those who are in
+less fortunate circumstances, have to be taught how to work for
+themselves.</p>
+
+<p><b>Position of the body and hands.</b>&mdash;Before describing
+different kinds of stitches, a word should be said as to
+the position of the body and hands when at work. Long experience
+has convinced me that no kind of needlework necessitates
+a stooping or cramped attitude. To obviate which, see
+that your chair and table suit each other in height, and that you
+so hold your work as hardly to need to bend your head at all.
+The practice of fastening the work to the knee, besides being
+ungraceful, is injurious to the health.</p>
+
+<p><b>Needles.</b>&mdash;These should be of the best quality. To test
+a needle, try to break it; if it resist, and then break clean in
+<a name="Page_2" id="Page_2"></a>two, the steel is good; if it bend without breaking, or break
+without any resistance, it is bad. Never use a bent needle, it
+makes ugly and irregular stitches, and see that the eye, whether
+round or egg-shaped, be well-drilled, that it may not fray
+or cut the thread. Long or half-long needles are the best for
+white work, long ones for dress-making, and longer ones still,
+with long eyes, for darning. A stock of each, from No 5 to 12,
+is advised. The needle should always be a little thicker than
+the thread, to make an easy passage for it through the stuff.</p>
+
+<p>To keep needles from rusting, strew a little stone alum in
+the packets, and workers whose hands are apt to get damp,
+should have a small box of it handy, to powder their fingers
+with. Blackened needles can be made quite bright again by
+drawing them through an emery cushion.</p>
+
+<p><b>Scissors</b>.&mdash;Scissors are a very important accessory of the
+work-table, and two varieties are indispensable; a pair of large
+ones for cutting-out, with one point blunt and the other sharp,
+the latter to be always held downwards; and a pair of smaller
+ones with two sharp points. The handles should be large and
+round; if at all tight, they tire and disfigure the hand.</p>
+
+<p><b>Thimble</b>.&mdash;Steel thimbles are the best; bone are very
+liable to break, and silver ones are not deeply enough pitted, to
+hold the needle. A thimble should be light, with a rounded
+top and flat rim.</p>
+
+<p><b>The thread</b>.&mdash;Except for tacking, your thread should never
+be more than from 40 to 50 c/m. long.<a name="FNanchor_1_1" id="FNanchor_1_1"></a><a href="#Footnote_1_1" class="fnanchor">[1]</a> If the thread is
+in skeins, it does not matter which end you begin with, but if
+you use reeled cotton, thread your needle with the end that
+points to the reel, when you cut it; as the other end will split,
+and unravel, when twisted from left to right, which is generally
+done, to facilitate the process of threading. The cotton should
+always be cut, as it is weakened by breaking.</p>
+
+<p><b>Knotting the thread into the needle</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_1">1</a>).&mdash;When the
+thread becomes inconveniently short, and you do not want
+take a fresh one, it may be knotted into the needle, thus:
+bring it round the forefinger close to the needle, cross it on the
+inside next to the finger, hold the crossed threads fast, with the<a name="Page_3" id="Page_3"></a>
+thumb draw the needle out through the loop thus formed,
+and tighten the loop round both ends.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 500px;">

+<img src="images/003.jpg" alt="FIG. 1. KNOTTING THE THREAD INTO THE NEEDLE." title="" />
+<span class="caption smcap">Fig. 1. Knotting the thread into the needle.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p><b>Materials</b>.&mdash;For tacking, use Coton &agrave; coudre D.M.C qualit&eacute;
+sup&eacute;rieure (black and gold stamp) Nos. 2 to 6.<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a> For hand-sewing,
+Fil d'Alsace D.M.C Nos. 30 to 700,<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a> and Fil &agrave; dentelle D.M.C,
+balls or reels, Nos. 25 to 100<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a> will be found most useful. For
+machine-work: C&acirc;bl&eacute; 6 fils pour machines D.M.C, Nos. 30 to
+300,<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a>  black and
+white, or white
+and blue stamp.
+These can also be
+used for hand-work.
+Both these
+and the lace-thread
+(Fil &agrave; dentelle) on reels, are
+superfine in quality.
+The medium
+sizes are the most
+useful; but the
+only suitable ones
+for very fine and
+delicate fabrics are
+the Fil &agrave; dentelle
+D.M.C, and Fil
+d'Alsace, and the
+latter only is manufactured
+in the
+higher numbers.</p>
+
+<p>All these threads are to be had, wound in balls, or on
+reels, the buyer may make his own choice; balls are apt to
+get tangled, but the cotton preserves its roundness better than
+when it is wound on reels. Linen is generally sewn with
+linen-thread, but Fil &agrave; dentelle and the Fil d'Alsace are very
+good substitutes.</p>
+<p><a name="Page_4" id="Page_4"></a></p>
+<p><b>Position of the hands</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_2">2</a>).&mdash;The stuff, fastened to a
+cushion, must be held with the left hand, which should neither
+rest on the table, nor on the cushion, the needle must be held
+between the thumb and forefinger, of the right hand, and
+the middle finger, armed with the thimble, pushes the needle
+far enough through the stuff, for the other fingers to take hold
+of it and draw it out; the thread then comes to lie between the
+fourth and fifth fingers in the form of a loop, which must be
+tightened gradually to avoid its knotting.</p>

+<span class="caption smcap">Fig. 2. Position of the hands.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p><b>Position of the hands without cushion</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_3">3</a>).&mdash;When
+the work cannot be
+fastened to a cushion
+it should be
+held between the
+forefinger and the
+thumb, and left
+hanging down, over
+the other fingers.
+If it need to be
+more firmly held,
+draw it between the fourth and fifth fingers, which will prevent
+it from getting puckered or dragged.</p>

+
+<p><a name="stitches" id="stitches"></a><b>Stitches</b>.&mdash;Plain-Sewing comprises 4 varieties of stitches,
+(1) running, (2) back-stitching, (3) hemming and (4) top or
+over-sewing.</p>
+
+<p>(1) <b>Running-stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_4">4</a>).&mdash;This is the simplest and
+easiest of all. Pass the needle in and out of the material, at
+regular intervals, in a horizontal direction,
+taking up three or four threads at a time.
+If the stuff allow, several stitches may
+be taken on the needle at once, before the
+thread is drawn out. Running-stitch is used
+for plain seams, for joining light materials,
+for making gathers and for hems.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 300px;">
+<a name="fig_4" id="fig_4"></a>
+<img src="images/006.jpg" alt="FIG. 4. RUNNING-STITCH." title="" />
+<span class="caption smcap">Fig. 4. Running-stitch.</span>
+</div>
+
+
+<p>(2) <b>Back-stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_5">5</a>).&mdash;Insert the needle, and draw it out
+six threads further on, carry your thread back, from left to
+right, and insert the needle three threads back from the point
+at which it was last drawn out, and bring it out six threads
+<a name="Page_5" id="Page_5"></a>beyond. Stitching and back-stitching are better and more
+quickly done by machine than by hand.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 300px;">
+<a name="fig_5" id="fig_5"></a>
+<img src="images/007.jpg" alt="FIG. 5. BACK-STITCH." title="" />
+<span class="caption smcap">Fig. 5. Back-stitch.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p><b>Stitching</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_6">6</a>).&mdash;The production of
+a row of back-stitches, that exactly meet
+one another, constitutes what is called
+stitching. Only one stitch can be made
+at a time, and the needle must be put
+in, exactly at the point where it was
+drawn out to form the preceding back-stitch,
+and brought out as many threads
+further on as were covered by the last back-stitch.
+The beauty of stitching depends
+on the uniform length of the stitches, and
+the straightness of the line formed, to
+ensure which it is necessary to count the
+threads for each stitch, and to draw a
+thread to mark the line. If you have to
+stitch in a slanting line across the stuff,
+or the stuff be such as to render the
+drawing of a thread impossible, a coloured
+tacking thread should be run in first, to
+as a guide.</p>

+<span class="caption smcap">Fig. 6. Stitching.</span>
+</div>
+
+
+<p><b>Stitched hem</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_7">7</a>).&mdash;Make a double
+turning, as for a hem, draw a thread
+two or three threads above the edge of the first turning, and
+do your stitching through all three layers of stuff; the right
+side will be that on which you form your stitches.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 300px;">

+<span class="caption smcap">Fig. 7. Stitched hem.</span>
+</div>
+
+
+
+<p>(3) <b>Hemming-stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_8">8</a>).&mdash;To make a good hem,
+your stuff must be cut in the line of the thread. Highly dressed
+stuffs, such as linen and calico; should be rubbed in the hand,
+to soften them, before the hem is laid. Your first turning
+should not be more than 2 m/m. wide; turn down the whole
+length of your hem, and then make the second turning of the
+same width, so that the raw edge is enclosed between two
+layers of stuff.</p>
+
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 300px;">
+<a name="fig_8" id="fig_8"></a>
+<img src="images/010.jpg" alt="FIG. 8. HEMMING-STITCH." title="" />
+<span class="caption smcap">Fig. 8. Hemming-stitch.</span>
+</div>
+
+
+
+<p>Narrow hems do not need to be tacked, but wide ones, where
+the first turning should only be just wide enough to prevent
+the edge from fraying, ought always to be. In hemming you
+<a name="Page_6" id="Page_6"></a>insert the needle and thread directed in a slanting position
+towards you, just below the edge of the hem, and push it
+out two threads above, and so on to the end, setting the
+stitches, two or three threads apart, in a continuous straight
+line. To ensure the hem being straight, a thread may be
+drawn to mark the line for the second turning, but it is not
+a good plan, especially in shirt-making, as the edge of the
+stuff, too apt in any case, to cut and fray, is, thereby, still
+further weakened. Hems in woollen materials, which will not
+take a bend, can only be laid and tacked, bit by bit. In making,
+what are called rolled hems, the needle must be slipped in, so
+as only to pierce the first turning, in order that the stitches
+may not be visible on the outside.</p>
+
+
+<p><a name="seams" id="seams"></a><b>Flat seam</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_9">9</a>).&mdash;Lay your two edges, whether straight
+or slanting, exactly even, tack them together with stitches
+2 c/m. long, distant 1 to 2 c/m. from the edge, and then back-stitch
+them by machine or by hand, following
+the tacking-thread. Cut off half the inner
+edge, turn the outer one in, as for a hem
+and sew it down with hemming-stitches.</p>
+
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 300px;">
+<a name="fig_9" id="fig_9"></a>
+<img src="images/011.jpg" alt="FIG. 9. FLAT SEAM." title="" />
+<span class="caption smcap">Fig. 9. Flat seam.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>Smooth the seam underneath with the
+forefinger as you go, to make it lie quite
+flat. Beginners should flatten down the seam with their
+thimbles, or with the handle of the scissors, before they
+begin to hem, as the outer and wider edge is very apt to get
+pushed up and bulge over, in the sewing, which hides the
+stitches.</p>
+
+<p><b>Rounded seam</b>.&mdash;Back-stitch your two edges together, as
+above directed, then cut off the inner edge to a width of four
+threads, and roll the outer one in, with the left thumb, till
+the raw edge is quite hidden, hemming as you roll. This
+kind of seam, on the wrong side, looks like a fine cord, laid
+on, and is used in making the finer qualities of underclothing.</p>
+
+<p><b>Fastening threads off, and on</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_10">10</a>).&mdash;Knots should be
+avoided in white work. To fasten on, in hemming, turn the
+needle backwards with the point up, take one stitch, and stroke
+and work the end of the thread in, underneath the turning.<a name="Page_7" id="Page_7"></a>
+To fasten on, in back-stitching or running, make one stitch
+with the new thread, then take both ends and lay them
+down together to the left, and work over them, so that they
+wind in, and out of the next few stitches.</p>

+for joining selvedges together. To keep the
+two pieces even, it is better, either to tack or
+pin them together first. Insert the needle,
+from right to left, under the first thread of
+the selvedge, and through both edges, and
+sew from right to left, setting your stitches
+not more than three threads apart. The
+thread must not be drawn too tightly, so
+that when the seam is finished and flattened
+with the thimble, the selvedges may
+lie, side by side.</p>

+
+<p><b>Antique or old-German seam</b> (figs. <a href="#fig_13">13</a>
+and <a href="#fig_14">14</a>).&mdash;Tack or pin the selvedges together
+as above, then, pointing your needle
+upwards from below, insert it, two threads
+from the selvedge, first on the wrong side,
+then on the right, first through one selvedge,
+then through the other, setting the
+stitches two threads apart. In this manner,
+the thread crosses itself, between the two
+selvedges, and a perfectly flat seam is produced.
+Seams of this kind occur in old embroidered
+linen articles, where the stuff was

+<h2><a name="Tatting" id="Tatting"></a>Tatting.</h2>
+<hr style="width: 15%;" />
+
+
+<p>On account of a similarity in their construction, a chapter
+on tatting seems to form a natural sequence to the one on
+crochet and is in some ways a preparation for that on macram&eacute;
+which succeeds it.</p>
+
+<p>The English name of tatting is said to be derived from
+&laquo;tatters&raquo; and to denote the frail disconnected character of the
+fabric. By the Italians it was formerly called &laquo;occhi&raquo;, whilst
+in the East it still bears the name of &laquo;makouk&raquo;, from the
+shuttle used in making it.</p>
+
+<p>In the eighteenth century, when tatting was in great vogue,
+much larger shuttles than our present ones were used, because of
+the voluminous materials they had to carry, silk cord being one.</p>
+
+<p><b>Shuttles</b>.&mdash;The tatting shuttle consists of two oval blades
+of either bone, ivory, mother of pearl or tortoise-shell, pointed
+at both ends, and joined together in the middle. A good shuttle
+contributes materially to the rapid and perfect execution of the
+work and attention should be paid in its selection to the following
+particulars: that it be not more than 7 c/m. long and
+2 or 3 c/m. wide: that the two ends be close enough to
+prevent the thread from protruding; this is more especially
+important in tatting with two shuttles and lastly, that the centre
+piece that joins the two oval blades together should have a
+hole bored in it, large enough for the thread to pass through.</p>
+
+<p>In filling the shuttle, be careful not to wind on too much
+<a name="Page_326" id="Page_326"></a>thread at once, or the blades will gape open at the ends and the
+thread get soiled by constant contact with the worker's hands.</p>
+
+<p><b>Materials</b>.&mdash;A strongly twisted thread such as Fil d'Alsace
+D.M.C, Fil &agrave; dentelle D.M.C, or Cordonnet 6 fils D.M.C,
+is best for tatting. We particularly recommend Fil d'Alsace,
+as forming the best shaped knots and picots. A soft material
+such as Coton &agrave; tricoter D.M.C, can also be used where it
+suits the purpose better.</p>
+
+<p><b><a name="First_position_of_the_hands" id="First_position_of_the_hands"></a>First position of the hands</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_486">486</a>).&mdash;The construction
+of the knots or stitches, appears at first sight to present great
+difficulties but will be easily mastered by attention to the
+indications here given. One thing, to be constantly borne in
+mind is, that when the right hand has passed the shuttle
+through the loop, it must stop with a sudden jerk and hold
+the thread tightly extended until the left hand has drawn up
+the knot. After filling the shuttle, take the end of the thread
+between the thumb and forefinger of the left hand, and the
+shuttle in the right, pass the thread over the third and fourth
+fingers of the left hand, bring it back towards the thumb and
+cross the two threads under the fingers, as indicated in fig. <a href="#fig_486">486</a>. Pass the thread that comes from the shuttle round the
+little finger of the right hand, and give the shuttle the direction
+shown in the engraving.</p><p><a name="Page_327" id="Page_327"></a></p>

+
+<p><b>Second and third position of the hands</b> (figs. <a href="#fig_487">487</a> and
+<a href="#fig_488">488</a>).&mdash;Make the shuttle pass between the first and third fingers,
+in the direction indicated by the arrow in fig. <a href="#fig_487">487</a>, and bring
+it out behind the loop.</p>

+</div>
+
+<p>Here the first difficulties for beginners arise and until they
+have sufficiently mastered the movements of both hands not
+to confuse them, we advise them to pay careful attention to
+the following instructions. As soon as you have put the shuttle
+through the loop, place
+the right hand on the
+table with the thread
+tightly extended, leaving
+the left hand perfectly
+passive.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 500px;">
+<img src="images/502.jpg"  alt="FIG. 488. THIRD POSITION OF THE HANDS." title="" />
+<a name="fig_488" id="fig_488"></a><span class="caption smcap">Fig. 488. Third position of the hands.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>Then, raising the
+third and fourth fingers
+of the left hand with
+the loop upon them,
+pull up the loop,
+stretching the thread
+tightly in so doing by
+extending the fingers.
+By this movement
+a knot is
+formed, the
+first part of the
+&laquo;double knot&raquo;,
+which is the
+most common
+one in tatting.</p>
+
+<p>Remember
+that the right
+hand must be
+kept perfectly
+still as long as
+the left is in motion and that the knot must be formed of the
+loop thread that is in the left hand.</p>
+
+<p>The right hand, or shuttle thread, must always be free to
+<a name="Page_328" id="Page_328"></a>run through the knots; if it were itself formed into knots it
+would not have the free play, needed for loosening and tightening
+the loop on the left hand, as required.</p>
+
+<p><b>Fourth position of the hands</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_489">489</a>).&mdash;The second
+part of a knot is formed by the following movements: pass the
+shuttle, as indicated in fig. <a href="#fig_489">489</a>, from left to right, between the
+first and third fingers through the extended loop; the right
+hand seizes the shuttle in front of the empty loop and extends
+the thread; the left hand pulls up this second part of the knot
+as it did the first.</p>

+Josephine picot or purl, as it is also called in tatting,
+consists of a series of single or half knots formed of the first
+knot only. These picots may be made of 4 or 5 knots, as in
+fig. <a href="#fig_490">490</a>, or of 10 or 12 knots, as in fig. <a href="#fig_491">491</a>.</p>

+as shown in fig. <a href="#fig_494">494</a>, and a short length of thread between the
+knots; finish the second half knot and when you have pulled
+it up, join it to the preceding knot. In this manner the picot
+represented in fig. <a href="#fig_495">495</a> is formed quite naturally.</p>

+
+<p>In every kind of tatting the knot that comes after the picot
+is independent of the loop.</p>
+
+<p>Thus if the directions say: 2 knots, 1 picot, 3 knots, 1 picot,
+2 knots, etc., you must count the knot that served to form the
+loop and not make: 2 knots, 1 picot, 4 knots, etc. To join the
+different rings, ovals, etc., together by means of picots, take up
+the thread that runs over the left hand with a crochet needle,
+inserting it into the picot downwards from above, draw the
+thread through and pull it up like any other knot.</p>
+
+<p><b>Tatting with two shuttles</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_496">496</a>).&mdash;Two shuttles are
+used in tatting when the little rings are not to be connected
+together at the bottom by a thread, when you want to hide the
+<a name="Page_331" id="Page_331"></a>passage of the thread to another group of knots and when
+threads of several colours are used.</p>

+
+<p>When you work with two shuttles, tie the two threads together.
+Pass one thread over the third finger of the left hand,
+wind it twice round the fourth finger and leave the shuttle
+hanging down.</p>
+
+<p>Pass the second shuttle into the right hand and make the
+same movements with it as you do in working with one shuttle
+only.</p>

+<h2><a name="Macrame" id="Macrame"></a>Macram&eacute;.</h2>
+<hr style="width: 15%;" />
+
+
+<p>Macram&eacute; is an Arabic word, signifying an ornamental fringe
+or trimming, which has been adopted as the term for a certain
+kind of hand-work, known also as &laquo;knotted fringe&raquo; or
+&laquo;Mexican lace&raquo; and produced by the knotting, interweaving
+and tying together of threads.</p>
+
+<p>We have given the preference to the Arabic name because
+of its less definite meaning, seeing that not only fringe and lace,
+but trimmings of all kinds, in the shape of bands and stripes
+and headings, can be worked in macram&eacute;.</p>
+
+<p>Until its revival about ten years ago, when it was regarded
+by many as a new invention, the art of macram&eacute; making had
+for centuries become almost extinct and save here and there
+in the convents, was quite unknown.</p>
+
+<p>The multitude of uses to which it can be turned as a trimming,
+the infinite variety it admits of and its great durability
+and strength, make macram&eacute; well worth a study; the difficulties
+that repel many at first sight are only on the surface and
+any one who carefully follows the instructions given in the
+following pages, will soon overcome them and be able without
+pains to copy the charming designs that accompany them,
+which remind us of the wooden lattices in the windows of
+Eastern houses, doubtless familiar to many of our readers,
+under the name of <i>moucharabieh</i>.</p><p><a name="Page_344" id="Page_344"></a></p>
+
+<p><b><a name="Materials" id="Materials"></a>Materials.</b>&mdash;These may be of almost any kind; silk, gold
+thread, cord, wool or cotton, can all be employed with good
+effect. Almost any of the D.M.C cottons can be used for macram&eacute;;
+but the ones especially to be recommended are: Fil &agrave;
+dentelle D.M.C<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a>, Cordonnet 6 fils D.M.C<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a> and Coton &agrave;
+broder D.M.C<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a> for the finer kinds of work, and for the coarser,
+Fil &agrave; pointer D.M.C<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a>, Coton &agrave; tricoter D.M.C<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a> and Ganse
+turque D.M.C<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a>. The twist in all these is so regular as to
+admit of a high degree of perfection being attained with them:
+they are moreover very agreeable to the touch, a great recommendation
+considering how much they have to be handled by
+the worker.</p>
+
+<p><b>Macram&eacute; cushion and other accessories</b> (figs. <a href="#fig_513">513</a> and
+<a href="#fig_514">514</a>).&mdash;The only really important requisite for macram&eacute; work
+is the cushion, which should be well stuffed, and weighted
+with lead (fig. <a href="#fig_513">513</a>). It is convenient to have it made to screw
+on to a table like the Swiss tambour frames. There are other
+kinds of macram&eacute; cushions but none, in our opinion, as practical
+as these because any pattern can be worked upon them
+and patterns that have a heading or a border of picots can not
+be worked on any others. The pegs at the ends of the cushion
+<a name="Page_345" id="Page_345"></a>are for fixing and winding the long threads upon, which carry
+the knots, and which we shall in future call &laquo;cords&raquo;.</p>

+<span class="caption smcap">Fig. 513. Macram&eacute; cushion.</span>

+
+<p>For making long lengths of macram&eacute; fringe, metal clamps,
+with round-headed pegs attached to them top and bottom, to
+fasten the cords to, as represented in fig. <a href="#fig_514">514</a>, will be found
+far better than a cushion, as any number of threads can be
+knotted on to them at a time by pushing them more or less
+closely together on the cord.</p>

+</div>
+
+<p>Besides the cushion and clamps, you will require, some big
+glass-headed pins, made expressly for the purpose, a crochet
+needle for pulling the threads through the stuff when they have
+to be knotted on to an edge, and a French m&egrave;tre or yard
+measure to measure the threads with; to these implements
+may further be added, scissors and a metal comb and ruler
+for cutting and straightening the ends of the threads.</p>
+
+<p>The length of the threads must depend on their substance
+and size; that is to say, that a knot will take up more of a
+coarse stiff thread than of a fine pliable one, on which account,
+to avoid the necessity of preliminary trials, the right length of
+thread, for the quality and size of material, is given with each
+pattern. If, for any reason, our workers should not follow the
+directions given, they must bear in mind that the thicker and
+stiffer the material, the more they will have to allow for the
+knots and vice versa.</p>
+
+<p><b><a name="Formation_of_the_knots" id="Formation_of_the_knots"></a>Formation of the knots</b>.&mdash;Beginners must be careful, in
+macram&eacute; as in tatting, not to move or slacken the cord, or
+horizontal thread that carries the knots. The knots made by
+the &laquo;knotting-thread&raquo;, as it will be called in future, consist of
+<a name="Page_346" id="Page_346"></a>loops formed over the cord and then tightened. The knotting-thread
+and the cord are constantly changing places, as you
+work, loops having to be made now with the one and now
+with the other.</p>
+
+<p><b>Knotting on the threads</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_515">515</a>).&mdash;Excepting when you
+work with the threads of a material obtained by unravelling and
+drawing out the cross threads, you
+must knot on lengths of thread on to
+a cord; cut them double the length
+the fringe is to be and fold them in
+half, so as to form a loop by means
+of which you attach them to the
+cord, in the following manner. Put
+the loop over the cord from the front and bring it back underneath,
+put the ends down through the loop, detail <i>a</i>, and
+tighten it, detail <i>b</i>, as shown in the engraving.</p>

+
+<p><b>Knotting on the threads on to a stuff edge and formation
+of a flat double knot</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_516">516</a>).&mdash;Push your crochet needle
+through the edge of the stuff from the right to the wrong side
+and catch hold of the loop, formed by the folding in half of
+the thread that is to be knotted on; pull it out to the right
+side, put the ends through, and tighten the loop, detail <i>a</i>. Detail
+<i>b</i> shows two double threads, knotted on near to each other in
+this way, and the first tying together of the two outer threads
+for the flat knot which is formed as follows: you take the two
+outer of the four threads hanging down and cross the right hand
+<a name="Page_347" id="Page_347"></a>one under, and the left hand one over the two centre threads.
+Whilst doing this, hold the inner ones tightly stretched out on
+the 3rd and 4th fingers
+of the left hand, detail <i>b</i>.
+The manner in which
+the two threads are
+brought back and tied
+together again is shown
+in detail <i>c</i>; the drawing
+up of the threads completes
+the so-called flat
+double knot, detail <i>d</i>.
+Detail <i>e</i>, of the same figure, shows two flat double knots, side

+Make the second row of knots in

+square, in that of a double one, 4 double knots, two in the first
+and two in the second row.</p>
+
+<p>After knotting the threads together, two and two, and pinning
+them to the cushion, see letter <i>a</i>, make 2 single chains with

+Make a group of bars with the red threads and cross them 3
+times, then finish with a handsome tassel and join the white
+threads together all round the square with tassels. In the case

+<p>For the groups of bars on either side
+<a name="Page_392" id="Page_392"></a>of the shell, take the 11th, 12th, 13th and 14th double thread
+on the left, and the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th on the right. These

+<p>Knot the 4 threads of the left group over the cord on the

+2 buttonhole bars with the next thread over
+the 4th thread, then finish the 3rd and 4th
+bar of knots.</p>
+
+<p>To make the olive-shaped group of knots
+on both sides, take the threads, that come
+out from the shells, as cords. Fig. <a href="#fig_605">605</a> shows
+the adding on of the first supplementary
+thread, fig. <a href="#fig_606">606</a>, that of 12 more which, knotted
+on to the first, form with it, the group
+of bars on the diagonal corner line. The knots,
+of which the next large shell is composed, are
+made with 2 more supplementary threads
+and one thread from the preceding figure. Add
+on 2 more supplementary threads to the
+disengaged threads, which 4 then serve as
+cords for the groups of bars, left and right.</p>
+
+<p>The 4th group of bars which forms the
+corner of the fringe, is made on the 4 threads
+that come from the large shell, on to which
+the fourth set of 12 supplementary threads is
+knotted.</p>
+
+<p>The pattern ends at the bottom with a
+half star, and a double bar; beneath these,
+large scallops are added, consisting of 2 half stars, 4 ovals, 1
+whole star and 2 ovals.</p>
+
+<p>All the threads that come from the groups are then collected
+<a name="Page_393" id="Page_393"></a>at the top of the scallops and overcast with strong thread, so
+as to form a thick round
+cord along the edges of the
+scallops, widening towards
+the point, as more and more
+threads are taken in. At the
+point, these threads are
+knotted into a big tassel
+with another bunch of supplementary

+them. The other small tassels,

+made separately and then
+fastened on.</p>
+
+<p>The fringe is further
+ornamented by large knotted
+tassels, introduced between
+the scallops, for which, a
+large knotted berry, fig. <a href="#fig_590">590</a>,
+over 21 cords, has first to be made.</p>
+
+<p>Collect the 21 threads all together, to
+begin with; then make: 2 rows of knots
+over 12 threads, 1 over 15, 3 over 21, 1
+over 15 and 2 over 12; then cut the ends
+of the 21 threads to the same length, and
+turn them inwards, to fill up the hollow
+space inside the berry, stuffing it besides,
+if necessary, with wadding to make it perfectly
+firm and hard and sewing it together
+at the ends.</p>
+
+<p>To this you attach 5 large and 6 small
+pendants; the smaller ones are begun with
+a Chinese knot, figs. <a href="#fig_607">607</a> and <a href="#fig_609">609</a>, which
+terminates in a double chain, formed into a
+ring knot.</p>

+<h2><a name="Netting" id="Netting"></a>Netting.</h2>
+<hr style="width: 15%;" />
+
+
+<p>Netting is a handicraft, so ancient that it would be difficult
+to trace it to its origin, or determine the date of its invention.
+There is evidence to show that the making of nets for fishing
+and game catching was as familiar to the earlier races of mankind
+as it is to us.</p>
+
+<p>Practised in the first instance for the wants of life, it by
+degrees developed into an art, in conjunction with embroidery,
+to which it was made to serve as a foundation. The netting of
+every country, almost, has a distinctive character of its own:
+that of Persia is known by its fine silken meshes and rich
+gold and silver embroidery; that of Italy, by the varied size
+and shape of its meshes and a resemblance in the style of its
+embroidery to the Punto tagliato; whilst the netting of
+France, known by the name of Cluny guipure, consists of a
+groundwork of fine meshes with stiff close designs embroidered
+upon it, outlined in coarse glazed thread.</p>
+
+<p>Netting, which divides itself under two headings, netting
+proper, or plain netting and net embroidery, has never yet
+gone out of fashion and places are still to be found where the
+entire population is engaged in this industry.</p>
+
+<p><b><a name="Plain_netting" id="Plain_netting"></a>Plain netting and the implements used in netting</b>
+(figs. <a href="#fig_611">611</a>, <a href="#fig_612">612</a>, <a href="#fig_613">613</a>).&mdash;Plain netting consists of loops, secured
+and rendered independent of one another by knots. For forming
+and tightening these loops and knots the following implements<a name="Page_396" id="Page_396"></a>
+are necessary; in the first place, a netting needle; these
+are generally made of steel, split and flattened at both ends,
+with a hole bored through them below the fork at the one
+end, in which the thread, fig. <a href="#fig_611">611</a>, is secured, before it is
+wound on lengthwise between the forks. They are numbered
+as to size like knitting needles. There are netting needles likewise
+of bone, ivory, wood and tortoise-shell for twine and thick
+materials; these are without hole, fig. <a href="#fig_612">612</a>.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 500px;">

