Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s embroidery cotton Nos. 24 and
30; cambric muslin; Brussels net; flesh-coloured silk; sewing silk of
the same shade; 1 skein of a darker shade; blue silk; brown silk; gold
thread.
This style of work is most effective for couvrettes or bed covers. It is
worked in cambric muslin and silk, over Brussels net.
The arabesque patterns are worked in cambric muslin, the outlines are
embroidered in overcast, and the material is cut away all round. The
medallions are made of blue silk; the figures upon them are cut out of
flesh-coloured silk, and are gummed first upon tissue-paper, then upon
the blue silk; the figures are further fastened upon the medallions in
overcast stitch with fine silk of a rather darker shade of flesh-colour.
