8 for pillow-cases, No. 16 for lace edgings.
These corner borders are suitable for pillow-cases or small couvrettes;
the stitches worked on these patterns are linen stitch, darning stitch,
point de Bruxelles, and wheels. The edge is formed by button-hole
stitches. The netting is cut away after these are worked.

526.--_Strip of Insertion in Guipure d'Art._
Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Mecklenburg thread No. 8.
This strip of insertion is 8 stitches wide, and is worked in zigzag
lines of point de feston, with a border of point d'esprit and point de
toile; a four-point star occupies the centre of the triangle left by the
zigzag line. This pattern is so easy to work that it hardly needs
description, the only part requiring care being the squares of point de
feston; these are begun in the centre, and the thread should be drawn
rather tightly so as to form a good square.