+<a name="fig_612" id="fig_612"></a><span class="caption smcap">Fig. 612. Netting needle of ivory.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>The thread must be wound on very tightly, and not too
+much of it at a time, that the needle may slip easily through
+the loops. The mesh, or spool, fig. <a href="#fig_613">613</a>, whether of ivory, bone,
+steel or wood, should be smooth and round and of the same
+thickness throughout, so that the loops, made upon it, may be
+all of one size and easily slipped off.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 600px;">
+<img src="images/624.jpg"  alt="FIG. 613. MESH OR SPOOL OF IVORY." title="" />
+<a name="fig_613" id="fig_613"></a><span class="caption smcap">Fig. 613. Mesh or spool of ivory.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>For long loops a flat mesh is best, and in all cases, the
+needle and mesh should be selected with a view, both to the
+material employed, and the size of loop required.</p>
+
+<p>In addition to these two implements, a cushion, weighted
+with lead will be required, to pin the foundation loop to, on
+which the first row of netting is worked.</p>
+
+<p><b>Materials suitable for netting.</b>&mdash;These, of course depend
+on the purpose of the netting: silk, twine, wool and cotton,
+can all be used and each possesses its advantages and disadvantages.
+Silk has the finest gloss but when it is strongly twisted
+it is very apt to knot, and when loosely twisted, does not make
+firm knots. It is difficult to get linen thread with a smooth
+uniform twist and moreover it soon frays in the working; wool
+is too elastic a fibre and is unsuitable for washing purposes,
+cotton remains therefore, in every respect the most desirable
+material, being both smooth and uniformly twisted; as qualities,
+<a name="Page_397" id="Page_397"></a>more especially adapted for netting we may mention the following:
+Fil &agrave; pointer D.M.C, Cordonnet 6 fils D.M.C (crochet
+cotton), Fil &agrave; dentelle D.M.C (lace thread), and even Coton
+&agrave; tricoter D.M.C<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a> (knitting cotton).</p>
+
+<p><b><a name="Netting_stitches" id="Netting_stitches"></a>Netting stitches</b>.&mdash;The loops are always the same&mdash;four-cornered
+whether they be square or oblong&mdash;and connected
+together, though secured and rendered independent of one
+another by knots. By different ways of passing the thread over
+the mesh and connecting the loops together, the following
+stitches are produced: 1� plain loop, 2� double loop, 3� oblong
+loop, 4� honeycomb loop, 5� twisted loop.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 600px;">
+<img src="images/625.jpg"  alt="FIG. 614. FIRST POSITION OF THE HANDS." title="" />
+<a name="fig_614" id="fig_614"></a><span class="caption smcap">Fig. 614. First position of the hands.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p><b>1� Plain loop. First position of the hands</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_614">614</a>).&mdash;Every
+kind of netting requires a foundation loop, from 10 to
+20 c/m. long, made either of Cordonnet 6 fils D.M.C Nos. 3 to
+10, or Fil &agrave; pointer D.M.C No. 10<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a>, which is pinned to the
+<a name="Page_398" id="Page_398"></a>cushion. Fasten the working thread to the foundation loop;
+then take the mesh in the left hand, holding it between the
+thumb and forefinger, with the other fingers extended beneath.
+Take the needle filled with thread in the right hand and pass
+the thread downwards over the mesh and over the second,
+third and fourth fingers, inside, carry it up behind the third
+finger and lay it to the left under the thumb by which it has to
+be held fast.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 600px;">
+<img src="images/626.jpg"  alt="FIG. 615. SECOND POSITION OF THE HANDS." title="" />
+<a name="fig_615" id="fig_615"></a><span class="caption smcap">Fig. 615. Second position of the hands.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p><b>Second and third position of the hands</b> (figs. <a href="#fig_615">615</a> and
+<a href="#fig_616">616</a>).&mdash;Carry the thread down behind the second, third, fourth
+and fifth fingers, and put the needle through the loop on the
+fingers and behind the mesh, through the foundation loop,
+thus forming a second loop, which you hold back with the
+little finger of the left hand. Then gradually drawing up the
+thread that runs from the mesh, let go the loop held down
+by the thumb; then by degrees let go also, the loop which lies
+over the second, third and fourth fingers, still holding the last
+loop fast with the little finger; finally you release this too and
+pull up the knot thus formed close to the mesh with the right
+hand. This completes the stitch. The next stitches are made
+<a name="Page_399" id="Page_399"></a>in the same way; whether they are to serve for casting on or
+for a netted foundation. The mesh is drawn out at the end
+of each row, the work turned and the mesh held beneath the
+last row, in readiness for the next, in making which you pass
+your needle through each loop. These diamond-shaped loops
+form a diagonal net.</p>

+</div>
+
+<p><b>2� Double loop</b>.&mdash;To make a double loop put the thread
+two or three times round the mesh.</p>
+
+<p><b>3� Oblong loop</b>.&mdash;For oblong loops, the knots must be
+made a little distance from the mesh.</p>
+
+<p><b>4� Honeycomb loop</b>.&mdash;Make an oblong loop, pass the
+thread round the fingers, but not over the mesh as in plain
+netting, put the needle, not into the loop of the previous row,
+but between the loop, just made. The knot which is made
+in the same way as in plain netting, must be drawn close up
+to the mesh; the two threads of the loop should lie side by side
+on the mesh. The loops in honeycomb netting are six-sided.</p>
+
+<p><b>5� Twisted loops</b>.&mdash;Pass the thread, as in plain netting,
+over the mesh and fingers, but before letting the thread which
+<a name="Page_400" id="Page_400"></a>is under the thumb go, pass the needle from right to left under
+the loop you are making and the thread, and only then draw
+up the knot.</p>
+
+<p>Although in netting the loops cannot be formed in as many
+different ways as in knitting or crochet,
+they admit of a certain variety,
+as the following explanations will
+show.</p>
+
+<p><b><a name="Patterns_produced_in_netting" id="Patterns_produced_in_netting"></a>Patterns produced in netting
+by using meshes of different
+widths.</b>&mdash;Plain netting can be varied
+by making one row of loops over a
+large mesh and one over a small
+one, or several rows over the large
+and several over the small, alternately,
+changing the meshes at regular intervals.</p>
+
+<p><b>Patterns produced in netting by increasing
+and decreasing</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_617">617</a>).&mdash;Patterns
+of this kind are made by netting
+the meshes together in regular sequence
+and taking up as many meshes as you have
+netted together, or vice versa. You may
+increase and decrease in the same rows, or
+at an interval of so many rows.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 250px;">

+<a name="fig_617" id="fig_617"></a><span class="caption smcap">Fig. 617. Patterns produced in
+netting by increasing and decreasing.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>Two sizes of thread should be used for
+this patterns. To show the relation they
+should bear to one another, we instance:
+Fil &agrave; pointer D.M.C No. 30 with Fil &agrave; dentelle
+D.M.C No. 50<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a>, or Coton &agrave; tricoter D.M.C Nos. 14
+and 30<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a>, with Coton &agrave; tricoter D.M.C No. 50<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a>, or Coton
+&agrave; repriser D.M.C No. 25 with No. 100.<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a></p>
+
+<p>Begin by 3 rows of plain netting with the finer thread over
+the small mesh, followed by one row with the coarser thread
+over the large mesh; then, with the coarse thread over the large
+mesh, one row, in which you net every two loops together
+<a name="Page_401" id="Page_401"></a>and one row, with two loops in every
+one, so that the number of loops remains
+the same. These are followed
+by 3 rows of plain netting with the
+fine thread on the small mesh.</p>
+
+<p><b>Loose loops in clusters</b> (figs.
+<a href="#fig_618">618</a> and <a href="#fig_619">619</a>).&mdash;These clusters of
+loose loops are made in the following
+manner:</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 475px;">
+<a name="fig_618" id="fig_618"></a><a name="fig_619" id="fig_619"></a>

+</div>
+</div>
+
+<p>1st row&mdash;one loop, the knot of
+which must be a little distance from
+the mesh; put the thread over the mesh
+and the needle through the loop where the knot is; repeat
+this three or four times, making the loops all of the same length.
+Then unite all the loops with one knot, carrying the needle
+from right to left, round the loops, instead of putting it through
+the loop of the previous row.</p>
+
+<p>2nd row&mdash;make one
+loop over each loop of
+the first row, leaving out
+the loops that form the
+cluster.</p>
+
+<p>As may be gathered
+from the drawing, many
+different patterns can be
+worked upon the netting
+in this manner.</p>
+
+<p><b>Netting composed
+of plain, double and
+oblong loops</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_620">620</a>).&mdash;Netting
+composed of
+large and small loops is
+the kind generally used
+as a groundwork for embroidery. The loops of it are straight;
+diamond netting will serve the same purpose, but as it is less
+commonly used we have given the preference to the straight.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 350px;">
+<img src="images/631.jpg"  alt="FIG. 620. NETTING COMPOSED OF PLAIN, DOUBLE
+AND OBLONG LOOPS." title="" />
+<a name="fig_620" id="fig_620"></a><span class="caption smcap">Fig. 620. Netting composed of plain, double
+and oblong loops.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>The whole first row consists of a double and a plain loop
+alternately; the second, entirely of oblong loops, which are
+<a name="Page_402" id="Page_402"></a>made by passing the thread only once over the mesh, and so,
+that in netting on the double loop, the knot is brought close
+to the needle, where as, in netting the plain loop, it hangs free;
+so that, as shown in fig. <a href="#fig_620">620</a>,
+all the loops of the 2nd row
+are of the same length. In the
+3rd row, which is like the
+first, the plain loops should
+come between the small holes
+and the double ones between
+the large holes.</p>
+
+<p><b>Circular netting composed
+of long and short
+loops</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_621">621</a>).&mdash;Make thirty
+or thirty one loops over a large
+mesh with a very stout material, such as Fil &agrave; pointer
+D.M.C No. 20, or a double thread of Cordonnet 6 fils D.M.C
+No. 30, then draw up the thread on which the loops are
+strung, as tightly as possible, so as to form quite a small ring
+for the centre, and fasten off.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 300px;">

+<a name="fig_621" id="fig_621"></a><span class="caption smcap">Fig. 621. Circular netting composed of
+long and short loops.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>For the next row, also made in coarse thread, fasten the
+thread on to a long loop and make one loop into each loop of
+the first row, over a small mesh. Use the same mesh for all
+the subsequent rows, which should
+be worked in a finer thread, such as
+Cordonnet 6 fils D.M.C No. 50 or 60.</p>
+
+<p>If you want to avoid fastening
+on the thread afresh for each row,
+make a loop over the thumb.</p>
+
+<p><b>Making loops over the thumb</b>.&mdash;Put
+the thread, as for a plain loop
+over the mesh and fingers, and put
+the needle through the loop, likewise
+as for a plain loop, but before tightening
+the knot, draw the mesh out
+of the loop just made and make it exactly as long as the
+loop above.</p>
+
+<p><b>Circular netting formed by increases</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_622">622</a>).&mdash;Make
+10 loops on the foundation loop,
+close the ring, then go on, making a
+row with one knot in the first loop
+and two knots in the second, until
+the net attains the right circumference;

+<p><b>Straight netting with a scalloped edge</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_629">629</a>).&mdash;The

+by a square. After making two loops on the foundation loop,
+make rows with increases, until you have the required number
+of loops. Then make an increase in every row to the left and
+leave the last loop empty in every row to the right. Continu<a name="Page_405" id="Page_405"></a>ing

+loops as for an ordinary square of netting, letter <i>a</i>, increase them
+to double the number required
+for the border. Thus, for example,
+if the border is to consist
+of 3 squares, you make 6
+loops, then leave 3 loops empty
+on the left and continue to
+work to the right and decrease
+to the left, up to the dotted line

+loops left.</p>
+
+<p>To reach the next scallop, pass the netting-needle through
+each hole of the net and round each thread.</p>
+
+<p>Finish off the scallops with a row of plain netting, made
+with a coarser thread than the foundation.</p>
+
+<p>These netted edgings are generally made in unbleached
+cotton, because the patterns afterwards embroidered upon
+them in coarse, white knitting or darning cotton, show best
+upon it. The thread for this purpose should be used double,
+and the pattern worked in darning stitches, made over 8
+squares of the netting; the 8th knot is then encircled by a loop
+and the thread carried down over 8 squares and a loop again
+<a name="Page_409" id="Page_409"></a>made round the 8th knot. After making 4 rows of stitches
+on the netting, cut 3 bars between the rows of white stitches.</p>
+
+<p>The row of openwork produced in this way has a very
+good effect and greatly improves the look of the lace.</p>
+
+<p><b>Netted fringe</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_633">633</a>).&mdash;Plain netting, pretty as it is,
+looks rather poor, unless ornamented with embroidery of some
+kind. The double netting, illustrated in fig. <a href="#fig_633">633</a>, will prove a

+
+<p>Into every fourth of these chain stitches, net one loop,

+and make the knot in the middle of the 3 chain stitches, so
+that the 2 loops of netting cross each other.</p>
+
+<p>In the second, or rather the third row, the knots are again
+made first into the
+front loops, into those
+of the first row that

+into those of the second
+row.</p>
+
+<p>When the stripe
+is sufficiently wide,

+of the tassel should come.</p>
+
+<p><b>Embroidered netting.</b>&mdash;Embroidered netting, also known
+as Filet Guipure, Cluny Guipure, and Richelieu Guipure, is
+a netted ground, with patterns of one kind or another, worked
+upon it in a variety of stitches.</p>
+
+<p><b>Implements required for embroidered netting.</b>&mdash;Be<a name="Page_410" id="Page_410"></a>sides

+
+<p><b>Wire frame for

+(fig. <a href="#fig_634">634</a>).&mdash;The frame
+on which the net is
+stretched should be
+made of strong iron
+wire, that will not bend
+in the using. In shape,
+it may be square or
+oblong, according to
+whether squares or edgings
+are to be made
+upon it, but the sides
+must be straight, so
+that the net can be
+evenly stretched.</p>

+
+<p>This wire frame
+must be covered, first
+with wadding or tow,
+as shown in fig. <a href="#fig_634">634</a>,
+and then with silk
+ribbon, which must be
+wound tightly round it,
+and more particularly

+</div>
+
+<p>The tape must be very tightly held in the sewing, so
+that it even forms little gathers all round; this will help you
+to stretch the netting in mounting it without injuring it, and
+is especially necessary when the netting is not quite evenly
+made. Fig. <a href="#fig_636">636</a> shows how the tape is sewn on, the fold that
+has to be made at the corners, and the way to fix the netting
+into the frame.</p>
+
+<p>Long stripes or large pieces of work, can be mounted on
+waxcloth, but we cannot recommend shortening the preparatory
+work in this manner, as the squares of netting are never so
+regular as when they are made in a frame.</p>
+
+<p><b>Materials for embroidered netting</b>.&mdash;Thick threads with
+a strong twist are the best for darned, or embroidered netting,
+such as Cordonnet 6 fils D.M.C<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a> (crochet cotton), or Fil &agrave;
+dentelle D.M.C<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a> (lace thread).</p>
+
+<p>There are however certain old kinds of embroidered netting
+made in soft loose silk, for imitating which it is best to use,
+Coton &agrave; repriser D.M.C<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a> that being quite the best substitute
+for the original material.</p>
+
+<p><b>The stitches used for embroidered netting</b>.&mdash;These
+are so multifarious and admit of so many different combinations,
+that not a few of them seeing that be quite new to our readers,
+willsome we have never yet come across in any book on
+the subject that has come under our notice.</p>
+
+<p><b>Ordinary darning stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_637">637</a>).&mdash;The simplest stitch
+of all for covering a netted ground is the ordinary darning
+stitch; drawing the thread, that is to say, in and out of the
+number of squares, prescribed by the pattern, and backwards
+and forwards as many times as is necessary to fill them up.</p>

+
+<p>The number of stitches depends, to a certain extent, on the

+you will have to make more stitches than with one of the

+
+<p>This is the stitch generally used for reproducing a cross
+stitch pattern on a netted ground and is especially to be recommended
+for covering large surfaces, curtains, counterpanes and

+well.</p>
+
+<p><b>Linen stitch</b> (figs. <a href="#fig_638">638</a> and <a href="#fig_639">639</a>).&mdash;This is the stitch most

+<p>Fasten on the thread to a knot of the netting and carry it
+<a name="Page_413" id="Page_413"></a>twice to and fro, over and under the threads of the netting, so
+that at the end of the row, every second thread passes under
+and over the thread of the netting, as it is carried upwards again.</p>
+
+<p>This constitutes the first layer of threads, the second completes
+the linen stitch and is made in the same way, only across
+the first, alternately taking up and missing a thread as is done,
+in darning. The thread may also be carried both ways over the
+threads of the squares. In this case you must draw an uneven
+number of threads through the squares, otherwise the crossing
+of the threads will be irregular in the last square.</p>
+
+<p><b>Linen stitch. Formation of the corners</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_640">640</a>).&mdash;When
+linen stitch is used for the border of a pattern, and a
+corner has to be formed, you begin by carrying the threads
+over a given number of squares. This first layer, especially
+in the case of long stripes, must be kept very slack, and to ensure
+the threads being all of the same length, lay a fine mesh or a
+thick knitting needle at one end and stretch the threads over it.
+After carrying the second layer across a few squares, take
+away the mesh or needle. The threads of the first layer become
+gradually shorter, from the passage of the cross threads in
+and out between them, and end by being just long enough to
+prevent the last embroidered squares from being too tightly
+stretched.</p>

+
+<p><b>Loop stitch (point d'esprit)</b> (figs. <a href="#fig_641">641</a> and <a href="#fig_642">642</a>).&mdash;This
+is a light open stitch, chiefly used for making a less transparent
+foundation than plain netting. Fasten the thread to the middle
+of one bar of the netting, then make a loose loop to the middle of
+the top bar of the same square, fig. <a href="#fig_641">641</a>, by carrying the thread,
+from left to right, over one vertical and one horizontal bar of
+the net and inserting the needle downwards from above under

+star covers 16 squares of netting. Fasten the thread to the
+middle knot of the 16 squares, then carry it diagonally over
+4 squares, three times from left to right under a knot of the

+direction of the little arrow in the illustration, you cover the
+<a name="Page_415" id="Page_415"></a>netting with 3 horizontal and 3
+vertical threads, carried over 4
+squares. When you have laid the
+vertical threads, slip the needle
+4 or 5 times round in a circle, under

+<p><b>Darning stitch (point de reprise)</b> (figs. <a href="#fig_646">646</a> and <a href="#fig_647">647</a>).&mdash;Little
+flowers and leaves are generally executed in this stitch;
+the first course of the thread is shown in fig. <a href="#fig_646">646</a>. Leaves can
+be made with one, two or three veins. Carry the needle, invariably
+from the middle, first to the right and then to the left,
+under the threads of the foundation and push the stitches close
+together, as they are made, with the point of your needle. This
+you will be able to do most easily by holding the work so as
+to make the stitches towards you.</p>

+
+<p>For a leaf with only one division or vein, like the left leaf

+<a name="Page_416" id="Page_416"></a>run it, over and under, either one, or two threads (see the
+right leaf in fig. <a href="#fig_646">646</a>).</p>
+
+<p>In working leaves of this kind in darning stitch, you must
+draw your stitches at the top and bottom of the leaf rather
+tighter than in the middle, so as to give them the proper shape.
+If you wish to make them very slender at the bottom, you can
+finish them off with a few overcasting stitches.</p>

+
+<p><b>Pointed scallops in darning stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_648">648</a>).&mdash;The simplest
+way to work these scallops is to carry a thread, as shown
+in the illustration, to and fro over the square, from the knot in
+one corner to the middle of the bar above and downwards to
+the opposite knot, round which the thread is carried and passed
+upwards again to the middle. As the scallop must always be
+begun from the top, you will have, two foundation threads on
+one side and three on the other. Here likewise, you must
+push the threads as closely together as possible with the needle.</p>

+<p><b>Pointed scallops in buttonhole stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_649">649</a>).&mdash;Another
+quite as pretty and easy way of working pointed scallops
+on a netted foundation is by making two buttonhole stitches
+before crossing to the opposite side. As shown in the foregoing
+illustration, you begin by stretching single or double foundation
+threads across; then beginning at the point, you make,
+alternately right and left, 2 buttonhole stitches over the foundation
+threads, so that the working thread is only carried across
+to the opposite side after every second stitch.</p><p><a name="Page_417" id="Page_417"></a></p>

+<p><b>Veined pointed scallops</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_650">650</a>).&mdash;A third way of making
+pointed scallops is by first stretching a thread to and fro across
+the middle of the square, after which you slip the needle from
+left to right under the middle thread, and underneath the
+left bar from above. Then you carry the needle, from right to
+left, over the foundation thread and under the right bar and
+so on. The one thread must be drawn tightly round the other,
+in order that the stitches may form close and evenly shaped
+veins, like small cords, on the wrong side of the scallop. There
+must be enough stitches to completely cover the foundation
+thread that crosses the middle of the square.</p>

+
+<p><b>Pointed scallops in Venetian stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_651">651</a>).&mdash;The
+prettiest scallops of all are those worked in Venetian stitch.
+You begin, by making from 8 to 10 buttonhole stitches over
+one bar of the netting, then you work on with the same stitch
+backwards and forwards, making one stitch less in each row,
+until you come to the one which forms the point of the scallop
+and is fastened to the bar above; you carry the working thread
+back on the wrong side to the lower bar, and then under the
+buttonhole stitches to the next square of the netting. Scallops
+worked in this manner, can be overcast round the edges in

+make wheels or spiders, as they are also called, you have first
+to fasten the thread to the middle knot of four squares, thence
+you carry it diagonally right and left, fig. <a href="#fig_652">652</a>, right detail,
+across the empty squares of netting and the knot, and return
+<a name="Page_418" id="Page_418"></a>to the middle, overcasting your first thread by the way, so as
+to form a closely twisted cord. This is called cording a thread.</p>

+along the little spoke, opposite to the single thread, and through
+the wheel, and the single thread is corded like the others.</p>
+
+<p><b>Ribbed wheels</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_654">654</a>).&mdash;Make the foundation of the
+wheels as before, over 8 threads. To form the ribs at the back
+of the wheels, see fig. <a href="#fig_654">654</a>; make a back stitch, on the right

+<a name="Page_421" id="Page_421"></a>both ways are represented in the illustration. In the latter case
+you can use the same thread as for the linen stitch, or if you
+wish the setting to be very pronounced, a thicker one. For
+instance, if the netting be made of Cordonnet 6 fils D.M.C
+No. 25<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a> we recommend Fil &agrave; pointer D.M.C No. 15 or 20<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a>
+for the setting. This difference of material is especially noticeable
+in the old Cluny Guipure, where the figures worked
+in linen stitch are edged
+with a thread like a cord.
+But if the linen stitch be bound
+with cord stitch, the same
+thread must be used for it, as

+Canevas, which is an exact
+imitation of the finest hand-made
+netting. The centre part
+of the pattern in fig. <a href="#fig_682">682</a>, is worked in rows of horizontal

+</div>
+
+<p>After several experiments, the best result has been arrived
+at, and the Turkish cord in which the original is made, has
+now been manufactured for netting purposes, as well as for
+other kinds of decorative work, already alluded to, and referred
+to again later on.</p>
+
+<p>The first foundation, that is, the actual netting, for a thing
+of this kind, should be made in white or &eacute;cru thread, with very
+small meshes; the pattern itself is embroidered on the netting
+with Ganse turque D.M.C No. 12; this material, &eacute;cru and
+gold mixed, gives the work a glittering and peculiarly elegant
+appearance, unobtainable in any other.</p>
+
+<p>The execution is extremely easy, it being worked entirely
+in darning stitch; but the drawing should be copied with great
+accuracy and the wide braid very carefully sewn on with close
+stitches round the squares, which are filled in with darning
+stitches made in Ganse turque No. 12.</p>
+
+<p>Any netting pattern can be copied in this braid, and the
+simplest piece of work of the kind is worth mounting on a rich
+foundation of silk, brocade, velvet or plush. To give a single
+example, the insertion here described and illustrated, was
+mounted on slate-blue plush and has been universally admired.</p>

+<h2><a name="IRISH_LACE" id="IRISH_LACE"></a>Irish Lace.</h2>
+<hr style="width: 15%;" />
+
+
+<p>Irish lace, also known under the name of Renaissance lace,
+from its having been first made in the sixteenth century, is an
+imitation of the earliest pillow laces; it ought, properly speaking,
+to be called French lace, having been invented in France
+and thence introduced into England and Ireland.</p>
+
+<p>It is composed of braid or tape, formed into figures, joined
+together by needlemade, corded or buttonhole bars and fillings
+of different kinds, or by bars alone.</p>
+
+<p>The lace stitches and bars are almost the same as those used
+in fine Venetian point, but they are executed in a coarser material
+so that this section of our work may be considered as a
+preparation for the different kinds of lace, to be described in
+the next chapter.</p>
+
+<p><b><a name="Materials" id="Materials"></a>Materials</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_692">692</a>).&mdash;The braids used for making Irish
+lace are an English speciality and manufactured exclusively in
+England; they are very various in shade, width and thickness,
+and are to be had white, unbleached, grey and pale yellow,
+narrow and wide, coarse and fine in texture, with and without
+holes, open edge and picots, with large medallions and small.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 300px;">
+<img src="images/699.jpg"  alt="FIG. 692. PATTERNS OF THE DIFFERENT
+TAPES AND BRAIDS USED FOR IRISH LACE." title="" />
+<a name="fig_692" id="fig_692"></a><span class="caption smcap">Fig. 692. Patterns of the different
+tapes and braids used for irish lace.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>Fig. <a href="#fig_692">692</a> represents the kinds most commonly used, in their
+original size, together with a specimen picot, or purl, as they
+are called in England, for the outside edge, also to be had
+ready made, for those who do not care for the trouble of making
+them themselves.</p><p><a name="Page_440" id="Page_440"></a></p>
+
+<p>For the stitches and bars by which the braids are joined
+together, the best material is Fil &agrave; dentelle D.M.C,<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a> (lace
+thread) a smooth even thread, now made in every colour to
+match the braids.</p>
+
+<p><b>Transferring designs for Irish lace.</b>&mdash;The best way is
+to trace them on oiled tracing
+linen with a watery ink, free
+from greasy matter. This tracing
+linen, which is of English make,
+is white, glazed on one side only;
+the unglazed surface should be
+turned uppermost, as it takes the
+ink better.</p>
+
+<p>As this tracing linen is quite
+transparent, the pattern can be
+transferred to it at once without
+recourse to any other
+process.</p>
+
+<p>It will be found less trying
+for the eyes to lay a piece of
+transparent coloured paper, or
+stuff, under the pattern whilst
+you are copying it. The Irish lace
+designs are almost all drawn with
+double lines, between which
+the braid is tacked on with small
+back stitches. We may mention
+at once that it is advisable to
+make the stitches longer on the
+right side than on the other, or
+at any rate to make them of the
+same length.</p>
+
+<p><b><a name="Tacking_down" id="Tacking_down"></a>Tacking down and gathering in the braids</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_693">693</a>).&mdash;Where
+the lines of the pattern describe a curve or a circle, the
+outside edge of the braid, as shown in fig. <a href="#fig_693">693</a>, must be sewn
+down firmly, so as to form little folds or gathers on the inside
+<a name="Page_441" id="Page_441"></a>edge, which are first tacked down and then gathered in with
+small overcasting stitches in fine thread, so as to fit exactly to
+the pattern.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 600px;">
+<img src="images/700.jpg"  alt="FIG. 693. TACKING DOWN AND DRAWING IN THE BRAIDS." title="" />
+<a name="fig_693" id="fig_693"></a><span class="caption smcap">Fig. 693. Tacking down and drawing in the braids.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>The stitches, made for the bars and the fillings, must
+never be drawn so tightly as to drag out the edges of the
+braids and thus spoil the outlines of the pattern. Nor should
+the stitches be caught into the tracing cloth, but only rest
+upon it.</p>
+
+<p>When the embroidery is finished, turn the work the wrong
+side up, cut every second or third tacking stitch and pull the
+threads carefully out, from the wrong side, when the lace will
+separate itself from the backing without difficulty; it has
+then to be damped and ironed also on the wrong side. (See
+the concluding chapter on the different processes for finishing
+off needlework).</p>
+
+<p>It is of no consequence which are made first, the bars or
+the fillings; we however incline to the former, more especially
+in the case of buttonhole bars, as they are easier to do than
+the fillings and once done, there is less risk of puckering or
+drawing the edges together, in making the fillings.</p>
+
+<p><b><a name="The_stitches" id="The_stitches"></a>The stitches.</b>&mdash;We shall now proceed to describe a series
+of bars and stitches, which, if carefully studied, will serve as
+<a name="Page_442" id="Page_442"></a>a preparation for making all the finer kinds of laces described
+in the ensuing chapter.</p>
+
+<p>Without pretending to have exhausted the infinite variety
+of lace stitches that exists, we hope to have brought before
+our readers' notice a sufficiently numerous
+selection to satisfy all tastes and capacities.</p>
+
+<p>With regard to the names, the same
+stitches are known by so many different ones,
+that excepting in the case of those universally
+accepted, we have disregarded them
+altogether and merely numbered the stitches
+in their order.</p>
+
+<p><b>Plain twisted bar</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_694">694</a>).&mdash;Secure
+the thread to the braid and throw it across
+from one braid edge to the other, put the
+needle in downwards from above, and overcast
+the first thread, so as to form the two
+into a cord. If you do not make enough overcasting
+stitches to tighten the two threads,
+the bars will be loose and untidy and spoil
+the general appearance of the work.</p>

+they remain visible between the stitches.</p>
+

+</div>
+
+<p>In making this and the subsequent bars,
+we recommend turning the needle round and holding it as it
+were the reverse way, so that the eye not the point passes
+first under the threads; strange as it may seem, it is easier in
+this manner to avoid splitting the threads. The working thread
+should always issue from the edge of the braid, one or two
+threads before the foundation threads of the bar, to prevent
+the bars being of unequal width, or getting twisted at the
+beginning.</p><p><a name="Page_443" id="Page_443"></a></p>

+After covering half, or a third of the bar with buttonhole
+stitches, pass the thread without making a loop, under the
+foundation threads, and fasten the loop with a pin, fig. <a href="#fig_697">697</a>,
+then slip the needle, horizontally from right to left, under the
+3 threads and tighten the knot close to the
+last buttonhole stitch.</p>

+to the size of the thread, quite close to the
+pin, so that they entirely cover the loop. The
+pin must be stuck in the width of 4 stitches,
+distant from the bar, and the foundation threads should be

+<a name="Page_444" id="Page_444"></a>it through and tighten the thread, so that the spiral on the

+than half the bar with buttonhole stitches, carry the thread
+three times to the 6th stitch and back, then buttonhole these
+threads that are attached to the bar in the same way as the
+bar itself and finish the bar in the usual way.</p>
+
+<p>These buttonhole picots are generally used for edging lace;
+they may in their turn be adorned with small pinned picots to
+produce a richer effect.</p>

+threads, make double knots, far enough apart to leave
+room for the knots of the next row between.</p>
+
+<p>These double knots consist, in
+the first place, of one plain buttonhole
+stitch and then one reversed,
+that is, made by bringing the
+needle out in front of the thread
+and passing it under the loop; the
+result being that the thread will
+lie behind the thread and not before
+it, as in an ordinary buttonhole stitch.</p>
+
+<p><b>Branched bars</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_703">703</a>).&mdash;Where you have a larger surface
+<a name="Page_445" id="Page_445"></a>to cover with bars, you are generally obliged to make them
+with branches. For this purpose you prepare the threads as for
+an ordinary bar and cover them halfway with buttonhole
+stitches; then you carry on the foundation thread to the next
+bar, buttonhole it also halfway, lay the next foundation thread,
+and finally buttonhole all the half-covered bars till you reach
+the dotted line, from whence you lay the last foundation
+threads.</p>
+
+<p>The last bar is worked over 2 or 4 threads, so that the
+working thread can be taken back to the edge of the braid by
+means of the last buttonhole stitches.</p>

+
+<p><b>Plain Russian stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_704">704</a>).&mdash;Stitches of all kinds can
+be used, as well as bars, for joining braids together that run
+parallel to each other, and for
+filling up the spaces between.
+These stitches, which serve as
+an insertion, are some of them
+very elementary, whilst others
+require great skill and patience
+to execute.</p>
+
+<p>The simplest of all is the
+Russian stitch, which bears
+a great resemblance to the
+crossed stitch, shown in fig. <a href="./chapter_1.html#fig_39">39</a>,
+and the crossed back-stitch,
+fig. <a href="./chapter_5.html#fig_176">176</a>.</p>
+
+<p>You pass the needle from
+left to right, under the edge
+of the braid, then again from right to left under the opposite
+edge, taking care always to leave the thread in front of the needle.</p>
+
+<p><b>Twisted Russian stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_705">705</a>).&mdash;Instead of passing
+the needle behind the thread,
+pass it before it and round
+it, so that the needle always
+comes out again beneath
+the thread, which will then be
+twice twisted.</p>

