--_Couvrette in Applique Embroidery_.
Materials: Net, fine muslin; Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s embroidery

The pattern must be traced on the muslin, which should be tacked on the
net. The outline of the design must be traced with very small stitches,
and worked in overcast stitches, as are also the veinings; the dots are
worked in raised satin stitch; the border is embroidered with satin
stitch flowers and scallop button-hole stitch. To work applique on net,
see No. 117 of _Embroidery Instructions_.
