1867.
Fancy
Stitches.
There
are
many
fancy
stitches
introduced
into
muslin
work,
but
these
require
to
be
practically
taught.
1868.
Frame
for
Embroidery.
The
kind
of
frame
on
which
muslin
is
most
easily
worked,
consists
of
two
hoops
of
wood,
about
eight
inches
in
diameter.
One
is
rather
smaller
than
the
other.
On
it
the
muslin
is
stretched,
and
the
larger
one
being
slipped
over
it,
and
fitting
tightly,
keeps
the
muslin
in
its
place.
1869.
Embroidery
on
Satin,
&c.
Satin
and
velvet
are
embroidered
in
coloured
silks,
gold
and
silver
bullion,
pearls,
&c.
A
very
fashionable
style
is
the
work
with
ombre
or
shaded
silks.
1870.
Netting
Silk
in
Embroidery.
The
most
delicate
kinds
of
embroidery
are
worked
with
fine
netting
silk,
one
strand
of
which
is
drawn
out.
This
makes
the
silk
appear
softer
and
richer.
1871.
Shading
in
Silks.
It
requires
considerable
care
to
work
well
with
ombre
silks,
to
avoid
incorrect
shading.
Nature
should
be
followed
as
closely
as
possible.
Not
only
must
the
form
be
carefully
preserved,
but
the
lights
and
shades
must
be
disposed
in
an
artistic
manner.
For
instance:
the
point
of
a
leaf
is
never
the
darkest
part,
nor
should
the
lower
leaves
and
flowers
of
a
group
of
the
same
kind
be
light.
1872.
Materials
used
in
Embroidery
and
Canvas
Work.
The
materials
for
canvas
work
and
embroidery
may
be
classed
under
the
names
of
wool,
silk,
chenille,
and
braid;
beads,
straw,
and
a
variety
of
other
fancy
materials,
are
also
brought
into
use.
A
knowledge
of
the
proper
mode
of
using
them,
and
the
varieties
of
each
which
are
made,
is
one
of
the
most
useful
things
it
is
possible
for
the
amateur
needle-woman
to
become
acquainted
with.
We
will,
therefore,
take
them
in
their
order.
