1898.
Stitches.
Various
stitches
are
used
in
embroidery
with
crewels
and
silk.
1899.
Stem
Stitch.
Stem
stitch,
also
Crewel
stitch,
is
that
used
for
stems
and
for
ordinary
filling-in
of
flowers
and
arabesques.
Instead
of
working
from
right
to
left,
the
stitches
are
smoother
if
worked
from
left
to
right.
In
stems
a
long
stitch
is
made,
and
then
a
second
halfway
the
length
of
the
first,
and
half-way
beyond
it,
till
a
stem
is
formed;
and
to
complete
it
work
from
right
to
left,
placing
the
needle
under
a
stitch
of
the
stem,
not
of
the
material,
and
so
work
back
upon
the
top
of
the
previous
stitches.
In
the
stem
first
worked
only
the
tiniest
piece
of
the
material
is
taken
up
on
the
needle,
so
that
the
wool
or
silk
is
all
on
the
surface.
1900.
Stem
Stitch
in
Flowers,
&c.
In
flowers
and
arabesques
the
stem-stitch
is
worked
straight,
but
each
stitch
differing
in
length
from
the
other,
so
as
to
make
the
wool
smooth.
Commence
the
work
at
the
lowest
part
of
the
petals,
and
work
upwards
to
the
edge.
1901.
Split
Stem
Stitch.
Having
worked
one
stitch,
in
making
the
second
split
the
first
stitch
in
the
centre
with
the
needle.
In
the
stitch,
the
thread
is
continued
under
the
material.
1902.
Couching.
Couching
is
a
laying
down
on
the
outline
of
the
design,
a
thick
strand
of
filoselle,
or
cord
or
wool
or
silk
of
any
kind,
and
then
over-stitching
it
down
with
a
fine
silk
of
the
same,
or
a
contrasting
colour.
