Robert Kemp Philp
660
1903.
Basket-work
Stitch
and
Diaper
Stitch.
These
are
done
with
gold,
silver,
or
silk
cords,
stitched
on
the
material
in
patterns,
with
silk
of
another,
or
of
the
same
colour.
The
cords
are
just
passed
through
the
back
of
the
work
to
its
surface;
either
one,
two,
or
three
at
a
time
are
held
in
place
by
the
left
hand,
the
over-stitching
being
done
by
the
right
hand.
1904.
Canvas
for
Cross-stitch
Work.
The
Penelope
is
now
universally
used
where
the
ground
is
filled
in.
Formerly
it
resembled
the
silk
canvas
now
used
where
no
grounding
is
required,
but
by
accident
a
manufacturer
observing
some
cross-stitch
work
unpicked,
took
the
hint,
and
the
result
was
the
"Penelope
canvas,"
of
which
there
are
different
degrees
of
fineness,
determined
by
the
number
of
double-crossed
threads
that
may
fill
the
space
of
one
inch.
1905.
Elephant
Penelope
Canvas.
Elephant
Penelope
Canvas
is
extremely
coarse--fitted
for
working
rugs
and
eight
or
twelve
thread
wools.
1906.
Silk
Canvas.
Silk
canvas
requires
no
grounding;
it
is
made
of
a
cotton
thread
overcast
with
silk,
and
resembles
coarse
even-threaded
cheese
cloths,
but
is
silky.
1907.
Mode
of
doing
Canvas
Work.
This
is
always
done
by
the
thread,--particular
care
should
in
all
cases
be
taken
that
the
size
of
the
various
materials
is
properly
proportioned.
Placing
the
canvas
in
a
frame,
technically
termed
dressing
the
frame,
is
an
operation
which
requires
considerable
care.
The
frame
itself,
especially
for
a
large
piece
of
work,
should
be
substantially
made;
otherwise
the
stress
upon
it
will
be
apt
to
warp
it,
and
drag
the
canvas.
If
this
occurs
to
any
extent,
the
injury
can
never
be
repaired.
