Observe only that on border
118 the outer row of scallops is worked first, then the button-hole
stitch row, and the rest afterwards. The spots are edged all round in
knotted stitch. The wheels in the centre of the eyelets of No. 119 are
worked with very fine cotton in loose button-hole stitch; they are wound
round with the cotton in a second row.

[Illustration: 120.--Insertion.]
ILLUSTRATIONS 120 TO 122.--Three strips of insertion, which are worked
nearly like the ladder stitch. For No. 120, in tracing the outlines,
make two small knots at short distances by winding the cotton four times
round the needle, as can be seen in illustration; the windings are held
down with the thumb of the left hand, draw the needle through, and a
knot is formed. The outlines are worked in button-hole stitch only when
all the knots have been made, and then the material is cut away
underneath.
Illustration 121 is a variety of the slanting ladder stitch.
Illustration 122.--The cross threads are worked in two rows in the
common herring-bone stitch, as can be seen by the black lines on the
illustration.
