360.--_Sampler (Frontispiece_).
Materials: cambric muslin or fine linen; Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s
Embroidery Cotton Nos. 16, 18, and 20; red cotton and black silk.
This illustration shows a sampler which will be found useful for
learning to embroider letters for marking linen. The material used is
cambric muslin or fine linen. Work the embroidery with white embroidery
cotton, red cotton, or black silk. The thick parts of the letters are
worked in slanting satin stitch and back stitch; the outlines of the
stitched parts are worked in overcast, as well as the fine outlines of
the letters and all the fine outlines of the patterns. The monograms and
crowns are worked in a similar manner. Work button-hole stitch round the
outside of the sampler. The letters and crowns may, of course, be
employed for other purposes.