+
+<p><b>Eighteenth lace stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_737">737</a>).&mdash;This is the first of a
+series of lace stitches, often met with in old Venetian lace, and
+which can therefore with perfect right be called, Venetian
+stitches.</p>
+
+<p>Owing to the manner and order in which the rows of
+stitches are connected and placed above one another, they form
+less transparent grounds than those we have hitherto described.</p>
+
+<p>In these grounds you begin by making the row of loops, then
+you throw a thread across on the same level and in coming
+back, pass the needle through the row of loops under the
+thread stretched across, and under the stitch of the previous row.</p>
+
+<p><b>Nineteenth lace stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_738">738</a>).&mdash;The close stitch here
+represented is more common in Venetian lace than the loose
+stitch given in fig. <a href="#fig_737">737</a>.</p><p><a name="Page_457" id="Page_457"></a></p>

+<p><b>Twentieth lace stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_739">739</a>).&mdash;By missing some loops
+of the close ground in one row and replacing them by the

+regular and systematic missing and taking up of stitches, in
+this way, extremely pretty grounds can be produced.</p>
+
+<p><b>Twenty-first lace stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_740">740</a>).&mdash;These close lace
+stitches, can be varied in all sorts of other ways by embroidering
+the needle-made grounds.</p>
+
+<p>In fig. <a href="#fig_740">740</a>, you have little tufts in darning stitch, and in
+a less twisted material than the close stitches of the ground,
+worked upon the ground.</p>
+
+<p>If you use Fil &agrave; dentelle D.M.C
+(lace thread) for the ground, you
+should take either Coton &agrave; repriser
+D.M.C (darning cotton), or better
+still, Coton surfin D.M.C<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a> for the
+tufts. The ground can also be ornamented
+with little rings of buttonholing,
+stars or flowerets in bullion
+or some other fancy stitch.</p>

+and the three that follow, the work
+<a name="Page_458" id="Page_458"></a>has to be held, so that the finished rows are turned to the worker
+and the needle points to the outside of the hand. In the first
+row, from left to right, take hold of the thread near the end that
+is in the braid, lay it from left to right under the point of the
+needle, and bring it back again to the right, over the same.
+Whilst twisting the thread in this way round the needle with
+the right hand, you must hold the eye of the needle under
+the left thumb.</p>
+
+<p>When you have laid the thread round draw the needle
+through the loops; the bars must stand straight and be of
+uniform length. Were they to slant or be at all uneven, we
+should consider the work badly done.</p>
+
+<p>In the row that is worked from left to right, the thread
+must be twisted round the needle, likewise from left to right.</p>
+
+<p><b>Twenty-third lace stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_742">742</a>).&mdash;This is begun with
+the same stitches as fig. <a href="#fig_741">741</a>, worked from right to left. You
+then take up every loop that comes between the vertical bars
+with an overcasting stitch, drawing the thread quite out, and
+tightening it as much as is necessary after each stitch. You
+cannot take several stitches on the needle at the same time
+and draw out the thread for them all at once, as this pulls
+the bars out of their place.</p>

+
+<p><b>Twenty-ninth lace stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_748">748</a>).&mdash;This stitch, known

+
+<p><b>Thirty-first lace stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_750">750</a>).&mdash;At first sight this stitch
+looks very much like the preceding one, but it differs entirely
+from it in the way in which the threads are knotted.
+You pass the needle under the loop and the laid thread,
+then stick in the pin at the right distance for making the long
+loop, bring the thread round behind the pin, make a loop
+round the point of the needle, as shows in the engraving, and
+pull up the knot.</p>

+greater variety into lace stitches, netting can also be imitated
+with the needle. You begin with a loop in the corner of a
+square and work in diagonal lines. The loops are secured by
+means of the same stitch shown in fig. <a href="#fig_750">750</a>, and the regularity
+of the loops ensured, as it is there, by making them round a
+pin, stuck in at the proper distance. The squares or meshes
+must be made with the greatest accuracy; that being the case,
+most of the stitches described in the preceding chapter can be
+worked upon them, and the smallest spaces can be filled with
+delicate embroidery.</p>
+
+<p><b>Thirty-third lace stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_752">752</a>).&mdash;This stitch is frequently
+met with in the oldest Irish lace, especially in the kind
+where the braids are joined together by fillings not bars. At
+<a name="Page_462" id="Page_462"></a>first sight, it looks merely like a close net stitch, the ground
+and filling all alike, so uniform is it in appearance, but on
+a closer observation it will be found to be quite a different
+stitch from any of those we have been describing.</p>
+
+<p>The first stitch is made like a plain net stitch, the second
+consists of a knot that ties up the loop of the first stitch. Fillings
+of this kind must be worked as compactly as possible, so
+that hardly any spaces are visible between the individual rows.</p>

+with this stitch, known as the wheel or spider stitch, begin by
+laying double diagonal threads to and fro, at regular distances
+apart, so that they lie side by side and are not twisted. When
+the whole surface is covered with these double threads, throw
+a second similar series across them, the opposite way. The
+return thread, in making this second layer, must be conducted
+under the double threads of the first layer and over the single
+thread just laid, and wound two or three times round them,
+thereby forming little wheels or spiders, like those already
+described in the preceding chapter in figs. <a href="./chapter_12.html#fig_653">653</a> and <a href="./chapter_12.html#fig_654">654</a>.</p>
+
+<p><b>Thirty-fifth lace stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_754">754</a>).&mdash;Begin by making a
+very regular netted foundation, but without knots, where the
+two layers of threads intersect each other.</p>
+
+<p>Then, make a third layer of diagonal threads across the
+two first layers, so that all meet at the same points of intersection,
+thus forming six rays divergent from one centre. With
+<a name="Page_463" id="Page_463"></a>the fourth and last thread, which forms the seventh and eighth
+ray, you make the wheel over seven threads, then slip the
+needle under it and carry it on to the point for the next wheel.</p>

+surface to be embroidered, with threads stretched in horizontal
+lines, you cover them with loops going from one to the
+other and joining themselves in the subsequent row to the
+preceding loops.</p>
+
+<p>The needle will thus have to pass underneath two threads.

+the first threads that you lay, you
+make an imitation of the Penelope
+canvas used for tapestry work,
+covering the surface with double
+threads, a very little distance apart,
+stretched both ways. The second
+layer of threads must pass alternately under and over the first,
+where they cross each other, and the small squares thus left
+between, must be encircled several times with thread and then
+buttonholed; the thicker the foundation and the more raised
+<a name="Page_464" id="Page_464"></a>and compact the buttonholing upon it is, the better the effect
+will be. Each of these little buttonholed rings should be begun

+
+<p>You lay five or six threads, according to the course the

+of their junction with the principal line, thence you throw

+from a piece of very old and valuable Brabant lace, of which
+<a name="Page_465" id="Page_465"></a>it formed the entire ground. Our figure of course represents
+it on a very magnified scale, the original being worked in the
+finest imaginable material, over a single foundation thread.</p>
+
+<p>In the first row, after the three
+usual foundation threads are laid,
+you make the buttonhole stitches
+to the number of eight or ten, up
+to the point from which the next
+branch issues, from the edge of
+the braid, that is, upwards.</p>
+
+<p>Then you bring the needle

+
+<p>A picot, like the one described
+in fig. <a href="#fig_701">701</a>, marks the point where the bars join. More picots

+
+
+<p>In general, to the uninitiated, the word &laquo;lace&raquo; signifies
+exclusively the delicate and elaborate fabrics that owe their
+origin to Venice and the Netherlands and were thence imported
+into other countries. But besides Venetian, French, English,
+Chantilly, Brussels, Sedan point, names familiar to every one,
+there are all kinds of other laces, likewise of great antiquity,
+and named as the above are, after the country they belong to.</p>
+
+<p>As it would be impossible in these pages to give a comprehensive
+account of them all, we have restricted ourselves to
+such as seem more especially suited to the amateur, to whom
+needlework is a mere recreation and pastime.</p>
+
+<p>Worked like the above-named entirely with the needle,
+but much less elaborate and minute in character and workmanship,
+they are quicker and easier to make and we are sure that
+by the help of the directions that accompany the illustrations,
+any careful worker will be able to imitate them without difficulty.</p>
+
+<p><b>Materials.</b>&mdash;It will be observed that we do not bind ourselves
+in the following directions to one size of cotton, that as
+in point of fact, one and the same piece of work can be executed
+in either fine or coarse cotton, we have only indicated the most
+suitable kind of material to use: as for instance for Armenian
+<a name="Page_474" id="Page_474"></a>lace, Fil &agrave; pointer D.M.C<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a> or Cordonnet 6 fils D.M.C<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a>, for
+Smyrna or knotted lace, Fil &agrave; pointer D.M.C, Cordonnet 6 fils
+D.M.C and Fil &agrave; dentelle D.M.C<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a>, for Reticella and Venetian
+lace, Fil d'Alsace D.M.C<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a>, for Brussels lace, the finest numbers
+of Fil &agrave; dentelle and for pillow lace, any one of those
+enumerated, excepting Coton &agrave; broder surfin.</p>
+
+<p><b><a name="Materials" id="Materials"></a>Pillow lace and the necessary articles for its manufacture</b>.&mdash;Pillow
+lace derives its name from the cushion or pillow
+on which all bobbin lace is made, which distinguishes it
+from point lace, so-called because it consists of &laquo;points&raquo; or
+stitches made with a needle and thread.</p>
+
+<p>Various articles are required for the making of pillow lace;
+in the first place a cushion or pillow, then bobbins and a
+winder, parchment patterns, pins and a pricker.</p>
+
+<p><b>The lace pillow</b> (figs. <a href="#fig_774">774</a>, <a href="#fig_775">775</a>, <a href="#fig_776">776</a>).&mdash;The pillows used
+for pillow lace are of different kinds and vary in shape with
+where the country,
+and the manner
+in which the lace
+is made.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 450px;">

+</div>
+
+<p>Fig. <a href="#fig_774">774</a> represents
+the shape in
+use in the mountains
+of Bohemia
+and Saxony, where
+pillow lace has always
+been one of
+the chief industries
+of the inhabitants.
+Any one can make
+a cushion of this
+kind themselves
+with a piece of
+stuff, 60 c/m. long
+and 40 wide. The
+long sides are firmly sewn together and the short ones turned
+<a name="Page_475" id="Page_475"></a>in with a narrow hem through which you run a cord to draw
+them up. A disc of stout cardboard is put inside the case after
+you have gathered up the one end; you then stuff the case as
+full as possible with bran, sawdust or horsehair, lay a second
+disc of cardboard in at the top and draw up the other end.</p>
+
+<p>These pillows are then put into cardboard boxes with
+rather high sides, or into a kind of basket, weighted at the
+bottom, to keep it firm and steady. Pillows of this most
+primitive kind have the great advantage of being perfectly easy
+to make.</p>
+
+<p>Fig. <a href="#fig_775">775</a> represents a pillow of a more complicated kind,
+which can be stood upon the table or mounted on a stand. The
+cylinder is movable so that you can go on working without
+interruption.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 500px;">

+<a name="fig_775" id="fig_775"></a><span class="caption smcap">Fig. 775. Pillow with movable cylinder for making lace.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>The whole apparatus consists of a board or stand, 50 c/m.
+long and 40 wide, resting upon two transverse pieces of wood,
+3&frac12; c/m. high behind and 1 c/m. in front.</p>
+
+<p>The board should be covered, first with a very thick flannel
+or Bath coating and then with a fine dark green flannel or cloth.</p><p><a name="Page_476" id="Page_476"></a></p>
+
+<p>Two small supports are fixed on to the outside edge of the
+stand to hold the cylinder, which consists of two discs that
+revolve on a rod about 22 c/m. long.</p>
+
+<p>This rod should be covered, in the first place with a thick
+layer of tow and then with flannel or cloth.</p>
+
+<p>On the left side of the cylinder is a cog-wheel and a metal
+spring is attached to the board, by means of which the wheel
+is prevented from turning the wrong way.</p>
+
+<p>Fig. <a href="#fig_776">776</a> shows how the bobbins are placed upon the pillow.
+In Normandy a kind of stuffed box is used instead of a pillow.
+The board is 3 c/m. higher behind than in front and is deeply
+grooved to hold the cylinder, which is stuffed and shaped like
+the one represented in fig. <a href="#fig_775">775</a>.</p>

+groove in the back edge receives the lace as it is worked off the

+motion of their own. We cannot help again laying great stress
+on the importance of seeing that the size of the bobbins and
+the number of the cotton be well assorted to the kind of lace.</p>
+
+<p><b>The winder</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_778">778</a>).&mdash;Every one who means to take
+the work seriously should provide themselves with a winder,
+as here represented, which is affixed to a polished wooden stand.</p><p><a name="Page_477" id="Page_477"></a></p>
+
+<p>This stand has to be firmly screwed to the table and the
+bobbin is squeezed in between the two little rods fitted into
+the supports at the left end of the stand; one of these rods
+serves as the axle to the little wheel, the other can be drawn
+in and out and fitted to the length of the bobbin.</p>

+
+<p>When the bobbin is fixed in its place, you take the thread
+in the left hand and wind it round it, turning the wheel with
+the right hand from right to left in the direction indicated by
+the arrow.</p>
+
+<p>The thread is wound round the handles of the bobbins that
+are used for making very fine lace, and a wooden shield that is so
+contrived that you can slip it over the handle prevents the thread
+from getting soiled.</p>
+
+<p><b>Stoppage of the thread
+at the end of the bobbin</b>
+(fig. <a href="#fig_779">779</a>).&mdash;After cutting
+off the thread, you make a
+loop close to the top of the
+bobbin to prevent it from
+unwinding too easily. This
+loop is formed by taking the bobbin in the right hand, the
+thread between the fourth and fifth fingers of the left hand
+<a name="Page_478" id="Page_478"></a>and laying it away from you round the left thumb; then lifting
+up the bottom thread with the second finger of the left hand
+you pass the bobbin upwards from below through the loop on
+the left hand.</p>

+<p><b>Machine for crossing the threads</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_780">780</a>).&mdash;This ingenious
+little machine is of great assistance in making straight
+running patterns and Irish lace braids, and is particularly
+useful for Russian lace and braid lace of all kinds.</p>
+
+<p>It renders the even crossing of the threads in those parts
+of a pattern that imitate linen in texture comparatively easy.</p>
+
+<p>Two implements
+like combs, fitting
+into one another, and
+movable, are mounted
+at two thirds of
+their length on a steel
+axle. The long teeth
+have holes bored
+through the ends,
+from the sides to
+the middle of the
+points and through
+these holes the
+threads from the bobbins are passed.</p>
+

+</div>
+
+<p>The short teeth also are pierced with transverse holes,
+through which a needle with the threads threaded in the long
+teeth resting upon it, is passed. The points of the short teeth
+are covered with a hollow metal cylinder, split through from
+end to end, which can be removed when new threads have to
+be added.</p>
+
+<p>When the threads are all on, a small spring is fixed to the
+two ends of the axle, which is independent of the machine, and
+the two ends of the spring are introduced into the hollow of
+the cylinder.</p>
+
+<p>By the pressure you exercise on the teeth in the cylinder,
+the long teeth change their position, the lower ones rise and
+the upper ones fall and the threads cross each other, as in a loom.
+After each movement of the machine, the bobbin that makes
+<a name="Page_479" id="Page_479"></a>the woof must be passed between the crossed threads; the
+edges are made like those of any other kind of lace.</p>
+
+<p>Fig. <a href="#fig_781">781</a> explains how the bobbins are passed between the
+threads that are held between the teeth of the machine.</p>

+
+<p><b>The pattern</b>.&mdash;The pattern is one of the most important
+things in making pillow lace.</p>
+
+<p>The outlines must be clear and exact, as upon that in
+great measure the perfection of the lace depends.</p>
+
+<p>The drawing transferred to parchment, paper or cardboard,
+usually of a yellowish tint, should be lined with a very thin
+stuff such as muslin to prevent its tearing.</p>
+
+<p>A stripe of quadrille, or point paper as it is called, should
+be laid upon the pattern and then holes pricked with a medium-sized
+needle at every intersection of the lines.</p>
+
+<p>All the curved long lines of the pattern must first be traced
+upon the point paper with ink and then pricked.</p><p><a name="Page_480" id="Page_480"></a></p>
+
+<p>The pattern should be adapted to the thickness of the
+thread the lace is to be made of; for a coarse lace large point
+paper should be used and small, for the finer kinds of lace.
+The pricking of the pattern beforehand is particularly important
+in the case of the common torchon lace, where the real
+beauty of the design consists in its regularity; in the case of
+fine close patterns the pricking can only be done as you
+proceed.</p>
+
+<p>Prickers and holders of the kind represented in fig. <a href="#fig_782">782</a> or
+very much resembling it, are to be had at every stationer's shop.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 500px;">

+<a name="fig_782" id="fig_782"></a><span class="caption smcap">Fig. 782. Pricker and holder.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>The holes made by the prickers are to receive the pins,
+stuck in as you go along, round which you form and by which
+these are kept in their place.</p>
+
+<p>The pins must be long, with round heads and of a size
+suited to the thread. When your pattern is ready fasten it to
+the pillow or cylinder as the case may be, stretching it as
+smoothly as possible and being careful in so doing to fit the
+lines of the pattern together. If it be too long it must be cut
+to the required length or you may make the cylinder bigger
+by wrapping several folds of flannel round it.</p><p><a name="Page_481" id="Page_481"></a></p>
+
+<p>The value of lace depends not only on the work but on
+the thread it is made of; all the D.M.C cottons<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a> can be recommended
+for lace-making and coloured laces of all kinds
+are greatly improved by the addition of a little Chin&eacute; d'or

+lace is always made with two pairs of bobbins at once
+and the &laquo;stitches&raquo; are formed by the different ways of passing,
+plaiting, crossing and twisting the threads.</p>
+

+<a name="fig_783" id="fig_783"></a><span class="caption smcap">Fig. 783. Position and movements of the hands.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>To begin with the simplest operation, making a plait, hang
+2 pairs of bobbins to a pin, take 2 bobbins in each hand and
+lay the right bobbin of each pair over its left fellow and draw
+up the threads slightly. Then take the bobbins in the 2nd, 3rd
+and 4th fingers of the right hand and with the same
+fingers of the left, lay the 2nd bobbin over the 3rd
+with the 2nd and 3rd fingers of the left, so that
+the two middle bobbins are crossed, then take the
+4th bobbin in the 2nd and 3rd fingers of the right
+hand and the bobbin that is now the 2nd, in the
+3rd and 4th fingers of the left hand and lay the former
+over the 3rd, the latter over the 1st. This constitutes
+a &laquo;half passing&raquo;.</p>
+
+<p>The plait, fig. <a href="#fig_784">784</a>, is formed by the repetition
+of the half passing. Two half passings make a whole
+or &laquo;double passing&raquo;.</p>
+
+<p>On the kind of lace you are making, depends
+how many pairs of bobbins you will have to use.
+But as one part of the lace is often made before the
+other, or you have to put on supernumerary bobbins,
+you fasten up those not in use on one side with pins,
+as shown in fig. <a href="#fig_783">783</a>.</p>

+
+<p>Even copying the patterns from description
+is only possible at first in a qua<a name="Page_483" id="Page_483"></a>lified
+sense; the surest way of attaining a satisfactory result
+is by constantly comparing the drawing and the work in progress
+and wherever the latter does not correspond with the
+former, trying at once to rectify the difference.</p>
+
+<p><b>Linen or cloth ground</b>.&mdash;The pattern used for net passing
+can also be used for linen passing or ground but 7 pins, instead of
+6, have to be stuck in at the top first. As in net passing, you
+work first from left to right,
+running 2 threads to and fro
+in perfectly horizontal lines, so
+as to produce a ground resembling
+linen in its texture.</p>
+
+<p>The threads that run to and
+fro are held at the edge with
+pins and changed by a half
+passing, so that the one that
+was first in going, is first also in returning.</p>
+
+<p>The use of the machine for crossing the threads is especially
+to be recommended in working linen ground; by pressing the
+short branches of the machine, the position of the threads is
+changed and the bobbin is pushed through; by a second pressure
+the second bobbin is driven through, the pin is stuck in
+<a name="Page_484" id="Page_484"></a>for the picot or the cord, when the bobbins are taken back
+again, four movements being thus all that is required.</p>

+requiring the greatest
+care, but in the case of
+needlemade lace and pillow
+lace the processes are
+different.</p>
+
+<p>The paper on which
+the design is traced must
+first be backed or lined
+with unglazed black paper
+(made specially for
+this purpose). Prick holes
+all along the lines of the
+pattern, at exactly the
+same distance from each
+other, remove the tracing
+and tack the black paper
+upon rather coarse linen.</p>
+
+<p>This done, you take
+from three to five lengths
+of the thread of which
+the lace is to be made,
+lay them down together
+upon the lines marked
+by the prickings and secure
+them at each hole
+by a stitch made over
+the threads.</p>

+up and sewing paper
+over each part as

+<p>All the different lace stitches that are used as fillings must

+must be careful not to drag out of their place.</p>
+
+<p>We again remark, for the benefit of those of our readers
+who may not have read the preceding chapter attentively, that
+in working all the finer lace stitches, the needle should be held
+<a name="Page_514" id="Page_514"></a>with the eye towards the worker and the point turned outwards.
+All the inside portions
+of the pattern have to
+be worked in separately;

+in figs. <a href="#fig_825">825</a> and <a href="#fig_826">826</a>.
+The stitches should be
+selected as far as possible,
+to suit the style of the design.
+Flowers look best
+worked in an open or lattice
+stitch, leaves on the
+other hand in a thick
+close stitch.</p>

+<p>As all this kind of lace-work is very laborious and takes a
+long time to do, we advise our readers to use thread that is
+slightly tinted; in the first place it does not turn yellow as
+white thread is liable to do and secondly, being softer and
+less twisted it takes every bend and turn more readily than
+the stiffer white material does.</p>
+
+<p>Of all the different kinds
+of thread, so frequently alluded
+to in these pages, the
+higher numbers of Fil d'Alsace
+D.M.C and Fil &agrave; dentelle
+D.M.C are the best for the
+finer kinds of lace, and they
+all have the soft ivory tint,
+we so admire in the old
+needlework.</p>

+<p>As the plan on which this book was constructed rendered
+a systematic classification of the different subjects it treats of
+necessary, a certain amount of miscellaneous fancy work,
+which does not come under any of the previous headings
+remains to be dealt with in the present chapter. In most
+cases the illustrations and the accompanying directions are but
+an application to a practical use of the different kinds of stitches
+already described in previous chapters and those who are
+familiar with all these various branches of needlework will have
+no difficulty in understanding what follows.</p>

+<a href="./chapter_13.html#fig_773">773</a> in the chapter on <a href="./chapter_13.html">Irish lace</a>, comes under the present
+heading: in making it, the fingers take the place of a crochet
+needle.</p>
+
+<p>You tie two ends of thread or braid together, take one
+thread in the left hand fig. <a href="#fig_831">831</a>, and with the forefinger of the
+right, pull out a loop long enough for the left forefinger to
+pass through and hold the end of the thread tight with the
+little finger of the right hand.</p>
+
+<p>Then draw the left forefinger backwards through the loop
+and behind the thread that is round the loop and lies in the
+left hand, fig. <a href="#fig_832">832</a>. As you lay the thread round the left fore<a name="Page_518" id="Page_518"></a>finger,
+you must pass the knot and the ends of thread as well,
+over into the left hand, and with the right hand pull the
+thread that lies on the right and draw up the loop, fig. <a href="#fig_833">833</a>.</p>

+
+<p>In fig. <a href="#fig_834">834</a>, representing the fourth position of the hands,
+you are shown how the forefinger of the right hand lifts up the
+thread and passes through the loop on the left hand; the end
+will consequently also pass immediately into the right hand
+and the left hand will tighten the knot.</p><p><a name="Page_519" id="Page_519"></a></p>

+</div>
+
+<p>It is by thus drawing up first a loop on the right and then
+one on the left that this pretty cord is produced.</p>
+
+<p>Skilful hands will soon learn to make a cord of the same
+kind with four threads, as follows: knot the four ends of thread
+together, make a few knots, using two threads as one, then
+dropping the loop on your forefinger, put the next one upon
+it and draw up the knot, passing however the
+threads over those that you dropped. Then
+drop the loop you have on your finger again
+and take up the first loops.</p>
+
+<p>For the cord made with double threads,
+represented in fig. <a href="#fig_835">835</a> on a magnified scale,
+use Cordonnet 6 fils D.M.C or one of the other
+materials mentioned at the foot of the illustration.

+introduction of the sewing machine, by means of which this
+charming kind of embroidery can be so quickly and
+easily executed, it has somewhat gone out of favour.
+As however, the fine patterns with a good deal
+of shading in them, can be far more accurately
+worked by hand than by machine, tambouring, which
+is in point of fact merely a form of crochet, has lately
+been revived. The piece of stuff on which the tambour
+work is to be done must be mounted on a frame.</p>

+<a name="fig_843" id="fig_843"></a><span class="caption smcap">Fig. 843. Tambour needle.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>The loops which are made with a small hook,
+called a tambour needle, form a fine chain stitch and
+must be regular and even; to facilitate this a sort of thimble,
+fig. <a href="#fig_842">842</a>, is worn on the forefinger of the right hand, formed
+of a small plate of sheet brass, rolled up but not joined, so
+as to fit any finger; it is open at the top like a tailor's
+thimble and has a little notch on the side which is placed
+above the nail, and in which you lay the tambour needle whilst
+<a name="Page_522" id="Page_522"></a>you work. From the thimble being cut slightly slanting at the
+top, it follows that the inside where the two ends meet is a
+little shorter than the outside.</p>
+
+<p>The thread is drawn through in a loop to the front of the
+work by means of the hook, whilst it is held at the back in
+the left hand, and when the needle is put downwards through
+the stuff, laid round it. The needle in its downward and upward
+passage, should be kept in the notch in the thimble and
+the stuff pressed down with the thimble, as the needle is drawn
+up to the surface of the work, fig. <a href="#fig_844">844</a>.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 500px;">
+<img src="images/857.jpg"  alt="FIG. 844. POSITION OF THE HANDS IN TAMBOURING." title="" />

+</div>
+
+<p>A little practice is necessary to acquire the right action of the
+hands, there being always a tendency, the same as in tatting
+and macram&eacute;, to confuse the movements of the two. As soon
+as you realize that the upward drawing of the needle and the
+downward pressure of the stuff with the thimble must be
+<a name="Page_523" id="Page_523"></a>simultaneous, you will find that you can work with great rapidity
+and with admirable results. Thread with a very strong
+twist, which the hook will not split, is the only suitable kind
+for tambouring. Of the D.M.C materials, Fil d'Alsace<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a> and
+Fil &agrave; dentelle<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a> are the most to be recommended.</p>
+

+
+
+<p>Smyrna stitch requires only a crochet needle and is worked
+on very coarse canvas or Java linen. You take a coarse mesh
+of cotton, such as Nos. 6, 8 or 10 of Colon &agrave; tricoter D.M.C
+(knitting cotton), cut it into lengths of 8 c/m., fold two lengths
+together in half, stick in the crochet needle from above, under
+two threads of the canvas, take hold of the loop with the hook,
+<a name="Page_525" id="Page_525"></a>fig. <a href="#fig_846">846</a>, and draw it in; then push out the hook to seize the
+ends of the cotton and draw them through the loop which is
+on the needle, as indicated by the little arrow in fig. <a href="#fig_847">847</a>. The
+stitches or tassels should be two or three double threads of
+the canvas apart. As you finish each row, comb the ends of
+the tassels out carefully with a fine metal comb. When the
+whole piece of work is finished shear the entire surface, quite
+even, with a pair of sharp scissors. Fig. <a href="#fig_849">849</a> shows a square
+of the work completed, presenting that warm velvety appearance
+which distinguishes the Smyrna carpets.</p>

+<p>It is worked as follows: take a thick bunch of lengths of
+Coton &agrave; repriser D.M.C, pass it under two vertical threads of
+the stuff, from right to left, fig. <a href="#fig_850">850</a>, leaving an end, 1 or
+2 c/m. long, lying on the surface of the work; put the needle
+in again under the two threads that are in front of the first
+stitch and leave the tassel, formed by the first stitch, above
+<a name="Page_527" id="Page_527"></a>the one by which you bring the needle back between the
+two stitches.</p>
+
+<p>The needle must now follow the same course it took for
+the first stitch and the thread must be drawn out far enough
+to form a loop as long as the tassel; you then repeat the
+second stitch, carrying back the working thread however this
+time above the loop, after which you cut the two open ends
+the same length as the loop. In the Maltese work, three times
+as many threads have to be left between the tassels as are
+covered by the stitch.</p>
+
+<p>Thus if your stitch cover 4 threads of the foundation, you
+should leave 12 threads between the tassels, and if it cover 6,
+you should leave an interval of 18 threads, that the stuff may
+always be visible between the little tassels or balls.</p>

+Amongst the many pretty stitches for which Turkish embroideries
+are distinguished, there is one in particular, which

+it resembles line stitch upon straight threads, only that in the
+East it is generally worked in diagonal lines, each row requiring
+two journeys to and fro.</p>
+
+<p>In the first, fig. <a href="#fig_855">855</a>, the needle must always be carried,
+first over, then under two threads in a diagonal line and so on
+to the end of the row.</p>
+
+<p>Coming back, you pass the needle under the stuff and the
+stitch on the right side, and bring it out at the bottom of the
+stitch; then you make a back stitch over two horizontal and
+two vertical threads, pass the needle over two straight threads,
+put it in behind the same, bring it out again near the upper
+stitch and then insert it near the bottom vertical stitch; after
+this you carry it to the second stitch lower down and pass it
+over the same. Four threads should meet in every hole which
+the needle makes. The third and fourth row should be worked
+<a name="Page_528" id="Page_528"></a>in a colour that forms a sharp contrast with the one in which
+the two first rows are worked and constitute with these one
+complete row of stitches, fig. <a href="#fig_856">856</a>.</p>

+
+<p>The stalk that divides the two little leaves and has a small
+<a name="Page_530" id="Page_530"></a>lozenge at the top, is begun above the fifth of the 9 stitches;
+you make 5 stitches, but in such a manner as to end at the top
+of these 5 with the stitch that runs in a diagonal direction
+over the threads, turned to the inside of the stalk, so that the
+last stitch of the first row may form with the first stitch of
+the second row, a triangle at the top of the stalk, which is
+surmounted by the aforesaid lozenge.</p>
+
+<p>The lozenges in Chin&eacute; gold and light blue, of which there
+are three in each of the half squares, besides those that terminate
+the stalk, consist of 9 stitches, the first, extending over
+3 threads, the second over 5, the third over 7, the fourth over
+9 and the fifth over 11; the four next decreasing in a similar
+manner. The leaves in Chin&eacute; gold and green, on either side
+of the stalk, also begin with a stitch over 3 threads of the
+stuff, followed by 8, each increasing in length by one thread
+on the side of the stalk, but all equal on the other, the last
+extending over 12 threads of the stuff. After these 9, the subsequent
+8 must decrease in the same manner by one thread
+on the opposite side;

