The things we do!

Those ladies who possess a sewing-machine will find no difficulty in
accomplishing this. Several thicknesses of paper can be perforated at
the same time, if required, by any ordinary machine. To transfer the
traced and perforated design to the fabric to be embroidered, it is only
necessary to rub a small quantity of powder blue through the holes.]

131.--_Insertion in Embroidery_.
Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s embroidery cotton No. 16.
This insertion is worked in raised satin stitch and button-hole stitch.
The outlines must first be traced and the space filled up with chain
stitches. To work a leaf, begin at the point, working from right to
left, making short stitches, and always inserting the needle close above
the outline and drawing it out below. The holes left for the ribbon to
pass through are worked in plain button-hole stitch, the dots are worked
in raised satin stitch.
