1859.
Distinction
in
Embroidered
Work.
Although
these
two
different
sorts
of
work
are
really
equally
entitled
to
the
designation
of
embroidery,
yet
for
the
sake
of
making
our
hints
as
intelligible
as
possible,
we
will
adopt
the
popular
terms,
and
confine
our
present
remarks
to
that
sort
of
embroidery
which
is
not
executed
by
the
stitch.

TO
VIRTUE--A
STRANGER
TO
VICE.]
1860.
Materials.
Every
sort
of
embroidery
material
may
be
used
for
embroidering
upon.
The
most
common
are
muslin,
cambric,
velvet,
satin,
cloth,
and
leather.
1861.
Application.
The
simplest
style
of
embroidery
is
that
termed
Application,--that
is,
where
the
pattern
is
in
one
material,
laid
on
another
which
forms
the
ground.
In
this
way
muslin
is
worked
on
net,
velvet
is
laid
on
cloth,
or
on
another
velvet,
and
cretonne
designs
cut
out
and
laid
on
another
material,
the
edges
being
either
sewed
over,
or
ornamented
with
fancy
cord,
braid,
gold
thread,
or
any
other
appropriate
material.
1862.
Braiding.
Another
very
easy
style
of
ornamentation
is
that
known
as
braiding.
Children's
dresses
are
worked
with
narrow
silk
or
worsted
braid,
the
latter
being
also
used
for
ladies'
aprons,
flounces,
&c.
Gold
and
silver
braid
enter
largely
into
various
sorts
of
decorated
needlework,
and
the
Victoria
braid,
of
cotton,
which
has
something
of
the
appearance
of
satin
stitch,
is
generally
known.
1863.
Stitches
in
Braiding.
There
is
considerable
art
required
to
achieve
putting
on
the
Victoria
braid
evenly
and
firmly.
The
stitches
should
be
taken
across
the
braid.
This
makes
it
lie
flat.