+extending over only 3
+threads and set the

+</div>
+
+<p>Appliqu&eacute; work may be done on linen, silk, velvet, plush
+and leather. The stuff out of which the pattern is cut has, in
+most cases, to be backed first with very fine tissue paper.</p>
+
+<p>This is done in the following manner with starch paste,
+which dries quicker than any other. Spread the paste on the
+paper with a brush, carefully removing all the little lumps; it
+should only be just liquid enough to make the stuff and the
+paper adhere perfectly together and above all must never
+penetrate to the right side of the stuff. When the paper has
+been evenly spread with the paste, lay your stuff upon it and
+smooth and press it down with a clean cloth, stroking it out
+carefully in the line of the thread to prevent its becoming in
+the least dragged or puckered, or any air remaining between
+it and the paper.</p>
+
+<p>You next lay several sheets of paper without a mark or a
+fold in them, on a perfectly smooth flat board, and upon these,
+your paper-lined stuff, covered in its turn with several loose
+sheets of paper, all being kept in their place by another
+<a name="Page_532" id="Page_532"></a>board with several stones or heavy weights laid upon it to act
+as a press. Leave the stuff in the press until it be quite dry.
+You will find that any kind of fabric, even the slightest,
+can be rendered available in this manner for appliqu&eacute; work,
+not even plush or velvet being in the least injured by the
+process.</p>
+
+<p>You then transfer the whole pattern on to the foundation,
+whatever it happen to be, but only the detached figures on to
+the paper-lined stuff, carefully cutting out the latter with a very
+sharp pair of scissors so as to avoid unravelling the threads
+along the edges.</p>
+
+<p>The foundation, stretched in a frame, as described on page<a name="Page_533" id="Page_533"></a>
+<a href="./chapter_6.html#Page_115">115</a>, fig. <a href="./chapter_6.html#fig_236">236</a>, is to be placed on a board or table in such a
+manner that only the stuff rests upon it, whilst the frame
+projects on all four sides.</p>
+
+<p>Then cover the cut-out figures with paste on the wrong
+side and fit them into their proper places upon the foundation.
+In larger pieces of work especially, this should be done
+as quickly as possible so that a board with weights upon it,
+to serve as a press, may be laid over them all at once.</p>
+
+<p>The board must not be removed until the paste be dry; then
+you can begin the needlework, fastening down the appliqu&eacute;
+figures and finishing them off round the edges by laying down
+a fine round, cord, or by flat stitches.</p>
+<p><a name="Page_534" id="Page_534"></a></p>
+
+<p>You either sew on the cord with invisible stitches, opening
+it a little at each stitch so as to slip the needle and
+thread in between the twist, or else with ordinary overcasting
+stitches.</p>
+
+<p>In either case it must be so laid on as completely to hide
+the cut edges and keep them from fraying.</p>
+
+<p>Should you wish to frame the appliqu&eacute; figures with flat
+embroidery, you must bring your needle out close to the cut
+edge and enter it, 1 or 2 m/m. within the edge from above.</p>
+<p><a name="Page_535" id="Page_535"></a></p>
+<p>Both, cord and flat stitch setting, should be of a subdued

+<p>Most of the stuffs, already so frequently alluded to in this
+work, can be used as a foundation for this kind of embroidery,

+Coton &agrave; tricoter or Fil &agrave; pointer should only be used for the
+coarser stuffs, such as Rhodes linen No. 1, or Russian linen
+and the different kinds of tammy cloth, whereas the other
+kinds of D.M.C threads and cottons and especially the finer
+numbers, are best adapted for embroidery on fine stuffs, such

+
+<p>The buttonhole stitches, for which the more subdued shade
+of the colours indicated should always be taken, or else yellow,
+dark or pale, to match the gold thread, are made over two
+threads of gold and follow the outlines of the pattern, which
+should be more or less appropriate to this style of embroidery.
+One of the gold threads always keeps the inside of the line
+and follows it throughout in an unbroken course, whilst with
+<a name="Page_538" id="Page_538"></a>the second, the outside one, you form picots, folding the gold
+thread over from right to left and catching down the loop by
+a buttonhole stitch, which is introduced into the loop itself and
+carried over the combined gold threads, as shown in the left
+corner of fig. <a href="#fig_868">868</a>, representing one quarter of the whole design,
+where the position of the needle and the way in which
+the picot is secured are plainly indicated.</p>
+
+<p>For the scallops, a round material with rather a strong twist
+should be used, such as Soie de coton D.M.C No. 100<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a> or

+
+<p>Where the picots have to fill up empty spaces of a larger
+size, you can join several together by connecting them each in
+turn with the first.</p>
+<p><a name="Page_539" id="Page_539"></a></p>
+<p>When you have bordered all the outlines with buttonhole
+stitches and picots, fill up the spaces enclosed within the lines,
+which properly speaking form the pattern, with flat stitch
+embroidery, worked in Coton &agrave; broder or Coton &agrave; repriser;
+after which the whole surface is sewn over with fine little
+spangles which give the sparkling look that constitutes the
+peculiar charm of this kind of embroidery. The flowers are
+covered with a fancy stitch that forms regular little lozenges,
+and every second row of stitches is hidden under a spangle.</p>
+
+<p>With regard to the colours indicated at the foot of fig. <a href="#fig_867">867</a>,
+this is how they were distributed in the original, from which
+our engraving was taken; all the outlines in buttonhole stitch,
+in Bleu p&acirc;le 668; the tops of the flowers in Bleu-Indigo 334;
+the bottom parts in Bleu-Indigo 332, and all three shades of
+blue so blended together in the solid parts of the design as
+to be undistinguishable from each other. It is not absolutely
+necessary to keep to the colours here indicated; there is no
+reason whatever why a greater variety should not be introduced,
+but in every case the more subdued shades should be selected;
+a pale red, for instance, for the flowers, a green and a brown
+for the arabesques, will always be found to produce a very
+pretty and harmonious effect.</p>
+
+<p>When all the needlework is finished, you cut away the
+stuff underneath the network formed by the picots, with a pair
+of sharp scissors.</p>
+
+<p>A word remains to be said with regard to the copying of
+fig. <a href="#fig_868">868</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Our readers will notice that in fig. <a href="#fig_867">867</a> the flowers and
+arabesques succeed and grow out of each other; that whilst
+the four quarters are symmetrical, yet at the same time, the
+curves in each quarter take a different inclination.</p>
+
+<p>You cannot therefore simply repeat the subject four times;
+when you have copied the one quarter, given in fig. <a href="#fig_868">868</a>, you
+must lay this first quarter on again at the cross + on the left
+side; when the second quarter is finished, you again turn the
+copy to the left and tack it on at the +; when you come to the
+fourth quarter the lines of the first quarter must exactly meet
+those of the last. We beg here to draw attention to the direc<a name="Page_540" id="Page_540"></a>tions,
+relative to the copying of patterns, given in the subsequent

+
+<p>Basket stitch can be worked
+on all kinds of stuffs, on counted
+threads or on a wide or
+narrow tracing, with fine or
+coarse thread, and more or less
+closely, according to the taste
+of the worker.</p>
+
+<p>You insert the needle from right, and pass it
+under, from 3 to 6 threads of the foundation, according to the
+stuff and the material you are using, then downwards from
+left to right, and over, from 6 to 8 threads, into the stuff again
+from right to left; then you push it under
+the stuff in an upward direction and bring it
+out on the left in the middle of the space
+left between the last stitch and the top of
+the second. The dotted line in the engraving
+indicates the course of the stitches.</p>
+
+<p><b>Old German knotted stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_870">870</a>).&mdash;This
+is a stitch often met with in old
+church and house linen embroidery. A beautiful
+design worked in this way is given

+</div>
+
+<p>Contrary to most stitches, this is worked upwards; the
+needle is put in horizontally under the stuff, the thread tightly
+drawn, then laid from left to right and drawn through underneath
+the first stitch and a tight knot made. We find the same
+stitch, worked in a variety of ways, according to the taste and
+skill of the worker; for instance the knots may be set slanting,
+as in fig. <a href="#fig_870">870</a>, or else straight and very close together,
+as in fig. <a href="#fig_873">873</a>, where they present the appearance of a close
+string of beads, or again wide apart, as they are in fig. <a href="#fig_876">876</a>.</p><p><a name="Page_541" id="Page_541"></a></p>
+
+<p>All these ways are admissible but care should be taken in
+each case, to make the stitches perfectly regular; it is the direction
+which is given to the stitch and the number of threads
+taken up with the needle that changes the appearance of the stitch.</p>
+
+<p><b>Raised stem stitch</b> (figs. <a href="#fig_871">871</a>, <a href="#fig_872">872</a>).&mdash;Take a very thick
+thread, such as Fil &agrave; pointer

+of the coarser numbers of Cordonnet
+6 fils D.M.C, lay it as
+a foundation thread along the

+over it wide stem stitches, as
+represented in figs. <a href="./chapter_5.html#fig_172">172</a> and
+<a href="./chapter_5.html#fig_173">173</a>, either in the same number

+<p>The original, still very well preserved, notwithstanding its
+age, is worked in silk of a brilliant red on a
+stiff stuff which has been coloured by time
+and use.</p>
+
+<p>Willems satin, Rhodes linen No. 2 and
+Algerian linen, make very suitable foundations
+for this kind of embroidery and have that soft
+tint which is almost indispensable to a satisfactory
+imitation of old needlework.</p>
+
+<p>Any one of the shades of red named at
+the foot of the illustration, will be found to
+be a good match for the original colours.</p>
+
+<p>Roumanian stitch is used wherever the lines of the pattern
+are widest; there where they narrow, in the indentures of the
+leaves and the twists of the stalks, flat stitch is used instead.</p>
+
+<p>By the repetition of the detached subject, this pattern may be
+made to serve either for a stripe or for a grounding; if you
+use it for a stripe, the centre flower of the principal subject
+with the stalks lengthened, will look very well worked as a
+separate subject between the large bouquets. Worked in a
+double row, base to base, on any stuff and in any material,
+these large figures form a very handsome border which makes
+an effective trimming for furniture and curtains.</p>

+<p>A similar kind of work was common in Bohemia until a

+of stuff, of different kinds, the upper one fine and transparent,
+the lower, more substantial.</p><p><a name="Page_544" id="Page_544"></a></p>
+
+<p>The pattern is drawn upon the fine stuff, because on that
+side the different kinds of stitches are made.</p>
+
+<p>You then tack the two stuffs together and work all the
+outlines of the pattern in Old German knotted stitch with
+&eacute;cru Fil &agrave; pointer D.M.C No. 20; that done, thread a tapestry
+needle with white Cordonnet 6 fils D.M.C No. 1 or 2, slip it
+in between the two layers of stuff and secure the end by two
+<a name="Page_545" id="Page_545"></a>or three stitches; then push the twist quite close to the knotted
+stitch and fasten it in between the two layers of stuff, with
+small and very regular running stitches, in a fine pliable material,
+such as Fil d'Alsace D.M.C on reels.</p>
+
+<p>Fill up in this manner all the ground of the pattern, leaving

+</div>
+<p>For the ears of corn in fig. <a href="#fig_883">883</a>, use either Soutache &eacute;cru,
+or Jaune-d'Ocre 677 No. 2; for the marguerites, white Sou<a name="Page_547" id="Page_547"></a><a name="Page_548" id="Page_548"></a>tache
+No. 2&frac12; and for the corn flowers, Soutache Bleu-Indigo
+322 No. 2. Nothing could be simpler than the mode of working
+these flowers.</p>
+
+<p>Thread a tapestry needle with the Soutache and draw it
+into the stuff, and then pass it through from the right side to
+the wrong at the bottom of one of the petals of the flowers,
+secure it on the wrong side by two or three stitches and then
+bring the working thread, which should be of the same colour
+as the Soutache, out again at the point of the petal, then carry
+the Soutache back to the bottom of the petal and fasten it
+down, like the gold threads in fig. <a href="./chapter_6.html#fig_242">242</a>, by a stitch rather
+wider than the Soutache, fold the Soutache over again to the
+starting point, and secure it by a stitch, and so on. In order
+to give a different character to the flowers, use Soutache of
+different widths, fold it over more or less closely and lay it
+down in shorter or longer lengths, as required. The natural
+irregularity of the petals of a flower can be very faithfully
+imitated in this manner. Fig. <a href="#fig_883">883</a> shows the way in which, for
+the ears of corn, the braid is folded back upon itself and
+fastened down, whilst in the white flowers the two layers of
+the braid that form each petal are separated at the bottom.</p>
+
+<p>The stamens of the marguerites are worked in knot stitch
+with yellow cotton and those of the cornflowers with dark blue.</p>
+
+<p>The other little details are executed in flat and stem stitch
+in the colours indicated at the foot of the engraving. With the
+<a name="Page_550" id="Page_550"></a>pattern to go by, the distribution of the colours for the different
+parts can present no possible difficulty.</p>
+
+<p><a name="Page_551" id="Page_551"></a></p>
+<p>We need only point out that Rouge-Cardinal 348 is intended
+for the little knot that connects the stalks of the flowers.</p>

+<p>The kind of gauze which forms the foundation of the original
+work can be replaced either by Spanish or Rhodes linen
+No. 2, by any stuff, in fact, the threads of which can be
+counted.</p>
+
+<p>The drawing has to be transferred to the stuff, and the
+different parts are filled in with the stitches, clearly indicated
+in the illustration.</p>
+
+<p>By the introduction of several colours, this pattern is capable
+of being infinitely varied.</p>
+
+<p>Thus, in the model before us, the neck and bulb of the
+<a name="Page_552" id="Page_552"></a>flask, the leaves it stands upon and those attached to the flowers
+in it, are worked in Vert-Pistache 367, the handles, the ornament
+on the bottle, and the triangular figure in the centre
+are in white; the little flower on the left, the second on the
+right, the straight staff, the upper wings of the butterfly, as
+well as the three leaves underneath the triangle are in Bleu-Indigo
+334; the first flower on the right of the flask, the knot
+above the triangle, the lower wings of the butterfly and the
+middle part of the bottom subject on the right of the engraving
+are in Gris-Amadou 383; and Violet-lie-de-vin and
+Brun-Caroubier 357 alternate in the pointed leaves that support
+the flask; the former colour recurs in the ornaments of
+the staff, and Rouge-Cardinal 347, black and Gris-Tilleul
+alternate in the other details of the drawing.</p>
+
+<p>For the setting it will be best to take Or fin D.M.C pour
+la broderie or else Chin&eacute; d'or D.M.C, used either double or
+single, according to whichever the drawing seems to require.</p>

+<h2><a name="Practical_directions" id="Practical_directions"></a>Practical directions.</h2>
+<hr style="width: 15%;" />
+
+
+<p>Hitherto we have been chiefly occupied with descriptions
+and explanations of the different kinds of needlework; to render
+these complete, it remains for us to give a few practical directions
+with regard to the copying, adjustment and transposition
+of the patterns, as well as to the different processes, often so
+essential to the ultimate success of a piece of needlework. For
+this success will soon be found not to depend on the stitches
+only but very largely on the proper adaptation of the design to
+the space it is intended to fill.</p>
+
+<p>Then, in the case of new lace, it is necessary to know
+the amount of dressing it will require to give it the right stiffness
+and when this dressing has worn off how to renew it;
+whilst in the case of appliqu&eacute; work more especially, it is indispensable
+to know exactly what the ingredients are, of which
+the paste should be composed and how to make and lay it on
+in the proper manner.</p>
+
+<p><b><a name="Tracing_patterns" id="Tracing_patterns"></a>Tracing patterns against a window pane.</b>&mdash;In order
+to copy a pattern in this way, the first step is to tack or pin
+the piece of stuff or paper on which the copy is to be made
+upon the pattern. In the case of a small pattern, the tacking
+<a name="Page_554" id="Page_554"></a>or pinning may be dispensed with and the two sheets held
+firmly pressed against the window pane with the left hand,
+whilst the right hand does the tracing, but even then it is safer
+to pin or gum the four corners of the two sheets together, in
+case of interruption, as it is difficult to fit them together again
+exactly.</p>
+
+<p>The tracing may be done with a pencil, or better still,
+with a brush dipped in Indian ink or water-colour paint.</p>
+
+<p>The process of tracing is easy enough, so long as the hand
+does not get tired but as this generally comes to pass very soon
+it is best, if the pattern be a large and complicated one, to
+stick the sheets to the pane with strong gum or suspend them
+on a string, fastened across the pane by pins stuck into the
+window frame on either side.</p>
+
+<p><b>To take off a pattern by rubbing.</b>&mdash;If you want to take
+a pattern of a piece of embroidery direct from the work itself,
+lay it, the right side up, flat upon a board or table and cover
+it with letter or tissue paper.</p>
+
+<p>The paper should be of a good medium thickness, if it be
+too thick it will not take a clear impression of the pattern, and
+if very thin it is apt to tear.</p>
+
+<p>Fasten the paper down upon the embroidery with drawing-pins
+and rub off the pattern with drawing-wax. In default of
+the right kind of wax, the bowl or handle of a spoon, or a
+large silver coin will serve the purpose equally well, as will
+also some powdered graphite or charcoal. The outlines will
+not of course, in any case, be very clearly defined upon the paper
+and will have to be gone over and carefully supplemented afterwards
+with a pencil.</p>
+
+<p>Taking off the pattern with charcoal or graphite is less
+injurious to the embroidery than rubbing it off with wax or
+metal, as the pressure required in the latter case flattens the
+needle-work very considerably. As soon as you have fixed the
+lines of the pattern by drawing them over with ink, it is ready
+for use.</p>
+
+<p><b>To transfer a pattern direct on to the stuff.</b>&mdash;Patterns
+cannot be copied by either of the above methods direct on to
+the stuff and can only be used when the stuff on which the
+<a name="Page_555" id="Page_555"></a>embroidery is to be executed is transparent; in the case of thick
+close fabrics the drawing must be made on the stuff itself. The
+following is the simplest way of transferring a pattern on to a
+transparent stuff; begin by going over all the lines of the drawing
+with Indian ink so as to make them quite thick and
+distinct, and tacking the paper with large stitches on to the
+back of the stuff. Then, mix some very dark powdered indigo
+diluted with water, in a glass with a small pinch of sugar and
+powdered gum arabic, and using this as ink and a fine pen
+very slightly split, trace the pattern that shines through on
+the stuff.</p>
+
+<p>The tracing must be very slight, for if the embroidery be
+not done till some time afterwards the lines get so firmly fixed
+in the stuff that one washing will not obliterate them; the
+tracing ink moreover makes the work unpleasantly sticky.</p>
+
+<p><b>To copy with oiled paper</b>.&mdash;Another rather expeditious
+mode of transferring patterns on to thin and more especially
+smooth glossy stuffs, is by means of a special kind of tinted
+paper, called autographic paper, which is impregnated with a
+coloured oily substance and is to be had at any stationer's
+shop. This you place between the pattern and the stuff,
+having previously fastened the stuff, perfectly straight by the
+line of the thread, to a board, with drawing-pins. When you
+have fitted the two papers likewise exactly together, you go over
+all the lines of the pattern with a blunt pencil, or with, what
+is better still, the point of a bone crochet needle or the edge
+of a folder. You must be careful not to press so heavily upon the
+pattern paper as to tear it; by the pressure exercised on the two
+sheets of paper, the oily substance of the blue paper discharges
+itself on to the stuff, so that when it is removed all the lines
+you have traced are imprinted upon the stuff.</p>
+
+<p>This blue tracing paper is however only available for the
+reproduction of patterns on washing stuffs, as satin and all
+other silky textures are discoloured by it.</p>
+
+<p><b>To pounce patterns upon stuffs.</b>&mdash;The modes of copying,
+hitherto described, cannot be indiscriminately used for all
+kinds of stuff; for cloth, velvet and plush, for instance, they
+are not available and pouncing is the only way that answers.</p><p><a name="Page_556" id="Page_556"></a></p>
+
+<p>The patterns, after having been transferred to straw or
+parchment paper, have to be pricked through. To do this you
+lay the paper upon cloth or felt and prick out all the lines of
+the drawing, making the holes, which should be clear and
+round, all exactly the same distance apart.</p>
+
+<p>The closer and more complicated the pattern is, the finer
+and closer the holes should be. Every line of the outline must
+be carefully pricked out.</p>
+
+<p>If the paper be sufficiently thin, several pouncings can be
+pricked at the same time, and a symmetrical design can be
+folded together into four and all pricked at once.</p>
+
+<p>The pricked pattern has next to be tacked upon the material,
+the side from which the pricking was done next to the
+stuff and the little funnel-shaped holes uppermost. Paper and
+stuff must be firmly fastened down and kept in position by
+drawing pins, so that neither of them may move during the
+process, otherwise you will have double lines on the stuff which
+you will find very confusing afterwards.</p>
+
+<p>For the pouncing, use either powdered chalk or charcoal,
+according to whether the stuff be dark or light in colour. Dip
+the pouncing implement, a thing like a small drum-stick, stuffed
+and covered with cloth, into the powder and rub it lightly over
+the whole surface of the pricked pattern, so that the powder
+penetrates through the pin-holes to the stuff. In default of a
+proper pouncing implement take a small stripe of cloth, roll
+it up round a stick and wind a string round, and dip this into
+the powder.</p>
+
+<p>When the powder has penetrated to the stuff, remove the
+paper and if the pattern is to be repeated, lay it on again
+further on, taking care to make the lines meet exactly so that
+the join may not be seen.</p>
+
+<p>When you have finished the pouncing and taken off the
+paper, you proceed to draw or rather paint in the pattern
+with water-colour paints: Ackermann's are the best for the
+purpose; no others, as far as our experience has proved, adhere
+so well to even the roughest fabrics or so little affect the
+brilliancy of the embroidery thread. Four paints, blue, black,
+<a name="Page_557" id="Page_557"></a>yellow and white are sufficient for all purposes, whatever the
+colour of the stuff may be.</p>
+
+<p>On a smooth surface the tracing may be done with a pen
+but a small sable-hair brush is preferable under all circumstances.</p>
+
+<p>The rougher and more hairy the surface, the finer the
+brush ought to be, in order that the colour may sink well in
+between the fibres.</p>
+
+<p>Before beginning to paint in the pattern, gently blow away
+all the superfluous powder from the surface. This process may
+be objected to as being an old one which has been superseded
+by new inventions; a resinous powder for instance, by the use
+of which patterns can be fixed, as soon as they have been pounced,
+by passing a hot iron over the stuff, a sheet of paper
+having first been laid upon it to protect it; or else a mixture
+of gum and powder which can be dissolved on the stuff itself
+by the steam of spirits-of-wine, and various other processes
+needless to mention here, as some are only useful in tracing
+patterns on a large scale, whilst others require a variety of
+appliances, not as a rule, within the reach of those to whom
+needle-work is a simple recreation.</p>
+
+<p><b><a name="The_preparation_of_the_stuffs" id="The_preparation_of_the_stuffs"></a>The preparation of the stuffs and the subdivision of
+the patterns</b>.&mdash;Long years of experience and practice have
+brought us in contact with a good many designers, many of
+them artists in their way, so long as it was only a question of
+putting their own compositions on paper but who yet found
+themselves confronted by real difficulties the moment they were
+called upon to transfer them to stuff.</p>
+
+<p>We shall, as far as possible, point out to our readers the
+precautions to be taken in tracing patterns and must for that
+purpose go back to one of the first operations, namely that
+of pricking.</p>
+
+<p>To begin with, the paper on which the pattern is should
+always be large enough for there to be a clear margin of from
+4 to 5 c/m. all round the pattern, so that the pouncing instrument
+may never come in contact with the stuff beneath.</p>
+
+<p>In transferring patterns to stuff, no lines of division should
+<a name="Page_558" id="Page_558"></a>ever be made directly upon it either with lead, chalk or charcoal,
+as it is hardly ever possible entirely to obliterate them
+and they often become very confusing afterwards.</p>
+
+<p>Before beginning the tracing, divide your stuff into four,
+then decide what the width of the border outside the pattern
+is to be; it is quite an exceptional thing to carry a pattern
+right up to the edge. Stuffs that will take a bend, such as all
+linen and cotton textures, can be folded in four, like the paper,
+the folds ought then to be pinched and pressed down so that
+the lines may remain clear and distinct until the tracing be
+finished.</p>
+
+<p>After dividing it into four, mark out the diagonal lines;
+these are absolutely necessary in order to get the corner
+figures rightly placed.</p>
+
+<p>Though most of our readers know how to make these lines
+on paper with a pencil and ruler, few, easy as it is, know how
+to make them upon stuff. You have only to fold over the
+corner of your piece of stuff so that the outside thread of the
+warp or cut edge run parallel with the woof edge which
+marks the angle of the fold-over.</p>
+
+<p>This double folding over divides the ground into 8 parts.
+To arrange for the outside border or margin, is easy enough
+if the stuff and the kind of work you are going to do upon
+it admit of the drawing out of threads, as then a thread
+drawn out each way serves as a guide for tracing the pattern,
+straight to the line of the stuff. It is often better however,
+not to draw out the threads for an open-work border till the
+pattern be traced. If you do not wish or are not able to draw out
+threads to mark the pattern and you are working on a stuff of
+which the threads can be counted, follow the directions given
+on page <a href="./chapter_7.html#Page_128">128</a>, and explained in fig. <a href="./chapter_7.html#fig_252">252</a>.</p>
+
+<p>You cannot mark cloth, silk stuffs or plush by folding them
+in the above way, cloth and some kinds of silken textures will
+not take a bend and others that will would be spoiled by it.</p>
+
+<p>All such stuffs should be mounted in a frame, before the
+pattern be traced and the ground be then divided out in the
+following way: take a strong thread, make a knot at one end,
+<a name="Page_559" id="Page_559"></a>stick a pin into it and tighten the knot round it; with a pair of
+compasses, divide one of the sides into two equal parts, stick
+the pin with the knot round it in at the middle and the same
+on the opposite side, putting in a second pin by means of
+which you stretch the thread; carry other threads across in a
+similar way, in the width of the stuff and from corner to corner
+and you will have your ground correctly marked out, in such
+a manner as to leave no marks when, after pouncing in the
+pattern, you remove the threads. Before finishing the pouncing
+of a pattern, see that it is the right size for the purpose it is
+intended for.</p>
+
+<p>Supposing that you are tracing a border with a corner, you
+should measure the length it will occupy and then by a very
+light pouncing, you can mark the points from which the pattern
+will have to be repeated. It may be that a gap will be left
+in the middle, which, if not too large, can be got rid of without
+altering the pattern by pushing the whole thing a little further
+in and so shortening the distance between the two corners.</p>
+
+<p>Should the gap however be too large for this, you will
+have to make a supplementary design to fill up the place. The
+same thing would be necessary in the case of your having to
+shorten a pattern.</p>
+
+<p><b><a name="To_transpose_and_repeat_patterns" id="To_transpose_and_repeat_patterns"></a>To transpose and repeat patterns by means of looking-glasses</b>
+(fig. <a href="#fig_885">885</a>).&mdash;We have referred to the necessity that
+often occurs of adapting patterns to certain given proportions;
+this can in most cases be done easily enough without the help
+of a draughtsman, especially in the case of cross stitch embroideries,
+by means of two unframed looking-glasses (Penelope
+mirrors, as they are called) used in the following manner.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 600px;">
+<img src="images/899.jpg"  alt="FIG. 885. TO TRANSPOSE AND REPEAT A STRAIGHT PATTERN BY MEANS
+OF LOOKING GLASSES." title="" />
+<a name="fig_885" id="fig_885"></a><span class="caption smcap">Fig. 885. To transpose and repeat a straight pattern by means
+of looking glasses.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>If you want to utilize a piece only of a straight border, or
+after repeating it several times, to form a corner with it, you
+place the mirror in the first instance across it at right angles,
+at the place from which the pattern is to be repeated, and
+then exactly diagonally inwards.</p>
+
+<p>To make a square out of a straight pattern, you take two
+mirrors and so place them that they touch at the point where
+the diagonal lines meet, as represented in fig. <a href="#fig_885">885</a>, and you
+have your square at once.</p><p><a name="Page_560" id="Page_560"></a></p>
+
+<p>This is all easy enough, but before beginning any large
+piece of work it is necessary to consider carefully which parts
+of the drawing will best fill the centre and which are best suited
+to form the corners, as it is not every part of a straight pattern
+that is adapted for repetition.</p>
+
+<p>A few preliminary trials with the help of the mirrors will
+better show the importance of these explanations than anything
+further we can say on the subject.</p>
+
+<p><b><a name="To_alter_the_proportions_of_a_pattern" id="To_alter_the_proportions_of_a_pattern"></a>To alter the proportions of a pattern by dividing the
+ground into squares</b> (figs. <a href="#fig_886">886</a> and <a href="#fig_887">887</a>).&mdash;Cases will occur
+where it will be found necessary to subject the pattern to
+greater modifications still than those we have hitherto been
+dealing with.</p>
+
+<p>You want, for example, to embroider a rather large running
+ground pattern on a piece of stuff, that is relatively too small
+for the subject; or a small and rather minute pattern on a large
+surface on which it is likely to look, either too insignificant, or
+too crowded and confused and the chances are, if you do not
+know how to draw, you will either think it necessary to get
+a draughtsman to help you or you will give up the piece of
+<a name="Page_561" id="Page_561"></a>work altogether, deterred by the difficulties that confront you.
+You need not do either if you will follow the directions here
+given.</p>
+
+<p>Take a sheet of large-sized quadrille paper which if necessary
+you can prepare for yourself; trace your pattern upon it,
+or rule the squares direct upon the drawing, as shown in

+</div>
+
+<p>On a second sheet of vegetable paper, rule squares, a fourth,
+a third or half as small again as those on the first sheet. Thus,
+if the sides of the first squares be 15 m/m. long and you want
+to reduce your pattern by one fifth, the sides of your new
+squares should measure only 12 m/m.</p>
+
+<p>If, on the contrary, you want to enlarge the pattern by one
+fifth, make the sides of your squares 18 m/m. long.</p>
+
+<p>Then you follow, square by square, the lines of the drawing,
+<a name="Page_562" id="Page_562"></a>extending or contracting them, according to whether the pattern
+is to be enlarged or diminished.</p>
+
+<p>To copy a pattern directly from a piece of embroidery and
+enlarge or diminish it at the same time, proceed as follows:
+fix the embroidery on a board, stretching it equally in every
+direction; then measure the length of the drawing, divide the
+centimetres by the number of units corresponding to whatever
+the proportions of your copy are to be, and if there be any
+fractions of centimetres over, subdivide them into millimetres,
+if necessary, into half millimetres and make your division by
+whatever measure you have adopted; take a pair of compasses
+with dry points, open them sufficiently for the opening to
+correspond to the number and the distance obtained by the
+division; plant a pin with a thread fastened to it, at the point
+indicated by the point of the compasses and repeat the last
+operation all along one side of the embroidery and, if possible
+a little beyond it, so that it may not be defaced by the
+marks of the pins. All you now have to do is to pull the
+threads in perfectly straight lines to the opposite side and
+carry other threads across them in a similar manner so that the
+whole surface be divided into squares.</p>

+
+<p>It is needless to say that if you have to trace a pattern
+from a mounted piece of work you cannot stretch it on a
+<a name="Page_563" id="Page_563"></a>board; with a little invention however some way can always
+be found of planting the pins so as not to injure the work.</p>
+
+<p><b>To alter the width of a pattern retaining the original
+height</b> (figs. <a href="#fig_888">888</a>, <a href="#fig_889">889</a>, <a href="#fig_890">890</a>).&mdash;Sometimes it is necessary to
+lengthen out a pattern without however altering its height.
+In this case you modify the shape of the square and make
+long or narrow squares, according to the general shape of the
+<a name="Page_564" id="Page_564"></a>design you wish to reproduce. Fig. <a href="#fig_888">888</a> represents a pattern
+in Soutache D.M.C, marked out in squares; in fig. <a href="#fig_889">889</a> the
+squares are lengthened out a third beyond their original size
+and the pattern is expanded; in fig. <a href="#fig_890">890</a>, the squares are
+compressed to a third less than their original size.</p>
+
+<p>This method of subdividing patterns greatly facilitates the
+alterations they have so often to undergo and we are sure
+that there are few amongst those who have any real aptitude
+for needlework, who cannot draw enough to be able to copy
+the contents of a square.</p>

