Walter Evans and Co.'s embroidery
cotton No. 50.
[Illustration: 140.--Handkerchief in Embroidery.]
Three rows of hem-stitching ornament this handkerchief; the pattern
forms an insertion within the outer rows, the flowers are worked in
raised satin stitch, with eyelet-hole centres (see No. 87 of _Embroidery
Instructions_); the tendrils are worked in overcast stitch; three rows
of raised dots, in groups of four, are worked on the inner side of the
last row of hem-stitching. This pattern looks very handsome on a
broad-hemmed handkerchief.
