ILLUSTRATIONS 102 & 103 (_Blossom in Satin Stitch_).--The raised centre
of this flower is formed by a bead, over which the embroidery is worked.
When the leaves have been worked one after the other, place a bead in
the centre, left free in such a manner that one hole lies on the
material, and work over the bead by inserting the needle into its upper
hole, then underneath the material, drawing it out above the material
close to the bead, and so on (see 103).