+<p><b><a name="To_prepare_the_paste" id="To_prepare_the_paste"></a>To prepare the paste for appliqu&eacute; work</b>.&mdash;It may seem
+strange to devote a separate paragraph to such an apparently
+simple operation; but in appliqu&eacute; work it is a most important
+one, as not only the stuff on which the work is done but
+all the expensive accessories are liable to be spoilt by paste
+that has been badly prepared.</p>
+
+<p>Put some wheaten (not rice) starch into a vessel with a
+rounded bottom, pour on just enough water to dissolve the
+starch and stir it with a wooden spoon till it becomes perfectly
+smooth.</p>
+
+<p>In the meantime put about &frac14; of a pint of clean water on
+the fire to boil and when it boils add to it a little powdered
+pitch or carpenter's glue, in quantity about the size of a pea
+and pour in the starch, stirring it the whole time. When the
+mixture has boiled up several times take it off the fire and go
+on stirring it till it gets cold, otherwise lumps will form in it,
+which as we specially pointed out in the preceding chapter,
+must never be allowed to get in between the stuff and the paper.</p>
+
+<p>This kind of paste makes no spots and does not injure even
+the most delicate colours as it contains no acid. In winter it
+will keep for several days, but in hot weather it very soon
+begins to ferment and should then on no account be used.</p>
+
+<p>Gum arabic ought never to be used for appliqu&eacute; work, as
+it becomes so hard that it is impossible to get the needle
+through, whilst the saccharine it contains almost always causes
+ugly spots to appear in the stuff when it dries.</p><p><a name="Page_565" id="Page_565"></a></p>
+
+<p>When the work is finished it is a good plan to spread a very
+thin layer of paste over the entire back of it with a fine brush
+made of hog's bristles, and not to take it out of the frame
+until it is perfectly dry.</p>
+
+<p><b><a name="To_stiffen_new_needlework" id="To_stiffen_new_needlework"></a>To stiffen new needlework.</b>&mdash;In the chapter on Irish
+lace, page <a href="./chapter_13.html#Page_441">441</a>, we said that new needlework of that kind
+had to be ironed; this should be done in the following manner:
+when the lace has been taken off its foundation, lay it, face
+downwards, on a piece of fine white flannel; then dip a piece
+of very stiff new organdie muslin into water, take it out again
+almost immediately and wring it slightly, so that no drops
+may fall from it, and then dab the wrong side of the lace
+all over with this pad of damp muslin and iron it with a hot
+iron which should be moved slowly forwards so that the moisture
+which the organdie has imparted to the lace may evaporate
+slowly. Not until you are quite sure that the lace is dry
+should it be taken off the board.</p>
+
+<p>There is no better way than this of giving new lace that
+almost imperceptible degree of stiffness by which alone it is often
+to be distinguished from old. Water only does not stiffen
+the thread sufficiently and it is difficult with starch to hit upon
+exactly the right consistency, whereas the organdie muslin
+supplies just the needful quantity.</p>
+
+<p>Embroidered network can be stiffened in the same manner
+and should be damped in the frame on the wrong side and not
+taken off until it is quite dry.</p>
+
+<p>We even recommend embroidery on linen being treated in
+the same way but when the linen is very creased, cover it with
+a damp cloth and iron upon that first, then take the cloth
+away and iron the embroidery itself so as to dry it completely.</p>
+
+<p><b><a name="To_wash_ordinary_lace" id="To_wash_ordinary_lace"></a>To wash ordinary lace.</b>&mdash;Wind it round a bottle the
+same width top and bottom and cover it entirely with muslin,
+fastened to the lace by a few stitches. Fill the bottle half full
+of sand, so that it may not get knocked about too violently
+when the water boils.</p>
+
+<p>Immerse the bottle in a saucepan of cold water with a piece
+<a name="Page_566" id="Page_566"></a>of soap the size of a nut in it, and if the lace be very dirty, a small
+pinch of salt, and let it boil for about an hour pouring off the
+water as it gets dirty and adding clean.</p>
+
+<p>When all the dirt has been boiled out of the lace, which
+you will know to be the case when the water remains perfectly
+clear, rinse out the soap before you take the lace off the bottle,
+by plunging it into cold water.</p>
+
+<p><b><a name="To_wash_real_lace" id="To_wash_real_lace"></a>To wash real lace.</b>&mdash;The process is the same as the above,
+but as real lace is so seldom washed and is generally very
+yellow and fragile, particularly if it has been roughly used, it
+is rather difficult to clean.</p>
+
+<p>If stained or greasy, it should be left to soak for some
+hours or even days, in good olive oil. This restores to the
+thread that softness and smoothness which use and bad washing
+had impaired. After the oil bath it should be washed on
+a bottle in the manner already described.</p>
+
+<p><b><a name="To_stiffen_lace" id="To_stiffen_lace"></a>To stiffen lace.</b>&mdash;Dip the lace when perfectly dry in thin
+starch prepared as follows.</p>
+
+<p>Take as much fine wheaten starch, as you think you
+will require, divide it into two portions and dissolve both in
+cold water. Boil the one portion and when it has so far cooled
+as to have ceased to steam, stir the cold starch into it and
+dilute the whole with cold water to the consistency of thick
+cream. If the lace is to be slightly coloured, add a few drops
+of black coffee, or dilute the starch with weak tea or guimauve
+water; the coffee will give it a dark cream colour, either of
+the latter a pale greenish hue.</p>
+
+<p>Dip the lace in the mixture and squeeze it out gently without
+wringing it to get rid of all the superfluous liquid, then
+lay it flat on the left hand and beat it for a few minutes with
+the right to work the starch well in; repeat the whole process
+twice, then roll the lace in fine linen and leave it there till you
+are ready to iron or pin it out, as the case may be.</p>
+
+<p><b><a name="To_iron_lace" id="To_iron_lace"></a>To iron lace.</b>&mdash;After the lace has lain for an hour or two
+in the cloth, iron it if it be machine-made and if it be Irish
+Guipure or real point lace of any sort, pin it out.</p><p><a name="Page_567" id="Page_567"></a></p>
+
+<p>Before you begin to iron, hold the lace tight in your left
+hand by the footing and with the right hand pull out all the
+picots, along the edge of the lace, to an equal length, then lay
+it out flat upon a board covered with white flannel and iron
+it with a moderately hot iron, passing the iron backwards and
+forwards over it until it be quite dry.</p>
+
+<p>If creases should come in the ironing where they ought not
+to be, dab them over lightly with a sponge moistened with
+water and a few drops of starch and pass the iron over them
+again.</p>
+
+<p>After ironing the whole length of lace, pull it out crossways
+from left to right, and from right to left and iron it all over
+once more. This does away with the artificial stiffness and
+gives it the agreable softness and pliancy of new lace.</p>
+
+<p><b><a name="To_pin_out_lace" id="To_pin_out_lace"></a>To pin out lace.</b>&mdash;In order to pin out lace in a thoroughly
+satisfactory manner, you should provide yourself with a wooden
+drum, about 30 c/m. high and from 50 to 60 c/m. in diameter,
+large enough to rest upon the knees.</p>
+
+<p>The outside circumference of the wood should be padded
+and covered with grey or white ticking.</p>
+
+<p>The pins must be exactly the size of the picots they are
+to pin down; you will require extremely fine ones for Valenciennes
+and coarser for other kinds of lace: steel pins are of no
+use whatever, because of their liability to rust. Cover the cylinder
+with blue paper (less trying for the eyes than any other) and
+take only just as much lace out of the damp cloth as you are
+likely to be able to pin out before it gets dry, keeping the remainder
+covered up.</p>
+
+<p>Lay the lace upon the drum and pin the footing down first
+in a straight line, sticking the pins in pretty closely and at
+regular distances apart; then pin down each picot separately,
+taking care not to open them if they have kept their original
+shape and to shut them up by twisting them if they have got
+untwisted.</p>
+
+<p>If you find the pinning out troublesome and cannot get it all
+done before the lace dries, damp the picots with a sponge as
+you proceed.</p><p><a name="Page_568" id="Page_568"></a></p>
+
+<p>Lace should never be pinned out when it is dry as the
+threads of the picots are then very apt to break and torn picots
+destroy the value of even the choicest lace.</p>
+
+<p>Raised lace has to be stamped out from the wrong side
+with a lace awl or kind of pricker of bone made for the purpose.
+Some professional lace-cleaners use this implement even for
+Valenciennes lace but we cannot recommend it, seeing that it
+is a lace that is by nature perfectly flat.</p>
+
+<p>Let the length of lace you have pinned out remain on the
+drum till it be quite dry; if you have several yards to pin out,
+wind it round and round the cylinder. Cover up the lace as you
+proceed and put each length away as soon as it is ready in
+a blue paper bag, so as to keep the whole perfectly clean.</p>
+
+<p>In conclusion we may remark that the cleaning of lace
+should only be undertaken when you are fairly sure of not
+being interrupted, as more especially the pinning requires to
+be finished off as quickly as possible.</p>
+
+<p><b><a name="To_wash_coloured_cottons" id="To_wash_coloured_cottons"></a>To wash coloured cottons and work done with the
+same</b>.&mdash;In order to test the fastness of the dyes, untie the
+skeins and pour boiling water upon them, leave them to soak
+for about a quarter of an hour, soap and rub them lightly
+with the hand from end to end and rinse them out thoroughly
+in as many changes of cold water as may be found necessary,
+until the water remain perfectly colourless.</p>
+
+<p>Squeeze out all the water you can and let them dry quickly
+without exposing them to the sun.</p>
+
+<p>Coloured cottons are often washed in vinegar, because it is
+supposed to affect the colour less than water does. We
+have come to the conclusion after several trials that this is a
+delusion, for the good dyes keep their colour without the aid
+of vinegar and the bad ones wash out in spite of it.</p>
+
+<p>The fast colours lose none of their beauty in the process
+nor does it affect the quality of the cotton; any excess of colouring
+matter which the fibres of the cotton may have absorbed
+in the process of dyeing is got rid of by this means.</p>
+
+<p>If a piece of work has been done with unwashed cottons
+and the colours run in the first washing, you have only to rinse
+<a name="Page_569" id="Page_569"></a>it out in several changes of tepid water to restore it to its
+original freshness and if you want to give it a yellowish tinge,
+it should be dipped it in weak tea or coffee.</p>
+
+<p><b><a name="Materials" id="Materials"></a>Materials.</b>&mdash;It was stated in the preface that our readers
+would find the choice of colours and material rendered comparatively
+easy to them by the notes affixed to the illustrations,
+but these notes, in spite of all the care bestowed upon them
+must still have remained very incomplete had it not been for the
+following tables which we were fortunately enabled to append
+to our work and which will help every one to choose their own
+materials without having them actually before them. The
+strokes that are affixed to each number indicate the exact size
+of the thread, so that to find out the number you want to buy
+you have but to lay your pattern thread, stretching it slightly,
+on the strokes, in succession, till you come to the one that
+matches it in size.</p>
+
+<p>With regard to the colours, the names and shades of which
+have been classed in the second table with the greatest care, and
+of which our workers have no less than 460 to choose from <a name="FNanchor_3_158" id="FNanchor_3_158"></a><a href="#Footnote_3_158" class="fnanchor">[3]</a>,
+all those referred to in connection with our illustrations are
+quite fast dyes <a name="FNanchor_4_159" id="FNanchor_4_159"></a><a href="#Footnote_4_159" class="fnanchor">[4]</a>, save in a few instances in which we
+were forced to make an exception in favour of a doubtful colour
+to secure a harmonious effect.</p>
+
+<p>A complete table of colours must of necessity include certain
+more or less staring shades, which though they may not
+be to every one's taste cannot on that account be left out.</p>
+
+<p>We conclude our work with the well-meant and by no
+means useless recommendation to our readers, never to begin
+a piece of work of any considerable size without first making
+sure that the colours they intend to use are fast and providing
+themselves with a larger supply of materials than even on a close
+calculation they think they are likely to require, lest
+<a name="Page_570" id="Page_570"></a><a name="Page_571" id="Page_571"></a><a name="Page_572" id="Page_572"></a><a name="Page_573" id="Page_573"></a>they should find themselves under the disagreable necessity of
+having either to leave their work unfinished or finish it with
+materials that do not match. There is generally a slight difference
+in tone between cottons that have been bought at different times,
+and there is also a reasonable likelihood, considering their
+great variety, of some mistake being made in the number by
+either buyer or seller in ordering a fresh supply.</p>

+<h2><a name="Mending" id="Mending"></a>Mending.</h2>
+
+
+<p>The mending of wearing-apparel and house-linen, though
+often an ungrateful task, is yet a very necessary one, to which
+every female hand ought to be carefully trained. How best
+to disguise and repair the wear and tear of use or accident
+is quite as valuable an art, as that of making new things.</p>
+
+<p>Under the head of mending, we include the strengthening
+and replacing of the worn and broken threads of a fabric, and
+fitting in of new stuff in the place of that which is torn or
+damaged. The former is called darning, the latter, patching.</p>
+
+<p><b>Darning.</b>&mdash;When only a few of the warp or woof threads
+are torn or missing, a darn will repair the mischief, provided
+the surrounding parts be sound. When the damage is more
+extensive, the piece must be cut out.</p>
+
+<p>In some cases the warp of the stuff itself can be used for
+darning, otherwise thread as much like the stuff as possible
+should be chosen.</p>
+
+<p><b>Materials suitable for mending.</b>&mdash;Coton &agrave; repriser D.M.C
+is used for most kinds of darning. It can be had in 18 different
+sizes, from Nos. 8 to 100, white and unbleached, and in
+all the colours of the D.M.C colour-card in Nos. 12, 25 and 50.</p>
+
+<p>It is but very slightly twisted and can be split or used
+double, if necessary, according to the material. For all the
+coarser articles of house-linen, unbleached cotton is the best,
+<a name="Page_16" id="Page_16"></a>and for the finer white fabrics, Coton surfin D.M.C Nos. 110,
+120 and 150<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a>. This cotton, which is not the least twisted,
+and is to be had both white and unbleached, can be used, by
+subdividing it, for darning the finest cambric.</p>
+
+<p><b>Varieties of darning.</b>&mdash;These are four, (1) Linen darning,
+(2) Damask darning, (3) Satin or Twill darning, and (4) Invisible
+darning, called also, Fine-drawing.</p>
+
+<p><a name="linen_darning" id="linen_darning"></a>(1) <b>Linen Darning</b> (figs. <a href="#fig_40">40</a> and <a href="#fig_41">41</a>).&mdash;All darns should be
+made on the wrong side of the stuff, excepting fig. <a href="#fig_54">54</a>, which it
+is sometimes better to make on the right side. The longitudinal
+running, to form the warp, must be made first. The
+thread must not be drawn tightly in running your stitches
+backwards and forwards, and be careful to leave loops at each
+turning, to allow for the shrinking of the thread in the
+washing, without its pulling the darn together.</p>
+

+Linen darning. Drawing in the
+warp threads.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>Run your needle in, about one c/m. above the damaged
+part, take up one or two threads of the stuff and miss the same
+number, working straight to a thread; on reaching the hole,
+carry your cotton straight across it, take up alternate threads
+beyond, and proceed as before. Continue the rows backwards
+and forwards, taking up in each row, the threads left in the
+<a name="Page_17" id="Page_17"></a>preceding one. Turn the work round and do the same for the
+woof; alternately taking up and leaving the warp threads,
+where the cotton crosses the hole. The threads must lie so
+alone both ways, that the darn, when completed, replaces the
+original web. The threads are only drawn so far apart in the
+illustrations, for the sake of clearness.</p>

+</div>
+
+<p>When the material to be darned does not admit of a fleecy
+thread, such as Coton &agrave; repriser D.M.C, one that as nearly
+as possible matches the material, should be chosen from
+the D.M.C cottons.<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a></p>
+
+<p><b>Diagonal linen darning</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_42">42</a>).&mdash;Darns are sometimes
+begun from the corner, so as to form a diagonal web, but they
+are then much more visible than when they are worked
+straight to a thread, and therefore not advisable.</p>

+
+<p><a name="satin_darning" id="satin_darning"></a>(2) <b>Satin or twill darning</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_43">43</a>).&mdash;By twill darning,
+the damaged web of any twilled or diagonal material can be
+restored. It would be impossible to enumerate all the varieties
+of twilled stuffs, but the illustrations and accompanying
+directions will enable the worker to imitate them all.</p>

+</div>
+
+<p>Begin, as in ordinary darning by running in the warp
+threads, then take up one thread, and miss three. In every
+succeeding row, advance one thread in the same direction. Or,
+miss one thread of the stuff and take up two, and as before,
+<a name="Page_18" id="Page_18"></a>advance, one thread in the same direction, every succeeding
+row. The order in which threads
+should be missed and taken up,
+must depend on the web which
+the darn is intended to imitate.</p>
+
+<p>When the original is a coloured
+stuff, it is advisable to make a
+specimen darn first, on a larger
+scale, so that you may be more
+sure of obtaining a correct copy of
+the original web.</p>
+

+<a name="Page_19" id="Page_19"></a>is begun in the same way as all other darns are; the pattern is
+formed by the cross-runnings and will vary with the number
+of warp threads taken up and missed, in each successive
+running. The woven design which you are to copy with your
+needle must therefore be carefully examined first.</p>

+thread and the pattern then worked into this foundation with
+coarser, or else, coloured thread. When this kind of darn is
+in two colours, take, for the
+darker shade, Coton &agrave; broder
+D.M.C, or Coton &agrave; repriser D.M.C,
+which are both of them to be had
+in all the bright and faded shades,

+<p>(4) <b>Darning, lost in the ground</b>
+(fig. <a href="#fig_50">50</a>).&mdash;A kind of darn used
+for repairing rents, the edges of
+which fit exactly into one another.
+Neither the torn threads of the
+material nor the rough edges
+must be cut off; the torn part is to
+be tacked upon a piece of oil-cloth, wrong side uppermost,
+and the edges, drawn together by a thread, run in backwards,
+and forwards, across them. The stitches must be set as closely
+together as possible, and regularly inverted, as in every other
+<a name="Page_20" id="Page_20"></a>darn. A much finer thread relatively than that of which the
+material is composed should, in all cases be used for darning.
+In this instance also, for the sake of greater distinctness, the
+size of the thread has been magnified in the illustration.
+Coton surfin D.M.C, will be found the best for darning both
+calico and linen.</p>

+
+<p><a name="fine_drawing" id="fine_drawing"></a><b>Fine drawing</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_51">51</a>).&mdash;The art of making invisible darns
+in cloth, though such a useful one, is all but unknown. It is a
+tedious process and one which, though easy enough to understand,
+requires great care in the execution.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 200px;">
+<img src="images/054.jpg"  alt="FIG. 51. FINE DRAWING." title="" />
+<a name="fig_51" id="fig_51"></a><span class="caption smcap">Fig. 51. Fine drawing.</span></div>
+
+<p>Use as fine a needle as possible and thread it with hair,
+instead of silk, or any other kind of fibre. Red and white
+hair is the strongest, and stronger than the ravellings of the
+stuff. Of course the hair has first to be carefully cleansed from
+grease. Pare the edges of the rent, on the right sides, quite
+clean and even, with a razor, so that both rent and stitches
+may be lost in the hairy surface of the cloth. Scissors do not
+cut so closely, and are liable moreover, to disturb the nap,
+and render the darn more visible. When this is done, fit the
+edges exactly together, and overcast them. Then thread a
+needle with a hair by the root, and slip it in, 2 or 3 m/m.
+from the one edge and back again pointed towards you,
+through the other, so that, neither needle nor hair, are visible
+on either side. The stitches should be set slightly slanting and
+must be quite lost in the thickness of the cloth. The needle
+must always be put in, exactly at the place where it came
+out, and the hair not be too tightly drawn.</p>
+
+<p>When the darn is finished, lay the article on a bare table,
+or ironing-board, cover it with a damp cloth, and iron it. The
+sharpest eye will fail to detect a rent, when carefully darned
+in this manner.</p>
+
+<p><a name="patching" id="patching"></a><b>Patching</b>.&mdash;As we have already said, when the defective
+part is past darning, it must be cut out, and a new piece of
+stuff inserted in its place. If the garment be no longer new,
+it should be patched with a slighter material than that of
+which it was originally made. The patch should be of the same
+shape, and cut the same way of the stuff, as the piece it is to
+replace, it should also be, just so much larger, as to allow for
+<a name="Page_21" id="Page_21"></a>the turnings in, and can either be top-sewn, or else, run and
+felled in.</p>
+
+<p><b>Back-stitching and felling in a patch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_52">52</a>).&mdash;Tack
+in the new piece, so that its
+edges over-lap the edges of the
+hole. The back-stitching must be
+done on the article itself, as this
+renders it easier to do the corners
+neatly. The hem is turned
+down on to the patch. Make
+a little snip at the corners with
+your scissors to prevent puckering.
+The back-stitching should
+form a right angle at each
+corner.</p>

+fill, draw out threads on all the
+four sides, till the piece exactly
+matches the hole, and tack it

+needle with the two ends of a
+thread of silk or Fil d'Alsace
+D.M.C No. 700, run it in at the
+corner of the stuff, and draw it out, leaving a loop behind.<a name="Page_22" id="Page_22"></a>
+Into this loop, slip the first of the threads, which as it were,
+form a fringe to the patch, and tighten the loop round it, and
+so on with each thread, alternately taking up and leaving
+threads in the stuff, as in ordinary darning.</p>

+<h2><a name="Single_and_cut_Open-work" id="Single_and_cut_Open-work"></a>Single and cut Open-work.</h2>
+
+
+<p>The above heading comprises every sort of needle-work, to
+which the drawing out of threads is a preliminary. By sewing
+over the single threads that remain, and drawing them together
+in different ways, an infinite variety of patterns can be produced.
+Many pretty combinations also, can be made of open-work,
+cross-stitch, and other kinds of embroidery.</p>
+
+<p><b>Materials suitable for open-work.</b>&mdash;For all the coarser
+stuffs, such as Holbein-linen, Java and linen-canvas and the
+like, now in such favour for the imitation of old needlework,
+it will be best to use: Fil &agrave; pointer D.M.C, No. 30<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a>  and Cordonnet
+6 fils D.M.C, Nos. 10 to 20,<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a>  and for the finer stuffs,
+such as antique-linen and linen-gauze; Cordonnet 6 fils D.M.C
+Nos. 50 to 150,<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a>  Fil d'Alsace D.M.C, Nos. 20 to 100, and Fil &agrave;
+dentelle D.M.C, Nos. 25 to 80.</p>
+
+<p>Coloured patterns can also be executed in open-work, with
+Coton &agrave; broder D.M.C Nos. 16 to 35, and Coton &agrave; repriser
+D.M.C, Nos. 25 to 50<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a> .</p>
+
+<p><b>The two different kinds of open-work.</b>&mdash;The one is
+called, single open-work, the Italian Punto tirato, in which
+the first step is to draw out one layer of threads; the other,
+<a name="Page_24" id="Page_24"></a>cut open-work, the Italian Punto tagliato, for which, both
+the warp, and the woof threads, have to be drawn out.</p>
+
+<p><b>Single open-work (Punto tirato)</b>.&mdash;This, in its simplest
+form, is the ornamental latticed hem, in common use where
+something rather more decorative than an ordinary hem (fig.
+<a href="chapter_1.html#fig_8">8</a>) is required, and consists in drawing out one layer of threads,
+either the warp or the woof.</p>
+
+<p><a name="hem_stitching" id="hem_stitching"></a><b>Single hem-stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_55">55</a>).&mdash;Draw out, according to
+the coarseness of the stuff, two or four threads, below the
+edge of the turning, and tack your hem down to the line thus
+drawn. Fasten your thread in
+to the left, and work your hem
+from right to left, taking up
+three or four cross-threads at a
+time, and inserting your needle,
+immediately above, into the
+folded hem, three or four threads from the edge, and then
+drawing it out.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 300px;">

+<a name="fig_55" id="fig_55"></a><span class="caption smcap">Fig. 55. Single hem-stitch.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>The same stitch is used for preventing the fringes, that
+serve as a finish to so many articles of house-linen, from
+ravelling.</p>
+
+<p><b>Second hem-stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_56">56</a>).&mdash;Prepare your hem as for fig. <a href="#fig_55">55</a>, and work from left to right; with this difference, that after
+drawing two or three cross-threads
+together, from right to
+left, you skip the same number
+of perpendicular threads you
+took up below, and insert your
+needle downwards from above,
+bringing it out at the bottom edge of the hem.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 300px;">

+<a name="fig_56" id="fig_56"></a><span class="caption smcap">Fig. 56. Second hem-stitch.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>These stitches, which can
+be used for the right side also,
+form a kind of little tress, along
+the edge of the hem.</p>
+
+<p><b>Ladder stitch hem</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_57">57</a>).
+Complete the hem, as already
+directed in fig. <a href="#fig_55">55</a>, then draw out three or five threads more,
+turn the work round, and repeat the process, taking up the
+<a name="Page_25" id="Page_25"></a>same clusters of threads which you took up in the first row of
+stitches, thus forming little perpendicular bars.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 300px;">

+</div>
+
+<p><b>Double hem-stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_58">58</a>).
+Begin as in fig. <a href="#fig_55">55</a>, forming your
+clusters of an even number of
+threads; and then, in making
+your second row of stitches,
+draw half the threads of one
+cluster, and half of the next
+together, thereby making them
+slant, first one way and then
+the other.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 300px;">
+<img src="images/062.jpg"  alt="FIG. 58. DOUBLE HEM-STITCH." title="" />
+<a name="fig_58" id="fig_58"></a><span class="caption smcap">Fig. 58. Double hem-stitch.</span>

+<p><b>Antique hem-stitch</b> (figs. <a href="#fig_59">59</a>, <a href="#fig_60">60</a>, <a href="#fig_61">61</a> and <a href="#fig_62">62</a>).
+In the old, elaborate, linen needlework, we often meet
+two kinds of hem-stitching
+seldom found in modern
+books on needle-work. Figs. <a href="#fig_59">59</a>
+to <a href="#fig_62">62</a> are magnified representations
+of the same. At the
+necessary depth for forming a
+narrow hem, a thread is drawn,
+in the case of very fine
+textures where the edge is
+rolled, not laid; then fasten in
+the working thread at the left,
+and work the stitches from
+left to right. Passing your
+needle, from right to left, under
+three or four threads, draw the
+thread round the cluster and
+carry your needle on, through
+as many threads of the upper
+layer of stuff, as you took up
+below, so that the stitch may
+always emerge from the middle
+of the cluster.</p>

+here the rolled hem is prepared
+as above, but the stitches are
+worked from right to left, and
+the thread is carried round the
+little roll, so that, as shown in
+fig. <a href="#fig_62">62</a>, it is visible on both
+sides of the hem. The needle
+does not enter the stuff, but is
+carried back at once, from the
+outside, and put in again between
+two clusters of threads.</p>

+turning, between the first and
+second of the three cross-threads
+that compose the cluster, and
+then slip it under the cluster,
+from right to left. The loop
+must lie in front of the needle.
+When you have drawn up the
+stitch, put the needle in, one
+thread further on, and take up
+two threads. Fig. <a href="#fig_64">64</a> shows the

+
+<p>Fig. <a href="#fig_68">68</a> will be found specially useful, in cases where
+the object is, to produce a good deal of effect, at the cost of

+and below.</p>
+
+<p>The second and third, after drawing out six threads, the third

+of an even number of threads. The upper and the lower
+band of open-work is to be copied from fig. <a href="#fig_58">58</a>, the centre
+one, from fig. <a href="#fig_57">57</a>. Divide the threads of the perpendicular
+clusters in two; insert the needle, from left to right, underneath
+half the second cluster, turn the needle's eye, by a
+second movement, from left to right, and take up the second
+part of the first cluster, drawing it under, and at the same
+time, in front of the first half of the second cluster. Be careful
+not to draw your thread too tightly.</p><p><a name="Page_28" id="Page_28"></a></p>

+times round every two clusters, passing the needle, the third
+time, under the two first rounds, to fasten the thread. The
+thread, thus drawn through, must be left rather slack. A second
+row of stitches, similar to the first, and at the same
+distance from the bottom edge, completes this pattern. To
+<a name="Page_29" id="Page_29"></a>give it greater strength, you may if you like, work back over
+the first thread, with a second, taking care to pass it under
+the knot, which was formed by the first.</p>

+<h2><a name="Net_and_damask_stitches" id="Net_and_damask_stitches"></a>Net and damask stitches.</h2>
+
+
+<p>Many net embroidery patterns and damask stitches consist
+of a combination of ordinary running and darning, others of
+chain, stem and cross stitch.</p>
+
+<p><b><a name="Net_embroidery" id="Net_embroidery"></a>Net embroidery.</b>&mdash;All these kinds of stitches can be
+worked on the coarse Greek net, as it is called, as well as on
+the finest quality of real Brussels net.</p>
+
+<p>Stripes of net, finished off with button-hole edging, and
+ornamented with one or other of the following patterns, make
+very pretty washing laces and the like; net laid upon Irish
+point and converted by needlework into a lace ground, makes
+an excellent substitute for a hand-made ground, which demands
+much labour and time.</p>
+
+<p><b>Materials suitable for net embroidery.</b>&mdash;The choice of
+material must be determined by the quality of the net and the
+effect to be produced. For a coarse make of net and a very
+marked pattern, the lowest numbers of D.M.C cottons, or the
+narrowest braids, such as Soutache D.M.C Nos. 1, 2, 3 should
+be used; if the net be fine and the pattern a delicate one,
+then the higher numbers of the following are preferable: Coton
+&agrave; tricoter D.M.C Nos. 8 to 20, Coton &agrave; repriser D.M.C Nos. 25
+to 70, Coton &agrave; broder D.M.C Nos. 16 to 50, Fil &agrave; dentelle
+D.M.C Nos. 25 to 50, Coton &agrave; broder surfin D.M.C Nos. 100,
+120, 150. The latter must be adjusted to the required size
+<a name="Page_52" id="Page_52"></a>before being used, that is to say as many strands of it
+removed, as is necessary in order to reduce it to the proper
+thickness.</p>
+
+<p><b>Tracing with running stitches</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_113">113</a>).&mdash;Have your
+pattern traced on linen or paper; tack the net upon it, and copy
+it carefully on the net with running stitches. As in darning,
+the stitches must run first above and then beneath, alternating
+in each succeeding row. At the turn of the lines, the stitches
+cross each other, as shown in
+the illustration.</p>
+

+too the pattern is traced
+with running stitches, which
+are run in on both sides of
+each row of meshes. The
+thread is carried first to the
+right, and then to the left,
+under every alternate bar of
+the net and out again. Between
+the first and second rows, one
+thread of the foundation must
+be left uncovered. In the next
+row, the thread is carried back again, so that it encircles each
+mesh. In the third row, the thread passes under the same bar
+<a name="Page_53" id="Page_53"></a>of net as in the second, the threads touching each other. The
+fourth row is a repetition of the first.</p>

+triple stitches, also carried diagonally across a mesh, lie from
+right to left.</p>

+the others, for which the thread has to be carried, first under
+one of the straight bars of the
+mesh and then diagonally,
+across it. A second, similar row
+of stitches backwards, completes
+the crosses. This can be
+further varied by the introduction
+of a row of triple stitches,
+after the double row, as in fig. <a href="#fig_115">115</a>, and the repetition of the

+<p><b>Fifth pattern</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_146">146</a>).&mdash;This is worked like fig. <a href="#fig_145">145</a>,
+only that the stitches must cover three threads each way. In
+the second row, you take up one thread on the right and two
+on the left, to form your stitches.</p><p><a name="Page_66" id="Page_66"></a></p>

+
+<p><b>Sixth pattern</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_147">147</a>).&mdash;Here, the stitches form a
+chess-board pattern. You begin with a diagonal stitch over
+two threads and bring your needle up again into the same line
+it started from. The second stitch covers three threads, the
+third six, the fourth eight; the next three decrease, successively
+in length, in the same proportion.</p>

+
+<p><b>Seventh pattern</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_148">148</a>).&mdash;Two kinds of cotton have

+Colon &agrave; repriser D.M.C<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a> (darning cotton) or Coton &agrave; tricoter
+D.M.C (knitting cotton)<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a> for

+
+<p>The five flat stitches cover
+three threads in width and six
+in height, and lie from right to
+left and from left to right. In
+the second row, which must be
+two threads distant from the
+first, the stitches must lie in
+the contrary direction. In the
+<a name="Page_67" id="Page_67"></a>lozenge-shaped space between, make four cross stitches,
+over four threads in height and two in
+width.</p>
+
+<p><b>Eighth pattern</b> (figs. <a href="#fig_149">149</a> and <a href="#fig_150">150</a>).&mdash;Make
+five stitches over 8 horizontal threads,
+miss 6 threads and make another 5 stitches.
+The groups of long stitches above and
+beneath the first row, encroach over two
+threads of the first group, so that a space
+of only four threads remains between two
+groups. The stitch between these groups
+is generally known as the rococo
+stitch.</p>

