[Illustration: 149.--Corner for Handkerchief in Point Russe.]
Point Russe stitch is made by a succession of back stitches. These
stitches carefully follow every line of the design, and are worked in
black China sewing-silk or filoselle. The pattern should be repeated at
each corner of the handkerchief.

150 _to_ 152.--_Borders and Insertions_.--_White Embroidery_.
Materials: Lawn; Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s embroidery cotton No.
30, and Mecklenburg thread No. 50; fine black sewing-silk.
[Illustration: 150.--Embroidered Border.]
For the border No. 150, trace first the outlines of the scallop, then
draw the threads which are to form the wheel in each scallop (take for
this fine Mecklenburg thread, for the rest embroidery cotton), fasten
them at the places where they cross each other, and work at these places
small and large spots in satin stitch. Then work the scallops in
button-hole stitch; edge each larger spot with button-hole stitch all
round, and make a row of button-hole stitches for the upper edge of the
border, and above this a row of herring-bone stitches.
