Beeton, Mrs. Isabella Mary, 1836-1865

"Beeton's Book of Needlework"

Draw the threads across the circle
marked by an outline; in the centre they are wound round, always taking
one thread _on the needle_ and leaving the next thread _under the
needle_, as can be seen in 122 on the half-finished pattern. The
material underneath the wheel is only cut away when the rest of the
pattern has been embroidered.

[Illustration: 105.--Star in Point de Reprise.]
ILLUSTRATIONS 105 & 106 (_Patterns in Back, Satin, and Ladder
Stitches_).--The small star in the centre of No. 105 is worked in _point
de reprise_.
[Illustration: 106.--Star.]

[Illustration: 107.--Flower in Satin Stitch.]
ILLUSTRATION 107 (_Flower in Satin Stitch_).--The fine veinings are
worked with fine black silk in _point russe_, which renders the effect
of the flower very beautiful.

[Illustration: 108--Rose in Satin Stitch.]
[Illustration: 109.--Petal for Rose.]
ILLUSTRATIONS 108 & 109 (_Rose in Satin Stitch_).--No. 109 shows one
petal larger than full size. The outer circle only is prepared with
chain stitches underneath, so as to appear raised; the inner circles are
worked flat.