+consists of straight bands
+of flat stitches, covering three

+<p><b>Tenth and eleventh patterns</b> (figs. <a href="#fig_153">153</a> and <a href="#fig_154">154</a>).&mdash;The

+enough to need no explanation;
+with reference to fig. <a href="#fig_154">154</a>, it is
+however as well to point out that
+the shortest stitch should cover
+4 threads and the longest 12,
+the rest is easily learnt from the
+illustration. This is a very suitable
+design for the decoration of large
+surfaces and combines well with
+any running diagonal pattern,
+when it can be made to form a
+large star which can be worked
+as a separate figure.</p>

+executed on a light, transparent
+stuff, it is best to use a very
+strongly twisted thread, such
+as Fil d'Alsace D.M.C<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a> or, Fil
+&agrave; dentelle D.M.C<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a> instead of
+a softer and looser material. A
+stiff thread compresses the
+threads of the stuff better and
+the open spaces, thus made in
+it, are rendered more visible.</p>

+number of horizontal ones. The second row of stitches touches
+the first, so that the thread it is worked with seems to be
+drawn through under the same threads of the stuff, as the one
+the first row was worked with.</p>

+<p>These rows are intersected by others, to which the thread

+<h2><a name="White_Embroidery" id="White_Embroidery"></a>White Embroidery.</h2>
+
+
+<p>We have retained the familiar term, white embroidery,
+for this kind of needlework, for convenience sake, in spite of
+its inaccuracy, now that coloured materials are quite as much
+used for it as white.</p>
+
+<p>It is executed, either on a backing of oil-cloth, or in an
+embroidery frame, called &laquo;tambour-frame&raquo;. Only skilful
+workers can dispense with these, for an untrained hand can
+hardly avoid puckering. If you work without a foundation, the
+material must be held, quite smoothly over the forefinger, so
+that the threads lie perfectly straight, otherwise, the pattern
+is very apt to get pulled out of shape in the working. With
+your three other fingers you hold the material fast, the thumb
+resting on the work itself, beyond the outline of the pattern,
+which must be turned towards the worker. It is always the
+outside line of a pattern that is drawn in double lines, that
+should be turned towards the palm of the hand.</p>
+
+<p><b>Tracing patterns.</b>&mdash;Patterns are generally to be had ready
+traced, but as it is often necessary to repeat, enlarge, or
+reduce them, descriptions of several modes of doing so, will
+be found at the end of the concluding chapter.</p>
+
+<p><b>Materials.</b>&mdash;A loose, soft make of cotton, the looser the
+better, and very little twisted, is the best material for embroidery.
+We recommend for white embroidery in general, Coton
+<a name="Page_76" id="Page_76"></a>&agrave; broder D.M.C Nos. 16 to 150; for monograms on cambric,
+Coton &agrave; broder surfin D.M.C Nos. 100, 120, 150;<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a> and
+for English or Madeira embroidery, Coton Madeira D.M.C
+Nos. 40, 50, 60;<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a> for padding, or raising the embroidery,
+all the different kinds of Coton &agrave; repriser D.M.C<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a> can be used.</p>
+
+<p><b>Outlining and padding.</b>&mdash;The outlining of a pattern is
+a very important preliminary. A want of precision in the ultimate
+effect is often due, merely to careless outlining. This
+part of the work should be done with rather a coarser cotton
+than the embroidery itself. Fasten in the thread by a few
+running stitches, never with a knot, a rule to be observed also
+in embroidering, except in very rare cases. Finish off your
+thread by drawing it through the tracing stitches, or through
+some part of the pattern that is already finished. Fill in the
+spaces between the lines with a padding of run threads, run
+loosely, and so that they lie thickly and solidly in the centre,
+and shade off on both sides. The fullness,
+and roundness of embroidery,
+depends on the firmness of this sub-stratum
+of threads. The outlining and
+the padding of the different rounded
+and pointed scallops, as well as of other
+figures that occur in white embroidery,
+are illustrated in figs. <a href="#fig_181">181</a>, <a href="#fig_182">182</a>, <a href="#fig_183">183</a>,

+(fig. <a href="#fig_171">171</a>).&mdash;Work from left to right;

+with the right thumb; insert the needle
+above and bring it out below the run
+line but above the working thread;
+tighten the loop thus formed, without
+drawing up the stuff, and continue in
+this manner, setting your stitches closely and regularly, side
+by side.</p>

+and 5 or 6 perpendicular ones;
+so that each stitch reaches halfway
+back to the last.</p>

+it forms a close seam of cross-stitch,
+on the wrong side, and two
+straight rows of back-stitching on
+the right. To work, insert the
+needle as if for an ordinary back-stitch,
+pass it under the stuff,
+sloping it a little towards the second
+outline of the pattern, and
+draw it out almost in front of the
+first stitch. After making a back-stitch, pass the needle up
+again under the stuff and bring it out at the spot where the
+next stitch is to be.</p><p><a name="Page_78" id="Page_78"></a></p>

+
+<p><b>Simple knot stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_177">177</a>).
+This consists of two back-stitches,

+
+<p><b>Twisted knot stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_178">178</a>).
+To work hold the working thread
+down with the thumb close to the

+twist it twice round the needle,
+turn the needle round from left to
+right, following the direction indicated
+by the arrow, pass it through

+<p><b>Post stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_179">179</a>).&mdash;Something
+like knot stitch and much used
+for patterns, composed of small
+flowers and leaves, where it often
+takes the place of raised satin stitch.
+The illustration represents five
+leaves finished, and the sixth in
+process of being worked.</p>

+
+<p>To work, bring the needle up from the back and twist
+the thread round it as many times as the length of the stitch
+requires, hold the left thumb on the species of curl thus
+formed, and passing the needle and thread through it, insert
+it at the end of the leaf where it first came out, and draw
+it out at the right place for the next stitch.</p>
+
+<p><b>Button-hole bars</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_180">180</a>).&mdash;When a pattern is orna<a name="Page_79" id="Page_79"></a>mented
+with open-work bars, begin by tracing the outside
+parallel lines. Then button-hole the whole lower line and
+the upper one, till you come to the place where the first bar
+is to be; then you carry your thread across and bring up
+the needle from below through one of the loops, as, shown
+in the figure; lay three threads in this manner, inserting your
+needle the third time one loop further on. Then cover the
+three threads thickly with button-holing.</p>

+
+<p>Real Venetian point is entirely needle-made; in the embroidered
+imitations of it, the stuff takes the place of the

+fancy stitches, such as are represented in the illustration, or
+with one or other of the damask stitches in figs. <a href="chapter_4.html#fig_146">146</a> to <a href="chapter_4.html#fig_170">170</a>.

+A full description of the latter will be found in the chapters
+on <a href="./chapter_4.html">net embroidery</a>, and <a href="./chapter_13.html">Irish lace</a>. The space to be buttonholed,
+must be well padded, for thereon depends the roundness
+of the embroidery. For this purpose take 6 or 8 threads of
+Coton &agrave; repriser D.M.C No. 25,<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a> and fasten them down on to

+can only be used for embroidering pocket-handkerchiefs
+and other small articles; all larger work has to be done in
+an ordinary frame. Sew a piece of strong stuff into the
+frame, stretch it as tightly and evenly as possible, and cut
+out a square in the middle to the size of the pattern. Then
+tack your work in underneath, straight to the thread, dividing
+it out carefully with pins first, to ensure its being set in

+<p><b>Alphabets for monograms</b> (figs. <a href="#fig_200">200</a> to <a href="#fig_205">205</a>).&mdash;On account
+of the difficulty of devising a good monogram for marking under-linen,
+we subjoin two alphabets, by the aid of which our
+workers will be able to compose their own.</p>
+
+<p>The letters are of a good medium size, which can be magnified
+or reduced according to the worker's own taste.</p>
+
+<p>For any such modifications, we would again draw our
+reader's attention to the directions given in the concluding
+chapter. The three first plates represent large wide letters,
+intended to contain or encompass the more elongated ones,
+represented in the fourth and fifth plates, figs. <a href="#fig_203">203</a> and <a href="#fig_204">204</a>.</p>
+
+<p>The interlacing of the letters requires to be carefully done,
+and our workers should study the following specimens, so
+as to learn the stitches also, which are most suitable for this
+branch of embroidery.</p>

+<p><b>Border in Gobelin stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_210">210</a>).&mdash;Gobelin embroidery
+is merely raised satin stitch, worked directly upon the pattern,
+without any foundation, or padding. The effectiveness of this
+kind of embroidery, which appears so complicated and is
+really so easy, and the many ways in which it can be utilised,
+soon brought it into favour. It can be worked on the article
+itself, or on stripes, laid on afterwards, with a hem-stitch
+bordering. The original of fig. <a href="#fig_210">210</a> was in blue and red; Bleu<a name="Page_96" id="Page_96"></a>
+Indigo 312 for the grounding, Rouge-Turc 321, for the setting
+in stem-stitch. The herringboning along the edges of the
+pattern, top and bottom, is also in red.</p>

+stitch, which are better suited
+to embroideries of the

+<a name="Page_102" id="Page_102"></a>pattern can equally well be worked on gauzes and other transparent
+stuffs, but with Coton &agrave; repriser, instead of Coton &agrave;
+broder D.M.C, for the solid parts. Two shades of Rouge-Grenat,
+one dark and one very light, may be taken instead, or two of
+Jaune-Rouille, or of Violet-Mauve, employing always the lighter

+<p>The border that completes this charming pattern, consists
+of four rows of button holing, worked in four colours. The
+first row in our illustration is worked in pale pink, followed
+by three shades of green, the palest of which is used for the
+second row of stitches.</p>
+
+<p>When these rows are worked upon a satine or cambric foundation,
+it is advisable to begin by making a small drawing, in
+which the height of the stitches and the distance between them
+is accurately marked out, then prick the pattern through and
+pounce it upon the material beneath.</p><p><a name="Page_103" id="Page_103"></a></p>

+to the shortness of the stitches, this pattern is easier to work
+than the foregoing ones. The little flowers are embroidered
+alternately in dark and light red; the setting varies to correspond,
+the light red flower being set in dark red, and vice versa.
+The interior of the leaves is in light green and the setting,

+combinations are useful for ornamenting aprons, table-cloths,
+curtains etc., every description in short of household linen

+which stripes of this kind, have over larger pieces of embroidery
+is that they require neither frame nor pillow, nor wearisome

+<h2><a name="Flat_stitch_and_Gold_embroidery" id="Flat_stitch_and_Gold_embroidery"></a>Flat stitch and Gold embroidery.</h2>
+
+
+<p>The terms, flat stitch and gold embroidery, suggest as a
+rule, needle-work upon rich materials, such as velvet, brocade,
+plush and the like.</p>
+
+<p>Nevertheless, a great deal of beautiful embroidery is to be
+met with, in silk and gold thread upon quite common stuffs;
+Persian and Moorish embroidery for instance, both remarkable
+for their delicacy and minuteness, and executed upon ordinary
+linen, or cotton fabrics.</p>
+
+<p>As a fact, the material is quite a secondary matter; almost
+any will do equally well as a foundation, for the stitches
+described in these pages. Flat stitch, and some of the other
+stitches used in gold embroidery, can be worked with any kind
+of thread, but best of all with the D.M.C cottons.</p>
+
+<p><b>Flat stitch embroidery</b>.&mdash;Decorative designs, and conventional
+flowers, are the most suitable for flat stitch
+embroidery; a faithful representation of natural flowers should
+not be attempted, unless it be so well executed, as to produce
+the effect of a painting and thus possess real artistic merit.</p>
+
+<p><b><a name="Encroaching_flat_stitch" id="Encroaching_flat_stitch"></a>Encroaching flat stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_221">221</a>).&mdash;Small delicate flowers,
+leaves, and arabesques, should in preference, be worked either
+in straight flat stitch (figs. <a href="./chapter_5.html#fig_189">189</a> and <a href="./chapter_5.html#fig_190">190</a>) or in encroaching flat
+stitch. The stitches should all be of equal length, the length
+<a name="Page_106" id="Page_106"></a>to be determined by the quality of the thread; a fine thread
+necessitating short, and a coarse one, long stitches. The
+stitches should run, one into the other, as shown in the illustration.
+They are worked in
+rows, those of the second
+row encroaching on those of
+the first, and fitting into
+one another.</p>

+
+<p>Work your flowers and
+leaves from the point, never
+from the calyx or stalk. If
+they are to be shaded, begin
+by choosing the right shade
+for the outside edge, varying
+the depth according to the
+light in which the object is supposed to be placed. The stitches
+should always follow the direction of the drawing.</p>

+stitches, which we have grouped under one heading, are known
+also, under the name of Renaissance or Arabic stitches. We
+have used the term Oriental, because they are to be met with
+in almost all Oriental needlework and probably derive their
+origin from Asia, whose inhabitants have, at all times, been
+renowned for the beauty of their embroideries.</p>

+<a name="fig_222" id="fig_222"></a><span class="caption smcap">Fig. 222. Oriental stitch.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>These kind of stitches are only suitable for large, bold
+designs. Draw in the vertical threads first; in working with a
+<a name="Page_107" id="Page_107"></a>soft, silky material, to economise thread, and prevent the embroidery
+from becoming too heavy, you can begin your second
+stitch close to where the first ended.</p>

+<a name="fig_223" id="fig_223"></a><span class="caption smcap">Fig. 223. Oriental stitch.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>But if the thread be one that is liable to twist, take it back
+underneath the stuff and begin your next stitch in a line
+with the first, so that all the stitches of the first layer, which
+form the grounding, are carried from the top to the bottom.
+The same directions apply to figs. <a href="#fig_223">223</a>, <a href="#fig_224">224</a> and <a href="#fig_226">226</a>.</p>

+</div>
+
+<p>When you have laid your vertical
+threads, stretch threads
+horizontally across, and fasten
+them down with isolated stitches,
+set six vertical threads apart.
+The position of these fastening
+stitches on the transverse threads
+must alternate in each row, as
+indicated in fig. <a href="#fig_222">222</a>.</p>
+
+<p>For fig. <a href="#fig_223">223</a>, make a similar
+grounding to the one above described,
+laying the horizontal threads a little closer together,
+and making the fastening stitches over two threads.</p>
+
+<p>In fig. <a href="#fig_224">224</a>, the second threads are carried diagonally across
+the foundation-threads, and the fastening stitches are given a
+similar direction.</p>
+
+<p>For these stitches, use either one material only, a fleecy
+thread like Coton &agrave; repriser D.M.C for instance, or else two,
+<a name="Page_108" id="Page_108"></a>such as Coton &agrave; repriser D.M.C for
+the grounding, and a material with a
+strong twist like Cordonnet 6 fils
+D.M.C or Fil &agrave; pointer D.M.C for
+the stem stitch.</p>
+
+<p><b><a name="Plaited_stitch" id="Plaited_stitch"></a>Plaited stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_225">225</a>).&mdash;When
+the vertical stitches are laid, a kind
+of plait is formed in the following
+way. Pass the thread three times,
+alternately under and over three foundation
+threads. To do this very
+accurately, you must take the thread
+back, underneath, to its starting-point;
+and consequently, always make your
+stitch from right to left.</p>

+
+<p>If you have chosen a washing
+material, and D.M.C cottons to work
+with, use one colour of cotton for the
+foundation, and Chin&eacute; d'or D.M.C
+No. 30, for the plaited stitch.</p>
+
+<p><b>Mosaic stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_226">226</a>).&mdash;In old
+embroideries we often find this stitch,
+employed as a substitute for plush or
+other costly stuffs, appliqu&eacute;d on to
+the foundation. It is executed in the
+same manner as the four preceding
+stitches, but can only be done in thick
+twist, such as Cordonnet 6 fils D.M.C
+or Ganse turque D.M.C.</p>

+<a name="fig_226" id="fig_226"></a><span class="caption smcap">Fig. 226. Mosaic stitch.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>Each stitch should be made separately,
+and must pass underneath
+the foundation, so that the threads
+which form the pattern are not flat,
+as they are in the preceding examples,
+but slightly rounded.</p>
+<p><a name="Page_109" id="Page_109"></a></p>
+<p><b>Border in <a name="Persian_stitch" id="Persian_stitch"></a>Persian stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_227">227</a>).&mdash;This stitch, of
+Persian origin, resembles the one represented in fig. <a href="./chapter_5.html#fig_175">175</a>.
+Instead of bringing the needle out, however, as indicated in
+fig. <a href="./chapter_5.html#fig_176">176</a>, take it back as you see in the illustration, to the
+space between the outlines of the drawing, and behind the
+thread that forms the next stitch. Before filling in the pattern,
+outline it with short stem stitches, or a fine cord, laid on,
+and secured with invisible stitches.</p>

+As we have already observed, it is by no means easy to
+arrange the colours in an embroidery of this kind, so as to
+obtain a really artistic effect. Whether the design be a conventional
+one or not, the great point is to put in the lights and
+shadows at the right place. If you want to make a faithful
+copy of a natural flower, take the flower itself, or a coloured
+botanical drawing of it, and if possible, a good black and white
+drawing of the same, match the colours in 6 or 7 shades, by the
+<a name="Page_111" id="Page_111"></a>flower itself, keeping them all rather paler in tone, and take
+the black and white drawing as a guide for the lights and
+shadows. The colours for the leaves and petals, which should
+always be worked from the outside, should be chosen with
+a view to their blending well together. The stamens and
+the centres of the flowers should be left to the last, but the
+veins and ribs of the leaves, should always be put in before
+the grounding.</p>

+
+<p>For embroideries of this kind, suitable materials must be

+quality of the material employed. Specially to be recommended,

+<p><b>Flowers embroidered in

+displays undoubted originality
+and wonderful skill
+and judgment in the choice of
+material and colour. It excels
+particularly, in the representation
+of figures, flowers, and
+animals, but differs from European
+work in this, that instead of using flat stitch and
+making the colours blend together as we do, the Chinese put
+them, side by side, without intermediate tones, or they sometimes
+work the whole pattern in knot stitch. The little knots,
+formed by this stitch are generally set in gold thread.</p>

+
+<p>Often too, instead of combining a number of colours, as
+we do, the Chinese fill in the whole leaf with long stitches and
+upon this foundation, draw the veins in a different stitch and
+colour. Even the flowers, they embroider in the same way, in
+<a name="Page_112" id="Page_112"></a>very fine thread, filling in the whole ground first, with stitches
+set very closely together and marking in the seed vessels afterwards,

+

+a cord, secure it on the right side with invisible stitches, untwisting

+</div>
+
+<p>Every gold embroidery, on whatever material it may be
+executed, requires a stout foundation, which has to be sewn
+into the frame, in doing which, hold the webbing loosely,
+almost in folds, and stretch the stuff very tightly. Sew on a
+stout cord to the edges of the foundation, which are nearest
+the stretchers, setting the stitches, 3 or 4 c/m. apart. Then
+put the frame together and stretch the material laterally to its
+fullest extent, by passing a piece of
+twine, in and out through the cord
+at the edge and over the stretchers.
+Draw up the bracing until the foundation
+is strained evenly and tightly.
+Upon this firm foundation lay the
+stuff which you are going to embroider,
+and hem or herring-bone
+it down, taking care
+to keep it perfectly even
+with the thread of the
+foundation and, if possible,
+more tightly stretched
+to prevent it from
+being wrinkled or puckered
+when you come to take it off the backing. For directions how to
+transfer the pattern to your stuff, and prepare the paste with
+which the embroidery has to be stiffened before it is taken out
+of the frame, see the concluding chapter in the book.</p>
+
+<p><b>The spindle</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_237">237</a>).&mdash;The spindle to wind the gold
+thread upon, should be 20 c/m. long and made of hard wood.
+Cover the round stalk and part of the prongs with a double
+<a name="Page_117" id="Page_117"></a>thread of Coton &agrave; broder D.M.C No. 16, or pale yellow Cordonnet
+D.M.C No. 25, and terminate this covering with a
+loop, to which you fasten the gold thread that you wind
+round the stalk.</p>

+<p><b>The pressers</b> (figs. <a href="#fig_238">238</a> and <a href="#fig_239">239</a>).&mdash;These, so called 'pressers',
+are small rectangular boards with a handle in the middle.
+The convex one, fig. <a href="#fig_238">238</a>, should be 15 c/m. long by 9 broad;

+
+<p>Having cut out your
+pattern in cartridge paper,
+lay it down, on the wrong
+side, upon a board thinly
+spread with embroidery
+paste. Let it get thoroughly
+impregnated with the paste
+and then transfer it carefully
+to its proper place on the stuff; press it closely down with
+the large presser, and with the little convex one rub the stuff
+firmly, from beneath,
+to make
+it adhere closely
+to the pasted
+pattern; small,
+pointed leaves and
+flowers will be
+found to need sewing
+down besides,
+as you will
+observe in fig. <a href="#fig_242">242</a>, where each
+point is secured
+by stitches. The
+embroidery should not be begun until the paste is perfectly
+dry, and the pattern adheres firmly to the stuff.</p>
+
+<p><b>The knife</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_240">240</a>).&mdash;Most gold embroideries require a
+foundation of stout cartridge paper, and, in the case of very
+delicate designs, the paper should further be covered with kid,
+pasted upon it.</p><p><a name="Page_118" id="Page_118"></a></p>

+
+<p>Transfer the design on to the paper or kid, in the

+You can only
+make very
+short incisions
+with this tool,
+which should
+be kept extremely
+sharp
+and held, in
+cutting, with
+the point outwards,
+and the

+towards you,
+as shown in
+the drawing.</p>
+
+<p><b>Tray to
+contain the
+materials</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_241">241</a>).&mdash;Cut out as many divisions in a thin board, or
+sheet of stout cardboard, as you will require materials for
+your embroidery; these include not only gold thread
+of all kinds,
+but likewise
+beads and
+spangles of all
+sorts and sizes
+as well as
+bright and
+dead gold and
+silver purl, or
+bullion, as it
+is also called.
+For the pieces of purl alone, which should be cut ready to
+hand, you should have several divisions, in order that the
+different lengths may be kept separate.</p>

+<p><b>Use of the spindle</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_242">242</a>).&mdash;Gold embroidery thread
+should be wound double upon the spindle. It is laid backwards
+and forwards and secured with two stitches at each
+turn, as described in fig. <a href="#fig_234">234</a>. Small holes where the stitches
+are to come, have first to be pierced in the material with the
+pricker, from the right side, for the needle to pass through.
+In soft stuffs, this is unnecessary, but in brocaded materials,
+and in plush and leather, where every prick shows and would
+often spoil the whole effect, it is indispensable.</p>

+is the easiest kind of gold embroidery; you
+have only to thread the little pieces of purl, cut into the
+required lengths beforehand, like beads on your needle, and
+fasten them down upon the foundation like the beads in bead-work.
+Smooth and crimped gold purl, or silver and gold purl
+used together, look exceedingly well, particularly where the
+pattern requires effects of light and shade to be reproduced.</p>

+<p><b>Embroidery in diamond stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_244">244</a>).&mdash;The diamond
+stitch is a charming novelty in gold embroidery.
+Short lengths of purl, not more than
+1-1/2 m/m. long, are threaded on the
+needle, and the needle is put in and drawn
+out at the same hole. These stitches which
+resemble knot stitches, form so many little
+glittering knots, turned alternately to the
+right and left, and look like seed-diamonds
+in appearance, more especially, when they
+are made in silver purl. The shorter the
+pieces are, and the more closely you set the
+knots together, the handsomer and richer
+the effect will be.</p>

+designs described thus far, are worked in the same way, but
+the stripe now presented to our readers introduces them to
+several kinds of gold thread, and a variety of stitches. The
+small, turned-back petals of the flowers are worked in plain
+gold thread, and outlined with crimped; the rest of the petals
+are worked in darning stitch, with plain gold thread. The
+latticed leaves are edged with picots, worked with bright
+purl. The other parts of the design are all worked with a
+double gold thread, the stalks in dead gold, the leaves in
+crimped. The gold thread is secured by overcasting stitches
+in gold-coloured thread, Jaune d'or 667, but it looks very well
+if you use black or red thread for fastening the crimped gold
+and dark or light green for the leaves and tendrils.</p>

+
+<p><b>Gold embroidery on a foundation of cords</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_248">248</a>).&mdash;In
+the old ecclesiastical embroideries, especially those representing
+the figures of saints, we often find thick whip cords
+used as a foundation, instead of cardboard, for the good reason
+that the stiff cardboard does not give such soft and rounded contours
+as a cord foundation, which will readily take every bend
+and turn that you give to it. In the following illustrations, we
+have adhered strictly to the originals, as far as the manner of
+working the surface is concerned, but have substituted for
+the cord, which in their case has been used for the foundation,
+Cordonnet 6 fils D.M.C No. 1, which is better for
+padding than the grey whip cord, as it can be had in white or
+yellow, according to whether it is intended to serve as a
+foundation to silver or gold work.</p>

+</div>
+
+<p>Lay down as many cords as are necessary to give the design
+the requisite thickness, in many cases up to 8 or 10 m/m. in
+height, taking care to lay them closely and solidly in the centre,
+and graduate them down at the sides and ends. When you
+have finished the foundation, edge it with a thick gold cord,
+such as Cordonnet d'or D.M.C No. 6 and then only begin the
+<a name="Page_124" id="Page_124"></a>actual embroidery, all the directions just given, applying merely
+to the preparatory work.</p>
+
+<p>Only four of the many stitches that are already in use and
+might be devised are described here. For the pattern, represented
+in fig. <a href="#fig_248">248</a>, flattened gold or silver wire is necessary,
+which should be cut into pieces, long enough to be turned in
+at the ends so as to form a little
+loop through which the thread
+that fastens them down is passed.
+Over each length of gold or silver
+wire small lengths of purl are
+laid at regular intervals, close
+enough just to leave room for the
+next stitch, the pieces of one row,
+alternating in position with those
+of the preceding one.</p>
+
+<p><b>Plaited stitch in gold purl
+on a cord foundation</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_249">249</a>).
+&mdash;Distribute the stitches as in

+and covering the purl with short lengths of gold thread of
+the same kind. All these stitches may be worked in gold and

+finished portions on the left hand side, are executed in silver
+and gold purl, whilst the egg-shaped heart of the flower is
+formed of transverse threads, carried over the first padding,
+and secured by a stitch between the two cords. In the subsequent
+row, the catching stitch is set between the cords, over
+which the first gold threads were carried.</p>

+<h2><a name="Tapestry_and_Linen_Embroidery" id="Tapestry_and_Linen_Embroidery"></a>Tapestry and Linen Embroidery.</h2>
+
+
+<p>Tapestry is one of the oldest kinds of needlework and
+one which has always been popular every where.</p>
+
+<p>There are two distinct sorts of canvas in use for tapestry,
+called respectively, 'plain (single thread) canvas', and
+'Penelope (double thread) canvas'. The latter is generally preferred,
+because it is easier to count the stitches upon it, but
+both make an equally good foundation for the embroidery, as
+the following examples will show.</p>
+
+<p>Besides canvas, other fabrics bearing a close resemblance
+to it, are often used, especially Java linen, the close texture of
+which renders grounding unnecessary.</p>
+
+<p>Cloth, velvet or plush can also be overlaid with canvas,
+the threads of which are pulled away after the pattern is
+finished. For work of this kind, we however prefer a material

+out in tens, with a coloured thread, as shown in fig. <a href="#fig_252">252</a>, along
+two sides at least, in the length and breadth. Having ascertained
+the number of stitches both ways, divide them in two, and

+stitch, trace two
+lines, one horizontal,
+the other vertical,
+right across the canvas.
+The point of

+<p><b>Materials suitable for tapestry</b>.&mdash;Hitherto, wool and silk,
+were the materials chiefly used for canvas work; a very thick
+wool for carpets, as being warmer and more durable. Silk is
+too delicate a fibre to resist much wear and tear, and cannot
+therefore be recommended for articles that are intended for
+constant use, and wool, though stronger, is subject to the
+destructive agency of moths; whereas cotton, which is cheaper
+than both, and quite as brilliant, is free from all these disadvantages
+and is extremely easy to clean.</p><p><a name="Page_129" id="Page_129"></a></p>
+
+<p>For most kinds of tapestry we can therefore with perfect

+worked in two lines. In the first, the thread is carried diagonally
+from left to right across a square of threads, and then,
+downwards, underneath the two horizontal threads; in the
+second, the stitches are carried from the right-hand lower
+corner of the square to the upper left-hand corner, so that

+four threads beyond the first stitch. The next stitch is made like
+the first. The rows may be joined together, either by the short
+or the long stitches, but you must follow one rule throughout.
+This stitch is much used in Slavonic countries, for the adornment
+of linen garments, and there we have observed that the
+short stitches are generally made to encounter the long ones. A
+coarse material that covers the ground well, such as, Coton &agrave;

+stitch, by means of which a very good imitation of an Oriental
+<a name="Page_137" id="Page_137"></a>rug can be produced, consists of loops, each secured by a cross
+stitch; the best way to ensure these loops being even and
+regular is to make them over a narrow wooden ruler, or a piece
+of whalebone.</p>
+
+<p>The effect can be varied by cutting the loops, which gives
+the surface the appearance of velvet.</p>

+
+<p>The illustration represents the middle loops only, as cut, for
+the cut and the uncut stitch can both be introduced into the
+same piece of embroidery. For example, the borders in
+figs. <a href="#fig_290">290</a>, and <a href="#fig_291">291</a>, are worked in open or cut plush stitch,
+whilst in the centres, the stitch is left uncut. Two stitches

+making rugs or carpets, are described in the last chapter but
+one in the book.</p><p><a name="Page_138" id="Page_138"></a></p>
+
+<p><b>Chain stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_287">287</a>).&mdash;Generally speaking, this stitch is
+only used for the adornment of under-linen or small articles of
+fancy-work but it can also be employed in copying cross stitch
+patterns. In old collections we often meet with very interesting
+pieces of needlework, which were used for hangings or screens,
+where the figure-subjects, are executed in chain stitch. Patterns
+in many colours, gain immensely
+by being worked
+in this stitch, the
+colours blend together
+better than in any other,
+and even the shape of
+the stitch contributes to
+soften the contrasts of
+colour.</p>
+
+<p>Chain stitch cannot,
+like other stitches, be
+worked to and fro, nor
+can all the stitches of
+one row be finished first,
+as is generally possible
+in cross stitch work, each
+row must be begun separately, and always from the same
+side, and a different needle should be used for each colour,
+as the material has often to be changed.</p>

+</div>
+
+<p>The stitch is worked as follows; after fastening in your
+thread, insert the needle at the same hole it came out of,
+and bring it out two threads lower down. Keep the loop,
+formed by the working thread, under the point of the needle.
+The thread should not be drawn up tightly but left to
+form a rather loose, round loop. For the next stitches, insert
+the needle close to the thread that issues from the last loop.</p>

+<p><b>Linen embroidery.</b>&mdash;The stitches used in linen embroidery
+are very similar to those used in canvas work. The ordinary
+cross stitch, as represented in fig. <a href="#fig_253">253</a>, is the one most
+commonly used, but it is not so effective as the two-sided
+stitches, which in the beautiful old needlework of the 15th,
+16th and 17th centuries, have always excited our wonder and
+admiration.</p>
+<p><a name="Page_141" id="Page_141"></a></p><p><a name="Page_142" id="Page_142"></a></p>
+<p><b>Stuffs suitable for linen embroidery.</b>&mdash;Most embroidery
+of this kind, and more especially the Italian, is done on very
+fine linen. Such fine work however, requires more time and
+patience than people, in these days, are as a rule disposed to
+bestow on work intended merely for pleasure and recreation.
+To meet the requirements of the day, therefore, in addition
+to the finer kinds of linen, a great variety of textures, are
+now manufactured, the threads of which, being thick and
+round, can be easily counted. The cross stitches that are worked
+on Cuba, Ceylon or Batavia linen, are large and coarse, those
+on linen-canvas, Russian linen, twisted tammy, and Rhodes
+linen, small and fine.</p>
+
+<p>Linen fabrics are either white, unbleached or cream-coloured.
+All three are used for embroidery, but the coloured cottons
+show up best on the cream ground; on the white, they look
+hard and crude, and on the unbleached, dull and faded.</p>
+<p><a name="Page_143" id="Page_143"></a></p>
+<p><b>Materials suitable for linen embroidery</b>&mdash;As most linen
+embroidery is executed on articles that are subjected to frequent
+washing, the D.M.C cottons, which are to be had in
+every shade and colour, are the best for the purpose. For
+coarse stuffs, coarse cotton should be used, such as knitting
+cotton, Coton &agrave; tricoter D.M.C Nos. 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14,<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a>
+which will be found a very good substitute for wool; or six-cord
+crochet cotton (Cordonnet 6 fils D.M.C) Nos. 3, 4, 5, 10
+and 15,<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a> which gives quite as full and brilliant a stitch, as
+silk-twist. Finer cottons should be used
+for the finer stuffs, such as embroidery cotton
+(Coton &agrave; broder D.M.C) Nos. 6 to 200,<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a>
+and lace thread (Fil &agrave; dentelle D.M.C) Nos.
+30 to 150.<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a> In many cases, even darning
+cotton (Coton &agrave; repriser D.M.C) can be
+used, as like Algerian silk, it can be
+split or taken double, to suit the stuff.</p>

+<p><b><a name="Plain_cross_stitch" id="Plain_cross_stitch"></a>Plain cross stitch on auxiliary canvas</b>
+(fig. <a href="#fig_292">292</a>).&mdash;Plain cross stitch, commonly
+called marking stitch, has already been described in fig. <a href="#fig_253">253</a>. But it may be well to observe, that when an auxiliary
+material is used, it should be most carefully tacked upon the
+stuff following the thread of the same, and a sufficient margin
+left to allow of the drawing out of the canvas threads, when
+the work is finished.</p>

+southern districts of E. Europe, especially
+the Montenegrins, have a great partiality
+for this stitch, which has been rarely
+noticed, hitherto, in books on needlework.
+The right side shows cross
+stitches with a double
+thread underneath, and
+divided by vertical stitches;
+the wrong side, regular
+cross stitches, also divided
+by vertical stitches. Coarse
+cotton should be used for
+this stitch; it produces a
+richer effect and not only
+covers the stuff better, but
+also the underneath stitch
+which in the Slavonic
+work, is entirely hidden
+by the cross stitches.</p>

+stitch has the advantage of being, not only very effective, but
+also very quickly executed. It is worked in two rows, forwards
+and backwards. All cross stitch patterns can be worked
+in Spanish stitch. The gaps, which are occasioned by the long
+stitches, have to be filled in with short ones. In itself, the
+stitch consists of slanting stitches, three threads a part, alike
+on both sides, and advances three threads at a time, as shown
+in figs. <a href="#fig_308">308</a> and <a href="#fig_309">309</a>.</p>

+<p><b>Two-sided line stitch</b> (figs. <a href="#fig_310">310</a> and <a href="#fig_311">311</a>).&mdash;Square stitch,
+Holbein stitch, line, or stroke stitch, as it is sometimes called,
+and setting stitch, are all worked on one principle. Though
+all these two-sided stitches are related to each other, and by
+no means difficult of execution, those new to the work will
+find a little practice necessary, to make the stitches follow in
+their proper order. Fig. <a href="#fig_310">310</a> explains how the needle has to
+pass, alternately, step by step, over and under the threads of
+<a name="Page_150" id="Page_150"></a>the stuff, and fig. <a href="#fig_311">311</a>, how the threads, left blank the first
+time, are covered on the way back. The great difficulty is how
+to place your first row of stitches so as to
+ensure an unbroken course back. It is as
+well before setting out, to ascertain
+clearly the most direct course back, so
+that you may not come to a stand-still,
+or be obliged to make unnecessary
+stitches on the wrong side. If you have
+to pass obliquely across the stuff, as in
+patterns figs. <a href="#fig_326">326</a>, <a href="#fig_327">327</a>, <a href="#fig_328">328</a>, <a href="#fig_329">329</a>, <a href="#fig_331">331</a> and
+<a href="#fig_333">333</a>, proceed in the same way as though
+you were covering the straight threads
+of a fabric.</p>

+we often find handsome, coloured
+patterns, joined together by a piece of lace or some quite different
+kind of work. The insertion represented in fig. <a href="#fig_317">317</a>, is a
+very good substitute for either. Fig. <a href="#fig_312">312</a> explains the first stitch
+and the course of the second, from left to right, under 3 vertical
+and 3 horizontal threads; the 3rd stitch to the left, over
+6 vertical threads, and the beginning of the 4th stitch.
+Fig. <a href="#fig_313">313</a> shows the 4th stitch completed, and the direc<a name="Page_151" id="Page_151"></a>tion

+the 11th and last stitch. Fig. <a href="#fig_317">317</a> represents a whole series
+of stitches, and fig. <a href="#fig_318">318</a>, the back of the work, which though

+<p>In making the little

+squares, the mode
+we recommended for working
+stroke stitch should be
+adopted, that is, beginning,
+by bringing the needle out in the middle, making 7
+stitches, and at the eighth, carrying the needle back under
+the first, to the spot whence you started. The stitches will
+then be alike on both sides.</p>

+<p><b>Wallachian border</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_333">333</a>).&mdash;A piece of Wallachian
+needlework, executed on rough linen, and uncommon, both in

+In place of the somewhat violent colours, which indicate
+an undeveloped taste, we have substituted softer and more
+refined ones. All the stroke stitches of the middle stripe and
+of the two border stripes, top and bottom, as well as the

+
+<p>The stitches in the

+from left to right,
+in the two other quarters
+they incline the contrary

+as shown in fig. <a href="#fig_309">309</a>,
+can only be done over 4
+and 2 threads and worked
+one way, not to and fro.</p>
+
+<p>The general effect is
+very much heightened by
+the introduction of one

+worked in gold thread,
+into the straight lines on

+all the light parts of the

+
+<p>The grotesque heads of animals,
+and the flowers and branches which
+break the running pattern, and are a Chinese speciality,
+distinguish this design from the more conventional patterns
+of the present day.</p>
+
+<p>We recommend these two pretty patterns, to our readers
+notice, as likewise adaptable by transposition, to centres, or by
+repetition, to broad stripes. With very little trouble they
+can be converted, into a variety of subjects, such as it is
+often difficult to find ready made, and exactly suited to the
+purpose in hand.</p>
+
+<p><b>Border in Greek stitch with a footing, composed of
+branches</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_336">336</a>).&mdash;This design can be worked in Greek,
+Slavonic, Montenegrin, or plaited Algerian stitch. Our illustration
+worked in Greek stitch, shows how one stitch encroaches
+upon another, and how the thread is carried from one
+isolated stitch, to another.</p>

+
+<p>It will be found to be an improvement if the stitches are so
+made as to follow the direction of the lines. The central subject
+may be repeated two or three times, according to the width of
+border required. The edging is the same throughout. The use
+of the 'Penelope mirror' for repeating patterns is described
+in the concluding chapter of the book.</p><p><a name="Page_167" id="Page_167"></a></p>

+<p><b>Table-cover in Gobelin and stroke stitch</b> (figs. <a href="#fig_337">337</a>, <a href="#fig_338">338</a>,
+<a href="#fig_339">339</a>, <a href="#fig_340">340</a>).&mdash;This tasteful little table-cover provides excellent
+practice in working two sided, square stitch. The square
+represented in fig. <a href="#fig_339">339</a>, forms the middle of the cloth. The
+Gobelin stitches, set very closely, unite and form a star in the
+centre of the principal subject. They begin in the corners, in
+red and continue in green, violet and blue, successively; the
+little branches in stroke stitch, on each side of the Gobelin
+stitches, correspond with them in colour, and the small figures,
+that form the border of the square, may be worked, indiscriminately,
+in any of the colours used for the Gobelin stitches of
+the centre. Four branches run inwards from the corners of the
+square, and four more advance to meet, and pass them, from
+the inner angles of the wide border. Four figures, copied from
+the outside border, fig. <a href="#fig_339">339</a>, and worked in yellow, and the
+little star, fig. <a href="#fig_337">337</a>, besides the little subjects, borrowed from
+the outside border, fig. <a href="#fig_338">338</a>, are strewn lightly over the foundation,
+interspersed between the branches. In fig. <a href="#fig_340">340</a>, nevertheless,
+which represents the whole table-cover, the edge is
+formed of the small subjects contained in the wide border and
+<a name="Page_168" id="Page_168"></a>not of the little stars. The Gobelin stitches in the centre of
+fig. <a href="#fig_337">337</a>, are in dark green, the star stitches and the stroke
+stitches on the outside in red. The wide border consists of
+stars, every other row of which, is worked in red; the intermediate
+rows, successively, in blue, green, and yellow. The
+corners are composed of four detached stars, framed by a row
+of stroke stitches, one red and one blue, alternately. This line
+skirts both sides of the border, and forms the base to the
+quaint figures, that terminate the design and which can be
+worked in all the colours used for the inside.</p>

+<h2><a name="Knitting" id="Knitting"></a>Knitting.</h2>
+<hr style="width: 15%;" />
+
+
+<p>Knitting is one of the earliest forms of needlework, and
+one, which has been carried to the highest perfection. It would
+be difficult to invent new stitches or patterns and, we shall
+therefore confine ourselves to describing the stitches in general
+use, and reproducing those of the old patterns we consider
+the most useful, that our readers may make their own selection.</p>
+
+<p>In former days, knitting served mainly for the manufacture
+of stockings, and even now, in spite of machines, handknit
+stockings, and numberless other useful and ornamental articles,
+such as shawls, counterpanes, cradle-coverings, gloves, laces
+etc. are in great request.</p>
+
+<p>Besides its practical use, knitting is an easy and pleasant
+pastime that can be taken up at odd minutes and even carried
+on, whilst talking, or reading.</p>
+
+<p>Knitting consists of loops, or stitches, as they are generally
+called, formed by means of a thread and two needles.</p>
+
+<p>In round knitting, four, or five needles are necessary for
+the better handling of the work.</p>
+
+<p>Through the loops formed in knitting, being connected

+
+<p><b>Materials</b>.&mdash;Threads with a slight twist, such as Coton &agrave;

+the needles, whether they be of steel, wood, or bone, your
+choice must be determined by the quality of the thread used.</p>
+
+<p>The accompanying table is intended to help inexperienced
+knitters to match their needles and thread, we advisedly say,
+help, as it is impossible exactly to determine the numbers that
+will correspond, because every hand knits differently, and a
+loose knitter has to use finer needles than a tight knitter.</p>
+
+<p>Other materials are enumerated here, besides, what is
+properly speaking, called knitting-cotton, as for caps, lace
+edgings, insertions and so forth, finer kinds of thread and
+threads with a stronger twist which show up the pattern better,
+should be used.</p>

+<p><b><a name="Position_of_the_hands" id="Position_of_the_hands"></a>Position of the hands in knitting</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_341">341</a>.)&mdash;Lay the
+thread over the fifth finger of the right hand, and twist it
+round it, then carry it over the forefinger, which should be
+kept close to the work, the work being held between the third
+finger and the thumb. The left hand remains more or less
+<a name="Page_173" id="Page_173"></a>inactive, having merely, by a slight movement of the forefinger
+to pass the loops, in succession, on to the needle in the right
+hand, which forms the stitches. This position of the hands,
+which is the one usually adopted in England and France, is
+the one represented in our illustration. The Germans on the
+contrary, lay the thread over the left hand, and can move the
+hands much more quickly, in consequence. There are some
+ways of casting on, which can only be done in the German
+fashion.</p>
+
+<p>To prevent the irregularity in stitches, the needles should
+never be allowed to protrude more than 1 or 1&frac12; c/m, from
+the work. All exaggerated movement of the arms, which renders
+knitting a very tiring occupation, should be avoided.</p>

+
+<p><b><a name="Casting_on" id="Casting_on"></a>Casting on.</b>&mdash;Casting, or, setting on, as it is sometimes
+called, is the formation of the first row of stitches which are
+to constitute the foundation of the work.</p>
+
+<p>There are four methods of casting on: (1) crossed casting
+on, done in four different ways; (2) knitting on; (3) slipping
+on, also done in two ways; (4) casting on with picots.</p>
+
+<p>(1) <b>Crossed casting on with a single thread</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_342">342</a>).
+Lay the thread over your fingers as though you were beginning
+a chain of plain stitches, fig. <a href="./chapter_9.html#fig_403">403</a>, leaving a long end, sufficient
+to make the number of stitches required, lying within the palm
+of the hand. Put the needle in from below, into the loop on
+<a name="Page_174" id="Page_174"></a>the thumb, and pass it from right to left under that part of
+the thread which lies between the forefinger and the thumb.
+Then bring the thread through the loop on the thumb, draw
+the thumb out, and lay the loop on the needle. In making the
+next stitches, lay the thread over the thumb, so that the end
+lies outside. Put in the needle under the front thread and
+complete the stitch as before. This method of casting on is
+generally done over two needles, one of them being drawn out
+before the knitting-off is begun, to ensure a loose edge.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 500px;">
+<img src="images/353.jpg"  alt="FIG. 342. CROSSED CASTING ON WITH A SINGLE THREAD." title="" />
+<a name="fig_342" id="fig_342"></a><span class="caption smcap">Fig. 342. Crossed casting on with a single thread.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p><b>Crossed casting on with a threefold thread.</b>&mdash;This method
+is similar to the last, only that the thread is taken threefold
+and is drawn by the needle through the loop, which is formed
+at the bend of the thread. Then you pass the single thread
+over the left hand, and the triple one over the thumb, as shown
+<a name="Page_175" id="Page_175"></a>in fig. <a href="#fig_342">342</a>, and make the same stitches, as above. The threefold
+thread makes a broad chain at the bottom of the loops.</p>
+
+<p><b>Double crossed casting on</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_343">343</a>).&mdash;This can be done
+either with a single or a threefold thread. In our drawing it is
+done with the latter. The first stitch is made as we have already
+described, only that you have to keep the loop on your thumb,
+put the needle into it a second time, lay hold of the thread behind,
+cast on a second stitch, and then only, withdraw your thumb.
+In this manner two loops are made at once, close together.</p>

+</div>
+
+<p><b>Crossed casting on, forming a chain</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_344">344</a>.)&mdash;Begin by
+making one such stitch, as we have described in fig. <a href="#fig_341">341</a>; for
+the second and following stitches, bring the end of the thread
+to the inside of the palm of the hand, so that it lies between
+the thumb and the forefinger.</p>

+</div>
+
+<p>(2) <b>Knitting on stitches</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_345">345</a>).&mdash;Begin with a plain
+crossed stitch; then take the thread and the needle in the left
+hand, a second needle in the right, and catch it into the stitch
+on the left needle, lay the thread under the right needle and
+draw it through in a loop, through the loop on the left needle.
+Then transfer it as a fresh stitch to the left needle; catch the
+needle into this second stitch, and draw the thread through
+it, to form the third, and so on.</p>
+
+<p>This method of casting on is used for articles, that are
+to have a double edge, (see figs. <a href="#fig_355">355</a>, <a href="#fig_356">356</a>), because stitches,
+made in this way, are easier to pick up than the tighter ones;
+<a name="Page_176" id="Page_176"></a>but it should not be used, where it will form the actual edge,
+as the loops are always too open.</p>

+</div>
+
+<p>(3) <b>Casting on with slip loops</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_346">346</a>).&mdash;Begin by casting
+on one loop in the ordinary way, next, lay the thread, as in
+German knitting, over the left hand, twisting it once only
+round the forefinger, then put the needle in, upwards from
+below, under the thread that lies on the outside of the forefinger;
+draw out the finger from the loop, put the loop on the
+needle to the right, take the thread on the forefinger again,
+and so on.</p>

+
+<p><b>Casting on with double slip loops</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_347">347</a>).&mdash;Begin by
+casting on a stitch in the ordinary way, then lay the thread
+over the forefinger, the reverse way, so that it crosses between,
+not outside the hand and the body of the knitter. Pass the
+needle upwards from below, under the inside thread, and slip
+this thread as a loop on to the needle. Continue to cast on,
+inserting the needle under the front and back threads alternately.
+This method is specially suitable for open patterns, where
+you have to increase several times, in succession.</p>

+</div>
+
+<p>(4) <b>Casting on with picots</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_348">348</a>).&mdash;Cast on two stitches
+in the ordinary way and turn the work. Lay the thread
+<a name="Page_178" id="Page_178"></a>over the needle, put the needle into the first stitch, from right
+to left, and slip it on to the right needle, knit off the second
+stitch plain, and draw the slipped one over it.</p>

+</div>
+
+<p>Cast on as many stitches as you want in this manner and
+then pick up the picots thus formed, with an auxiliary needle,
+and knit them off like ordinary stitches.</p>
+
+<p>This method of casting on may be varied thus in the following
+manner: having cast on the stitches as in fig. <a href="#fig_348">348</a>, throw
+the thread over the needle and knit two stitches together.</p>
+
+<p><b><a name="Plain_stitch" id="Plain_stitch"></a>Plain stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_349">349</a>).&mdash;This is the easiest stitch and the
+first which a knitter has to learn. It is executed as follows:
+Put the right-hand needle in, upwards from below, under
+the front part of the first stitch on the left-hand needle, lay
+<a name="Page_179" id="Page_179"></a>the thread from right to left under the needle, draw it through
+the loop, and drop the loop off the left needle.</p>

+<a name="fig_349" id="fig_349"></a><span class="caption smcap">Fig. 349. Plain stitch.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>Plain knitting is employed wherever a perfectly smooth,
+even surface is required. It looks quite differently on the
+wrong side from what it does on the right where it presents
+the appearance of vertical rows of plaiting.</p>
+
+<p><b>Back, or seam-stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_350">350</a>).&mdash;You may intentionally
+knit the wrong side of plain knitting. This is called purling and
+is done, in the following way: lay the thread over the left
+needle, and put the right one, downwards from above, behind
+the thread, into the loop on the left needle, lay the thread
+upwards from below, over the right needle, draw it through
+the loop, and drop the loop off the left needle. This stitch is
+<a name="Page_180" id="Page_180"></a>used in knitting patterns, and for marking horizontal lines in
+smooth surfaces, such as the seam of a stocking, for instance.</p>

+
+<p>In plain stitch, taken from behind, the two threads of the
+loop are crossed, instead of lying side by side, as they do in
+plain knitting.</p>
+
+<p>Back-stitch taken from behind, is only used for certain

+
+<p><b>Overs</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_353">353</a>).&mdash;These form holes in plain knitting, and
+are used for open-work patterns and for increasing.</p>

+</div>
+
+<p>To make an over, lay the thread over the needle, and in
+the next row, knit this loop like any other stitch.</p>
+
+<p>Each over adds one to the existing number of stitches. In
+cases, therefore, where the number is to remain the same, you
+have to make as many intakes as overs. Overs can only be
+used in conjunction with other stitches.</p>
+
+<p><b>Knot stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_354">354</a>).&mdash;This forms a raised spot in plain
+knitting and is executed as follows: knit 1, and leave it on the
+left-hand needle; put the stitch you have made with the right
+needle back on the left, and knit it off. Make 4 or 5 similar
+stitches, all issuing from the same stitch on the left needle, so
+that you have 4 or 5 loops on the right needle; then drop the
+stitch off the left needle, and pull the 4 first loops over the last one.</p>

+</div>
+
+<p><b>Cable or chain stitch</b>.&mdash;Chain stitches are used for strengthening
+and equalizing the edges of articles that are made in
+stripes. They can be made in two ways; either, you knit off all
+the stitches on one needle, turn the work, put the needle into
+the first stitch, as if you were going to knit it from the back,
+and take it off the left needle without knitting it, the thread
+to lie behind the needle; or, you knit off all the stitches on
+one needle, turn the work, and knit off the first stitch.</p><p><a name="Page_181" id="Page_181"></a></p>
+
+<p><b>The names of the stitches</b>.&mdash;Out of the stitches that have
+been already described, other stitches are formed, which, as
+they are frequently alluded to in knitting directions, we shall
+here enumerate, explaining all the terms, usually employed
+in such directions.</p>
+
+<p><b>Over, or increase.</b>&mdash;Explained in fig. <a href="#fig_353">353</a>.
+Throwing the thread once over the right needle.</p>
+
+<p><b>Double over, or two increases.</b>&mdash;Throwing the thread
+twice over the needle.</p>
+
+<p><b>Plain intake.</b>&mdash;Knitting two stitches together plain. This
+is done when the intake is to lie from left to right.</p>
+
+<p><b>Purled intake.</b>&mdash;Purling two stitches together. This is
+done to make the stitches, that are knitted together, visible; or
+in the case of a piece of work composed of stripes, on the
+wrong side, when the intake is to lean to the right, on the
+right side.</p>
+
+<p><b>Plain decrease, taken from behind.</b>&mdash;Knitting off two
+stitches together, plain from behind. This is done when the
+intake is to lie to the left.</p>
+
+<p><b>Purled decrease, taken from behind.</b>&mdash;Purling two
+stitches together, from behind. This is done when, in articles
+composed of stripes, the decrease has to be made on the wrong
+side, and is to lie to the left on the right side.</p>
+
+<p><b>Pulling over.</b>&mdash;Slipping a stitch from the left needle to
+the right without knitting it, knitting the next plain, and
+pulling the slipped stitch over the knitted one. In this manner
+two or three stitches can be pulled over the knitted one.</p>
+
+<p><b>Casting off.</b>&mdash;To prevent the stitches from unravelling
+they are finished off in the following manner. Knit off two
+plain, pull the first over the second and drop it, so that
+only one remains on the needle. Knit the next stitch, and pull
+the one behind over it, and so on. This chain of stitches, must
+neither be too tight, nor too loose, but just as elastic as the
+rest of the work.</p>
+
+<p><b>Materials for stockings.</b>&mdash;Stockings can be made of silk,
+wool or cotton, entirely according to fancy, but for coloured
+stockings, we cannot too highly recommend the D.M.C knit<a name="Page_182" id="Page_182"></a>ting
+cottons, as more durable, in all respects, than either silk
+or wool. They are manufactured in 360 different shades,
+whereas, wool and silk are only to be had in a very limited
+assortment of colours. For hand-knit stockings, Nos. 25, 30,
+35<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a> are the best, for machine-knit, Nos. 40 and 50.</p>
+
+<p><b><a name="Stocking_knitting" id="Stocking_knitting"></a>Stocking knitting.</b>&mdash;A stocking consists of five parts:
+(1) the top, (2) the knee, (3) the leg, (4) the heel, (5) the foot.</p>
+
+<p>(1). The top may be either ribbed, or knitted in an openwork
+stitch of same kind or with a double-toothed edge,
+fig. <a href="#fig_356">356</a>.</p>
+
+<p>(2) and (3). The knee, and the leg down to the heel, are
+generally plain knitted; it is only children's stockings that are
+fancy knitted.</p>
+
+<p>(4). The heel, is worked as straight knitting backwards
+and forwards; by knitting first one row plain and then turning
+back and knitting it purl. It is shaped to the foot by the intakes
+at the top.</p>
+
+<p>(5). The foot is knitted plain, with intakes from the heel
+onwards, to get rid of the superfluous stitches. Then knit a
+plain piece, without a seam-stitch, till you begin to decrease
+for the toe, which can be worked in several different ways.</p>
+
+<p>To ensure the right proportions between the several parts
+of a stocking, the following directions should be attended to.
+An ornamental top must never be taken into account, in measuring
+the length of the leg. When the top part is finished,
+you make the seam, at the beginning of the first needle of the
+round, of one, or two purled stitches, or sometimes, a narrow
+pattern of purled stitches. This marks the middle of the
+stocking. For ordinary-sized stockings, knit plain from the top-band,
+till the knitted piece, forms a square.</p>
+
+<p>For stockings that are to cover the knee, knit half as much
+again, that is one and a half times the width of the stocking.
+This brings you to the calf of the leg. Pull the third stitch
+after the seam, over the second, and knit together the two last
+but one before the seam. There should be 12 rounds between
+each of the first 3 or 4 intakes, and after that 8, until this part
+<a name="Page_183" id="Page_183"></a>is one and a half times the width of the knee in length, and a
+quarter narrower.</p>
+
+<p>For the ankle, knit a plain piece, half the width of the knee
+in length, without intakes.</p>
+
+<p>For the heel, count the stitches on the four needles, exclusive
+of the seam, and put two stitches more than the quarter
+of the whole number on to the needles, to the right and left
+of the seam.</p>
+
+<p>For a heel to fit well, it should be as long as it is wide. In
+order that they should wear better, the heel and the toe are
+often knitted with double thread. Coton &agrave; feutrer D.M.C<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a> is
+made expressly for that purpose, and should be wound round
+the thread of which the whole stocking is made. For the
+instep, the part between the heel and toe, you must go on
+decreasing from the heel, until you have 2 stitches less on
+each needle, than you had at the ankle. Then knit the plain
+part of the foot, which should be as wide as the ankle, after
+which proceed to decrease for the toe, which should be a
+quarter the length of the whole foot. In spite of this careful
+subdivision, it is always well to count the stitches, to ensure
+perfect regularity. The number of stitches cast on, at the
+outset, for the same-sized stockings, must depend upon the size
+of the wool or cotton; we can only give the numbers approximately.
+Our calculation is based on the use of 5 needles; the
+given number has therefore to be cast on four times.</p>

+
+<p>In all heels that are made after this pattern, the intakes

+on the wrong, so that once the heel is finished and the work
+turned, you can go on knitting plain.</p>
+
+<p>When you have finished the stitches of the two heel needles
+up to the outside seams, take up the stitches on the sides of
+the heel with a spare needle and knit them on to the left heel
+needle, then knit the stitches reserved for the instep, take up
+the stitches on the right side of the heel again and knit them
+on to the fourth needle.</p>
+
+<p>In the next round, knit all the stitches of the first needle plain,
+excepting the 4 last;
+knit the first and second
+of these together and

+knitting two plain rounds after each round with an intake.</p>
+
+<p>For the other kind of plain heel also (fig. <a href="#fig_360">360</a>), auxiliary
+stitches are required. Supposing that you have 20 stitches on
+each needle, you must cast on 28 stitches on to each auxiliary
+needle; knit together the 4th and 3rd stitches at the end of
+the 1st and 3rd needles, and the 3rd and 4th of the 2nd and
+3rd needles, so that you may have 4 plain stitches between
+<a name="Page_188" id="Page_188"></a>both intakes. Go on decreasing, knitting 2 plain rounds after
+each round with an intake, until you have 6 stitches left on
+each needle. Then knit together the first and last stitches of
+each needle, one plain round over it, and finish with a chain
+on the wrong side of the heel. Then take up the auxiliary
+stitches and knit the instep.</p>

+<p><b>Italian stocking</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_361">361</a>).&mdash;The heel, sole and toe of a
+stocking always wear out before the instep. The Italians and
+Greeks economise time and material and facilitate the renewal
+of those parts that wear out, by knitting the upper part of the
+foot in two pieces. After knitting the heel in on or other of
+the above ways, work the foot as straight knitting with the
+two upper needles only, until you have the necessary length.
+Then knit the underneath part separately, in the same way.
+You must keep a chain along all edges and a narrow seam
+of one or two stitches. In the sole, which you make after finishing
+the upper part, your intakes must come directly after and
+before the seam. When you have got the same number of
+rounds in each piece, join them together and begin the toe.</p>

+
+<p><b><a name="Toe" id="Toe"></a>Toe</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_362">362</a>).&mdash;To begin as before, with the simplest and

+the stitches equally on to the 4 needles; knit together the 4th
+and 3rd stitches before the end of the 1st and 3rd needles,
+knit the 2 last and 2 first stitches of the 2nd and 4th needles
+plain, and make an intake by
+slipping the 3rd stitch, knitting
+the 4th, and pulling the
+slipped stitch over. Begin by
+knitting 2 plain rounds after
+each of the first 4 rounds with
+an intake, and afterwards only
+one. When you have only 4
+stitches left on each needle,
+collect them on two, and knit
+them together, two and two,

+
+<p>For this purpose, you must clear the loops, by ravelling
+them out top and bottom, and slip them on to knitting needles.
+The loops that are to be connected must lie exactly opposite
+to each other. Enter your threaded needle upwards from below
+through the first disengaged upper loop, and slip it off the
+knitting needle, then enter the needle, downwards from above
+through the first lower loop, and upwards from below through
+the next, and draw out just enough thread to make the new
+loop the same size as the old ones. Then enter the needle,
+downwards from above, through the same upper loop you

+<p><b>Stripes for counterpanes</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_378">378</a>).&mdash;This pattern is to be
+worked in stripes, of two colours; we may here take occasion
+to mention that in choosing two colours, one dark and one
+light, for a piece of work, the dark cotton should always be
+one or two numbers finer than the light, because the dark dyes
+thicken the cotton more than the light ones do. The blue, red
+<a name="Page_197" id="Page_197"></a>and dark brown dyes sink into the cotton more and cause it
+to swell, whereas the lighter dyes do not affect its thickness.</p>

+
+
+<p>Crochet work, so called from the hook, French <i>croche</i> or
+<i>croc</i>, with which it is done, is not only one of the easiest but
+in comparison with the cost and labour, one of the most
+effective kinds of fancy-work. It is also one of the most useful,
+as it can be applied to the domestic requirements of every-day
+life, to wearing apparel, house-linen and upholstery; and we
+are sure that the patterns contained in this chapter, which have
+in addition to their other merits that of novelty, will meet with
+a favorable reception.</p>
+
+<p>Hooks, or needles, as they are generally called, made of
+wood, bone or tortoise-shell are used for all the heavier kinds
+of crochet work in thick wool or cotton, and steel ones for
+the finer kinds. The Tunisian crochet is done with a long
+straight hook, which is made all in one piece. The points
+should be well polished inside and not too sharp, the backs
+slightly curved, and the handles, whether of bone, steel or
+wood, so light as not to tire the hand. Those represented
+here, we consider the best, as regards shape. As it is most
+essential that the needle should be suited to the cotton in size,
+we subjoin a comparative table of the numbers of the D.M.C
+threads and cottons and of the different needles.</p><p><a name="Page_222" id="Page_222"></a></p>

+<p><b>Explanation of the signs *.</b>&mdash;In crochet, as in knitting,
+you frequently have to repeat the same series of stitches. Such
+repetitions will be indicated, by the signs *, **, ***, etc., as
+the case may be.</p>
+
+<p><b>Crochet stitches.</b>&mdash;In point of fact, there is only one,
+because all crochet work consists of loops made by means of
+the hook or needle, and connected together by being drawn
+the one through the other.</p>
+
+<p>Crochet work may however, be divided into two kinds,
+German crochet, and Victoria or Tunisian crochet; the latter
+is known also under the name of <i>tricot-crochet.</i></p>
+
+<p>In German crochet there are eight different kinds of stitches:
+(1) chain stitch, (2) single stitch, (3) plain stitch, (4) treble
+<a name="Page_223" id="Page_223"></a>stitch, (5) knot stitch, (6) bullion stitch, (7) cluster or scale
+stitch, (8) double stitch.</p>
+
+<p>The rows are worked, according to the kind of stitch, either
+to and fro, or all from one end. In the former case, the work
+has to be turned at the end of each row, and the subsequent
+row begun with 1, 2 or 3 chain stitches to prevent the contraction
+of the outside edge.</p>
+
+<p>When the rows are all worked one way, the thread must
+be fastened on afresh each time, which is done by putting the
+needle into the first chain stitch of the preceding row, drawing
+the thread through it so as to form a loop, and making one
+or more chain stitches according to the height required.</p>
+
+<p>At the end of each row, cut the thread and draw the end
+through the last loop; in this manner all crochet work is
+finished off. Some crochet workers make a few extra chain
+stitches with the ends of the thread at the beginning and end of
+each row, or fasten them off with a few stitches on the wrong
+side.</p>
+
+<p>They can also, when the occasion requires, be formed into
+a fringe or tassels as a finish to the work.</p>

+<a name="Page_224" id="Page_224"></a>knitting, tightening the loop just enough to leave an easy passage
+through it for the needle. The end of the thread must be
+held by the thumb and forefinger. The next stitches are made
+by taking up the thread with the needle and drawing it through
+the loop. The throwing of the thread round the needle by a
+jerk of the wrist is called an 'over'.</p>

+finger, and secure it with a
+plain stitch; in this case, you
+should make one plain stitch
+between every two clusters. A loose, fleecy
+thread is generally used for this stitch, and
+for washing articles more especially, we recommend
+Coton &agrave; repriser D.M.C.</p>
+
+<p><b>Plain stitches for a chain</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_414">414</a>).&mdash;Begin

+produce an open stitch,
+which is often used for
+the footing of lace, or
+for an insertion. Make
+a foundation of chain,
+or other stitches, and
+proceed as follows:
+3 chain, miss 2 stitches
+of the row beneath,
+make 1 treble in the
+third stitch, 5 chain,
+1 over, put the needle
+in between the loops
+of the connected trebles
+and finish with
+a treble. Then make a double over, put the needle into the
+next loop of the preceding row, make another over, draw the
+needle through the loops, make another over and join the two
+next loops. This leaves 3 loops on the needle. Make an over,
+put the needle into the third stitch of the row beneath, make
+an over, and bring the needle back to the right side.</p>

+
+<p>These trebles also can be lengthened if necessary, but in

+
+<p>Then, after making a chain stitch, begin the same stitch over
+again, placing it in the second stitch of the lower row.</p>
+
+<p>Cluster stitch may also be finished off by retaining the two

+plain stitch.</p>
+
+<p>(8) <b>Double stitch</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_427">427</a>).&mdash;A rather coarse thread, such

+D.M.C Nos. 3 to 10, or Fil &agrave; pointer D.M.C Nos. 10 to 30<a href="#Footnote_A" class="fnanchor">[A]</a>
+is better for this stitch than a loose fleecy thread which is apt
+to render it indistinct. Take up a loop right and left of a
+stitch of the preceding row, so that counting the loop of the
+last stitch, you have 3 loops on the needle, make an over and
+draw it through the 3 loops. Then take up a loop again by
+the side of the one you made on the left, and which now lies

+Open-work crochet made after
+a tapestry pattern.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>The way in which such patterns are copied in crochet is by
+means of chain stitches and trebles, which, rising one above
+the other in rows, form little squares. For each square marked
+on the pattern, you must count, in the grounding, 1 treble and
+2 chain stitches; in the solid parts, 3 trebles.</p>
+
+<p>The squares formed by the chain stitches should always
+begin and end with a treble.</p>
+
+<p>When, therefore, a solid square comes between empty or
+foundation squares, count 4 trebles for the solid square, because
+the last treble of the last empty square touches the third treble
+of the solid one.</p>
+
+<p>Thus for 2 solid squares, side by side, count 7 trebles, and
+for 3 squares, 10. Embroidery patterns worked in several colours
+can be reproduced in crochet either by trebles and rows worked
+<a name="Page_239" id="Page_239"></a>one way only, cutting off the thread at the end of each row, or
+by plain stitches, worked in rows to and fro.</p>

+<p>When only three colours are used, pass two threads under

+back the place of the one in use. Of course, the threads not in
+use can only can be disposed of in this way when the work has
+a wrong side, otherwise they must be passed underneath the
+stitches. The colours should alternate in the order the pattern
+prescribes; moreover, the last stitch before you take another
+colour cannot be finished with the same thread, you must pass

+plain stitches, you alternately join 2 and 3, or 3 and 4 loops of
+the preceding row together, and replace them by as many
+chain stitches.</p>

+used.</p>
+
+<p>Very pretty laces, fringes, gimp headings and the like can

+
+<p><b>Materials</b>.&mdash;For washing laces, Cordonnet 6 fils D.M.C
+is the best; for furniture fringes, the lower numbers of Coton
+&agrave; tricoter D.M.C, and for producing the appearance of filoselle,
+the lower numbers of Coton &agrave; repriser D.M.C are to be taken.</p>
+
+<p><b>Stitches</b>.&mdash;Begin by a chain stitch, made with an ordinary
+crochet needle, take the needle out of the loop, and insert
+the left prong of the fork upwards from below, holding the
+fork between the thumb and finger of the left hand. The thread
+should always be in front. Then put the thread over the right
+prong and the needle into the loop on the left prong, take up
+the thread, draw it through the loop, put the thread over the
+needle and draw it through the loop that is on the needle,
+twist the loop round the left prong, turn the needle round to
+the right (the thread will now be wound round the right
+prong); put the needle into the loop on the left prong, throw
+<a name="Page_245" id="Page_245"></a>the thread over the needle, draw it through, tighten the loops
+and so on.</p>
+
+<p>These stitches may be doubled, or you may make several
+trebles on each loop, or arrange the plain stitches in different
+ways.</p>
+
+<p><b><a name="Hairpin_insertion" id="Hairpin_insertion"></a>Hairpin insertion</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_451">451</a>).&mdash;Begin by making stripes
+with the fork, covering each
+thread with two plain stitches.
+Then join the stripes together
+by the loops, drawing the left
+loop over the right one and
+the right one over the left.
+When you come to the end
+of the stripes fasten off the
+last loops by a few stitches.
+To strengthen the edges, join
+two loops together by 1 plain,
+2 chain, 1 plain and so on.</p>

+</div>
+
+<p>The heading of the fringe is plain, and heavy tassels are
+fastened into the loops. The tassels are made as follows: take
+a thick skein of the same thread the fringe is made of, pass it
+through the loop, leaving just the length required for the
+tassel, at one end, thread a needle with the same thread and
+twist it round the skein, the right distance from the top to
+form the head of the tassel and then cut the ends even, at the
+bottom. As the loops are of different lengths, the tassels will
+<a name="Page_247" id="Page_247"></a>hang in steps and the fuller and heavier they are, the handsomer
+the fringe will be.</p>
+
+<p>Fig. <a href="#fig_454">454</a> represents another pattern of fringe, the first part
+of which is made with the same fork as the preceding one.
+Instead however of winding the thread round the several
+prongs in succession, you pass it alternately round the two first
+and the fourth, thus making loops of two lengths only. Tassels
+of a length, suited to the purpose the fringe is intended for,
+depend from these loops and may be varied in the second row
+by balls made to issue from the middle, or by long meshes,
+which are made over the whole width of the fork and affixed
+to the loops.</p>

+
+<p>When you have enough leaves, join them together by a

+
+<p>At the end of each row of plain stitches, draw out a sufficiently
+long loop to lay it back over the stitches just made, and to
+work the next row of stitches over this double foundation.
+These loops must be long enough, not to pucker or tighten
+the scallops.</p>
+
+<p>For the inner squares = 4 chain, close the ring.</p>
+
+<p>1st row&mdash;8 chain, 1 treble, 3 chain, 1 double treble, 3
+chain, 1 treble, 3 chain, 1 double treble, 3 chain, 1 treble, 3
+chain, 1 double treble, 3 chain, 1 treble, 3 chain, 1 single
+stitch on the 5th of the 8 chain.</p>
+
+<p>2nd row&mdash;* 1 chain, 5 plain on the first 3 chain, 5 plain
+on the next 3 chain. On these 10 plain stitches, working to and
+fro, 9 rows of plain stitches, decreasing by 1 in each row; after
+the last stitch, come back along the side of the little triangle,
+and make 1 single stitch in every row, 1 plain on the treble of
+the 1st row **; repeat 3 times from * to **.</p>
+
+<p>These small triangles must be worked over 1 single treble
+and between 2 double trebles.</p>
+
+<p>When the 4th triangle is finished, make directly, starting
+from the last stitch at the point, and along the side: 3 plain,
+1 picot, 3 plain, 1 picot, 3 plain; 1 single stitch on the treble;
+all the triangles must be edged, in this same manner on both
+sides; on the stitch that forms the point: 3 plain stitches.</p>
+
+<p>3rd row&mdash;* 17 chain, drop the loop = bring it to the front,
+through the plain stitch that lies between 2 triangles; return<a name="Page_274" id="Page_274"></a>ing,
+make 10 single stitches backwards on the 10 chain.
+You make stitches like this, backwards, in all the trebles that
+follow, that is, the loop is dropped after each stitch, and
+brought forward from the wrong side to the right = 13 chain,
+join to the 5th single, counting upwards from below = 7 single
+on the chain stitches; 13 chain, join to the other trebles; 6
+chain, 1 single on the stitch at the point of the triangle **;
+repeat 3 times from * to **. = The chain stitches for the
+trebles, must be drawn up very tight.</p>
+
+<p>4th row&mdash;1 plain on each of the stitches of the preceding
+row, 3 plain on the corner stitch. On each side there must be
+29 plain stitches, not counting the corner ones.</p>
+
+<p>5th row = 6 chain, miss 2 stitches of the row beneath, *
+1 double treble, 2 chain; repeat 3 times from * = 2 chain,
+1 double treble, 2 chain, 1 double treble on the same stitch
+as the 1st treble = 2 chain, 1 double treble on the same stitch
+as the 1st treble = 2 chain, 1 double treble on the same stitch
+as the two first trebles = 10 times to the next corner: 2 chain,
+1 double treble, 3 double trebles, each of them with 2 chain
+stitches at the corner; repeat the same on each of the 4 sides.</p>
+
+<p>6th row&mdash;1 plain on each of the stitches of the last row, 3
+plain on the corner stitch = cut off the thread. Join the next
+squares together at once by the last corner stitch.</p>
+
+<p>Lower edge&mdash;You begin by making the large scallop at the
+point of the square, and pass the double thread over the 3rd
+treble that comes before the 3 trebles at the point of the square
+and make: 1 plain stitch on each stitch of the square, up to the
+3rd treble on the opposite side; then draw out a long loop
+which you carry back to the beginning. In the 2nd row increase
+by 2 stitches, right and left of the middle stitches, for the
+rounding of the scallop, and decrease by 1 on each side. Make
+10 rows in all, and in each row, decrease by 4 stitches and
+increase by 2. Fasten off after the 10th row.</p>
+
+<p>The two little scallops, right and left of the big one, are
+worked in 5 rows, over 5 trebles and 4 intervals of chain
+stitches, taking off 2 stitches in every row. For the small
+triangle between, worked in 4 rows, you must increase on
+both sides by 2 stitches.</p><p><a name="Page_275" id="Page_275"></a></p>
+
+<p>When all the scallops are finished, edge them with 3 plain
+stitches, 1 picot and 3 plain and work in all the ends of thread
+from the preceding rows at the same time.</p>
+
+<p>For the footing and the small triangles, that fill up the
+spaces between the squares: 22 chain, miss 1, 10 rows of
+plain stitches, worked to and fro, decreasing by 1 in every row.</p>
+
+<p>When the triangle is finished, make on one side, 1 single
+in every row; then, on the 11 remaining chain stitches,
+a second triangle, like the first, which you then join to the
+plain stitches, above the 5th treble; then returning along the
+side of the triangle, add 3 plain, 1 picot, 3 plain, 1 picot, 3
+plain; 1 single on each of the 22 chain stitches.</p>
+
+<p>Edge the next side of the 2nd triangle like the first, join the
+corner stitch to the 5th treble; edge the two inner sides 3
+times with 3 plain stitches and 2 picots.</p>
+
+<p>Then from right to left on the plain stitches: 6 plain, 15
+chain, join them to the middle of the 2 triangles = 1 single
+on each chain, 5 plain on the square; 11 chain, 1 single on
+the 9th of the first 15 chain; 1 single stitch on each of the
+chain stitches; 1 plain on each stitch of the square, to the
+point where the squares join, 8 chain, 1 single on the 6th of
+the 11 chain, 1 single on each of the 8 chain.</p>
+
+<p>On the 2nd side: 7 plain, 5 chain, 1 single on the 6th of the
+11 chain, 1 single on each of the 5 chain, 5 plain, 9 chain, 1
+single on the 9th of the 15 chain, 1 single on each of the 9
+chain, 6 plain on the square; fasten off.</p>
+
+<p>Fasten on, at the 2nd of the 3 corner stitches = 17 chain,
+1 plain on the corner stitch of the triangle; 8 chain, 1 plain
+on the next corner stitch, 17 chain, and so on.</p>
+
+<p>A row of plain stitches, or trebles, completes the lace.</p>

+
+<p>For the first coloured border, which immediately surrounds
+the centre square, take a coloured thread and make 2 chain
+stitches and upon these the common Tunisian stitch, fig. <a href="#fig_444">444</a>.
+Increase to the right in every row by one stitch, to the number
+of 6 = then put the needle into the first stitch on one side of
+the square, turn the thread round and draw it through. Here
+you must be careful to observe, in the first instance, that the
+second part which is now to be joined to the square, should
+<a name="Page_286" id="Page_286"></a>always remain on the left side of the square and secondly, that
+the thread with which you join the two parts together, should
+lie to the left and be drawn through, from the wrong side to
+the right. Having now got 7 Tunisian stitches on the needle,
+<a name="Page_287" id="Page_287"></a>make 18 double rows, and join the last stitch of each row to
+a stitch of the square.</p>
+
+<p>When these rows are finished, you proceed to decrease on
+the right till you have only 2 stitches left; and then again to
+increase as at the beginning of the stripe. At each increase,
+after each double row you must pass the thread through the
+corresponding stitch opposite of the same row. When you have
+again got 7 stitches on the needle, join them as before to the
+square. Work round the 4 sides of the square in this manner
+and when you come to the last decrease, join the stitches to
+those of the first increase, and fasten off. The next stripes
+are to be worked in the same way; they may be made either
+wider or narrower, plain, or ornamented with a cross stitch
+pattern which you work upon them.</p>

+
+<p>For the first stripe, make a foundation chain of 26 stitches;
+then counting back, draw the needle through the 6th and 7th
+chain stitches, drawing up all the three loops together = 2
+chain, then put the needle again through 2 chain stitches, draw
+up the 3 loops together = 2 chain and so on.</p>
+
+<p>Coming back, make the loop of the first stitch and that of
+the second on the chain stitches of the preceding row = begin
+every row with 3 chain, which form picots along the edge of
+the stripe; when the stripes are finished, take a blue thread
+and make 1 plain stitch on each picot and 3 chain.</p>
+
+<p>This blue row is followed by a white one, worked in cluster
+stitch, fig. <a href="#fig_426">426</a>, with 2 chain stitches between every 2 clusters.</p>
+
+<p>Then follows another blue row of one plain stitch on each
+chain stitch of the previous row. The second blue row consists
+entirely of plain stitches worked along the long sides of the
+stripes, which are joined together afterwards, but not along the
+short sides until the counterpane is finished; then the stitches
+should border all the 4 sides. The second stripe, which should
+be of the same width as the first, is worked in Tunisian crochet;
+for the edge make one row of plain stitches in blue, one of
+cluster stitches in white, and then again a row of plain in blue.</p>
+
+<p>Join the stripes together on the wrong side with plain
+stitches, taking up one loop on the right and one on the left,
+alternately.</p>
+
+<p>When you have joined the stripes, make the outer border,

+row; on the corner picots, you must make 3 cluster stitches.</p>
+
+<p>3rd, 4th, 5th rows&mdash;in blue: similar to the first. Increase

+the stitches that are left over, between the scallops.</p>
+
+<p>Corner scallop.&mdash;Fasten on the thread to the left of the
+second of the stitches that were added to make the turn, make

+of chain stitches in the preceding row, and 2 cluster stitches
+and 2 chain over the 5th, 6th and 7th chain stitches; over the
+other chain stitches again: 1 cluster stitch; then 2 chain, miss
+2 trebles, join to the 3rd treble = fasten off.</p>
+
+<p>For the scallops on the right side, divide the stitches between
+the corner scallops into equal portions. Supposing that
+they are divisible by 22, count 9 stitches to the right, fasten on
+the thread at the 9th; * 7 chain, miss 2 trebles of the row beneath,
+1 plain on the 3rd, 1 single stitch on the next = turn the
+work = 2 chain, 1 treble on the 7 chain, repeat 5 times from *
+and finish with 2 chain, 1 single on the 2nd lower treble, 1
+single on the next treble = turn the work = 2 chain and 1
+cluster stitch between each treble of the preceding row, 2
+cluster stitches between the 3rd and 2nd trebles = after the 8th
+stitch: 2 chain, miss 1 treble, 1 single on each of the 2 next
+stitches = repeat 3 times over 2 chain stitches of the previous
+row: 2 chain, 1 cluster stitch = on the 4th, 5th and 6th
+chain stitches: 2 cluster and 2 chain; on the 3 last chain the
+same stitches as on the 3 first = then 1 single over each of the
+next 18 and repeat from *.</p>
+
+<p>The final row consists of open picots, formed of 5 chain
+<a name="Page_290" id="Page_290"></a>stitches and 1 plain, between each cluster stitch; after the last

+in this manner on two sides; the squares along the straight
+edges, on 3 sides, and only those that are intended for the
+centre of the counterpane, on all 4 sides. The separate parts
+are then either sewn or crocheted together on the wrong side.
+The dark squares are ornamented with small stars worked
+in the light colour, the light ones with scallops in the dark

+points formed of chain stitches at regular distances from each
+other. The scallops are worked from left to right; fasten the
+thread on at the point where 4 squares touch, then make a

+
+<p>Two colours, which can be clearly distinguished from each
+other in the engraving, should be chosen from among the
+various combinations suggested; one of them should be very
+light, say, cream or white for the olive shaped figures and
+squares, and the other of some soft shade only darker, for the
+connecting rows and the knotted fringe, described in the chapter
+on <a href="./chapter_11.html">Macram&eacute;</a>.</p>
+
+<p>The olive shaped figures begin with 9 chain stitches, on
+which you make 8 plain stitches and on the 9th: 3 plain for
+the corner.</p>
+
+<p>On the second side of the chain: 8 plain and 3 besides
+on the corner stitch, and so on for 3 rows; in the last row
+there should be 28 stitches.</p>
+
+<p>These 3 rows are to be considered as one only.</p>
+
+<p>2nd row&mdash;3 chain, 1 treble on the plain stitch that follows
+* 1 chain, 1 treble and repeat 11 times from *; 1 chain, 3
+trebles with 1 chain between them on the corner stitch, **
+1 chain, 1 treble, repeat 12 times from **.</p>
+
+<p>On the last stitch at the corner, again 3 trebles with 1
+chain; close the round with 1 single stitch.</p>
+
+<p>3rd row&mdash;1 chain, 1 single on the chain stitch that follows
+the 1st treble of the last row; 3 chain, 1 double treble between
+<a name="Page_295" id="Page_295"></a>the lower trebles, 1 chain and so on, until you have 35 trebles,
+counting the two sets of 3 trebles at the corner.</p>
+
+<p>4th row&mdash;here you can change the colour: 1 plain on each
+of the stitches of the last row; 3 plain at the corners.</p>
+
+<p>5th row&mdash;similar to the 4th.</p>
+
+<p>6th row&mdash;2 plain, 1 cluster of 2 double trebles on the same
+stitch of the 4th row as the 5th stitch of the last row is on;
+miss 1 plain.</p>
+<p><a name="Page_296" id="Page_296"></a></p>
+<p>Continue in this manner along the whole row, taking care
+that the 9th and 22nd cluster come just at the corner.</p>
+
+<p>7th and 8th rows&mdash;these two last rows should be worked
+in the same colour as the inside of the figure.</p>
+
+<p>Be careful always to make the increase at the point; a 9th
+row in the dark colour may further be added, to connect the
+figures, by passing the thread from the wrong side to the right,
+between the 13 last stitches of two of the points of the figures.
+The space between these olive shaped figures is filled by a
+pointed square of chain stitches.</p>
+
+<p>In the 1st and following rows you miss 5 stitches at the
+point where the figures meet, and continue to decrease in this
+manner until the space is filled up. The fringe is made in the
+dark colour, either directly on to the plain crochet, or after a
+few rows of open-work.</p>

+
+<p>The edging of these squares should be begun on the

+= on the wider side you should have 99 stitches, not
+counting the increases at the corner.</p>
+
+<p>To make the same figure, forming a part of the large outside
+scallops, repeat the same rows you have in the inner square up
+to the 7th row, the first half of which you make exactly the

+
+<p>8th row&mdash;make the first half of this row like the 8th row

+
+<p>The setting, towards the top is made exactly in the same
+manner as the wide part of the upper square, that is, as from
+the 3rd scallop of the first semicircle to the 5th scallop of the
+2nd. From this point, the series of stitches changes, so as to
+form a rounded edge: * 7 chain, 1 plain on the 6th scallop;<a name="Page_309" id="Page_309"></a>
+15 chain, 2 triple trebles joined by the last loops to the 7th

+the 7th and 8th plain stitches, 15 plain on the 3rd
+scallop, 8 plain on the next scallop, 15 plain and repeat 6
+times from *.</p>
+
+<p>When the 16th scallop is finished, pass to the point of the
+1st scallop by means of 7 single, then add the 10 chain to
+pass to the 8th scallop above; when that is finished, fasten off,
+and fasten on again to one of the 8 scallops.</p>

+leave out no more stitches between the trebles ***; place the
+8th, 9th and 10th trebles on the 2nd of the increased stitches.
+Repeat on the opposite side from *** to ** and join to the
+4th of the plain stitches = make 17 trebles in all, then one
+plain over each chain, 1 plain on each treble and 1 picot after
+every 3rd plain = after the 4th and up to the 8th picot, leave
+only 2 plain between: 11 picots in all = in conclusion: 3 plain
+more on the 7 chain and repeat the whole 7 times from *.</p>
+
+<p>The little wheel at the top of the square is begun with 10
+chain for the ring = 16 plain on the ring, 4 chain, * 1 treble,
+1 chain = repeat 14 times from *; 16 trebles in all, including
+the chain stitches = then on each treble and each chain stitch:
+1 plain; after 4 plain: 1 picot; connect the wheel first on the
+right.</p>
+
+<p>The 2nd picot is to be fastened to the 9th picot of the large
+scallop = proceed with: 3 times 4 plain with 1 picot = after
+the 3rd plain, fasten the picot to the 3rd picot of the next large
+scallop and complete the small wheel. The left wheel is made
+and inserted in the same manner as the right one. The wheels
+at the bottom of the square require for the foundation ring:
+14 chain, on which you make 21 plain = on these: 4 chain,
+* 1 treble, 1 chain = repeat 19 times from *; 21 trebles in all,
+including the chain stitches = 3 plain, 1 picot, 3 plain, 1 picot,
+3 plain, 1 picot, 3 plain, 4 chain, join to the 8th picot of the
+2nd scallop; 4 chain, finish the picot, 3 plain, 1 picot, 3 plain,

+4 chain, complete the picot, 3 plain, 1 picot and so on, until
+you have 14 picots round the wheel. Repeat the same wheel to
+the left between the 4th and 5th scallop.</p>
+
+<p>The edging of this second kind of square is also slightly
+different; fasten the thread to the 6th picot of the 1st scallop
+before the small wheel, then working from right to left, count:
+* 10 chain, 1 treble on the 2nd empty picot of the small wheel;
+8 chain, 1 triple treble on the 4th picot of the wheel = upwards:

+the 9th and 3rd picots of the 4th and 3rd scallops ****. For
+the preceding treble, you pass first through 4 loops only, then
+make 4 more overs for the other half of the treble, and finish
+the last loops one by one. Repeat from **** to ***. One row
+of plain stitches completes the square.</p>
+
+<p>After having made the square similar to that of the upper
+one, you have merely to add the large wheels at the top.</p>
+
+<p>The setting of chain stitches and trebles is begun at the
+first scallop between 2 wheels = 1 plain on the 6th picot of the
+1st scallop; 14 chain, 2 quintuple trebles, of which the last
+loops only are joined together, on the 9th and 3rd picot of the
+1st and 2nd scallop, = 14 chain, 1 plain on the 6th picot of the

+trebles on the 10th and 2nd picot of the 4th and 5th scallop;
+16 chain, 1 plain on the 6th picot of the 5th scallop; 15 chain
+** 3 septuple trebles on the 10th and 2nd picot of the 5th
+and 6th scallop. Repeat from ** to *; and make 4 figures
+with rounded edges. When all the figures are finished, join
+them together by trebles of a suitable length.</p>
+
+<p>Introduce the thread at the corner stitch on the widest side
+of the 2nd 8 pointed star and make: 1 plain, 6 chain, miss 3
+stitches, 1 plain on the 3 next stitches, 4 chain, miss 2, 1
+plain on the next 3 plain stitches.</p>
+
+<p>Make 11 loops in this manner, each consisting of 4 chain
+and 3 plain, then 2 loops of 3 chain and 2 plain = then miss
+as many stitches of the square at the edge of the collar as were
+left empty in the second square; 2 plain and draw the loop
+each time through the 2 last stitches of the opposite square
+= 1 chain, 1 single on the 2nd chain stitch of the opposite
+side; 1 chain, 3 plain on the edge of the first square, 1 chain,
+1 single, 1 chain, miss 3 stitches, 3 plain, 5 chain, bring the
+loop from the wrong side to the right = on the chain stitches:
+4 plain, 2 chain, miss 3, 3 plain.</p>
+
+<p>From this point onwards, fasten all the bars of chain stitches
+to the loops produced by the same stitches in the 2nd square.
+Thus, the 1st bar consisting of 5 chain, the 2nd will consist of
+7 chain on which make 7 plain, and then add 2 more chain.
+Nowhere must the two first chain stitches be uncovered.</p>
+
+<p>The 3rd bar must consist of 9 chain, 9 plain and 2 chain
+= the 4th of 11 chain, 5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain, 2 chain =
+the 5th of 13 chain, 4 plain, 1 picot, 4 plain, 1 picot, 4 plain,
+2 chain = the 6th of 16 chain, 6 plain, 1 picot, 6 plain, 1

+5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain, 1 picot, 6 plain, 2 chain = the 11th
+and last of 28 chain, 32 plain, 2 chain, fasten off.</p>
+
+<p>As the square with the semicircles in it, has more plain stitches
+in the edge than the one with the eight-pointed star in it, the
+stitches must be divided so that you miss 3 from time to time,
+instead of two. When the 7 top figures are finished, join the 7
+bottom ones to them, each separately, by a row of plain stitches,
+made on the wrong side of the work. Below the first square
+with the semicircles, comes the eight-pointed star, below
+the next eight-pointed star, the square with the semicircles,
+and so on.</p>
+
+<p>A narrow edging forms the outside border, the foundation
+of which is a row of plain stitches running all along the squares.
+At the middle of the square you decrease by 2 stitches, and at
+the point where two squares meet, by 3. When you reach the
+left side and the end of the row, make 3 plain on the corner
+stitch, then: * 5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain, 14 chain, join them
+to the first of the 5 first plain (drop the thread at each scallop
+and bring it forward from the wrong side to the right) = on
+the 14 chain: 5 plain, 1 picot, 11 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain = along
+the square: 5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain, then 14 chain, join them
+to the first plain = over the 14 chain: 5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain,
+14 chain, join them in turning back between the 5th and 6th
+of the 10 plain of the 1st scallop; 5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain, 1
+picot, 5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain; on the half-finished scallop: 5
+plain, 1 picot, 5 plain ** = on the plain stitches of the edge:
+4 plain, 1 picot, 4 plain, 12 chain, come back, join to the 1st
+of the 4 plain = on the 12 chain: 4 plain, 1 picot, 4 plain, 1
+picot, 4 plain, 1 picot, 4 plain *** = repeat on the same
+figure once from * to *** and once from * to **.</p>
+
+<p>This makes 77 stitches, the number there ought to be on
+the wide side of the straight-edged figures.</p>
+
+<p>The scallops vary a little on the rounded sides. There,
+you should have 110 stitches, counting from the corner to the
+treble that marks the middle at the bottom. The single scallops,
+between the triple scallops of the border, are also all made
+over 8 stitches; the first triple scallop is made over 20 stitches,
+the 2nd, 3rd and 4th triple scallop over 16 stitches.</p><p><a name="Page_314" id="Page_314"></a></p>
+
+<p>Make no single scallop after the 4th triple one; which is
+immediately succeeded by the 5th triple scallop, over 16 stitches.</p>
+
+<p>Altogether, round each star, there are 9 triple and 8 single
+scallops. After the 8th single one, make 3 plain stitches on the
+2 chain stitches of the connecting bar.</p>
+
+<p>On the 32 plain stitches of the last bar: 8 plain, 1 picot,
+4 plain, 12 chain, bring them back and join to the 5th of the
+8 plain = on the 12 chain: 5 plain, 2 chain, draw the loop
+through the picot in the middle of the last single scallop, 2
+chain, close the picot, 8 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain = in the bar:
+4 plain, 1 picot, 4 plain, 12 chain, bring them back and fasten
+them to the 1st plain = 5 plain, 1 picot, 4 plain, 12 chain, join

+
+<p>The lozenges that fill the empty spaces between the large

+of the lozenge you make, 8 chain, join them to the middle
+picot of the 1st triple scallop; coming back over the 8 chain:
+5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain and finish the scallop. The next scallop,
+at the point of the lozenge, is fastened by a picot of 6
+chain, to the middle picot of the 6th scallop underneath the
+connecting bar. Repeat the same on the 2nd side and make 6
+lozenges in all.</p>
+
+<p>The lace that finishes off the collar at the neck must be
+made to stand up, and is begun by a row of trebles on the

+
+<p>From the corner as far as the 2nd treble of the 4th scallop,

+<h2><a name="Preface" id="Preface"></a>Preface.</h2>
+
+
+<p>The absolute want of any comprehensive book on
+needlework&mdash;such an one as contains both verbal and
+pictorial descriptions of everything included under the
+name of needlework&mdash;has led me to put into the serviceable
+form of an Encyclopedia, all the knowledge and
+experience, which years of unceasing study and practice
+have enabled me to accumulate on the subject, with the
+hope that diligent female workers of all ages, may be able,
+by its means to instruct themselves in every branch of
+plain and fancy needlework.</p>
+
+<p>All the patterns given, even the most insignificant,
+were worked afresh for the purpose, and thus, not merely
+faithful representations, but also lucid and intelligible
+explanations of the same, are secured.</p>
+
+<p>In order that my readers may have something besides
+the dull theory, the work is enlivened by a number of
+useful patterns, some new, some derived from the artistic
+productions of such countries and epochs as have
+become famous by special excellence in the domain of
+needlework.</p>
+
+<p>Though, at first sight, the reproduction of many of
+these patterns may seem to present insuperable difficulties,
+<a name="Page_0" id="Page_0"></a>they will, after a careful study of the text, and exact attention
+to the directions given, prove easy to carry out.</p>
+
+<p>Many of these interesting designs are drawn from
+private collections, whose owners, with great kindness,
+placed their treasures at my disposal, to copy and borrow
+from at discretion, for which I desire to take the present
+opportunity, of tendering them my warmest thanks.</p>
+
+<p>The choice of colours and material&mdash;a difficult matter
+to many&mdash;my readers will find rendered comparatively
+easy to them by the notes affixed to the illustrations; and
+I may point out, that most of the patterns were worked
+with D.M.C cottons, which enjoy the well-earned reputation
+of being, the very best of their kind, in the market
+of the world.</p>
+
+<p>Experience has convinced me that, in many instances,
+these cottons may with advantage take the place of wool,
+linen thread, and even silk.</p>
+
+<p>If this work meet with indulgent judges, and prove
+really useful, I shall find ample reward in that fact for
+the trouble and difficulties that have unavoidably attended
+its completion.</p>
