ELEMENTARY INSTRUCTIONS IN EMBROIDERY.
Undoubtedly the most artistic style of needlework is that termed Embroidery; not the canvas embroidery of which I treated in Part II. of this work but the yet higher kind of needlework-painting, which aims at producing really pictorial effect, without the mechanical assistance which canvass gives in counting stitches and determining shades.
In embroidery much is left to the eye, and still more to the taste. A few words, therefore, on the subject of selecting colors and harmonizing tints, as well as on the mere stitches employed, will probably be acceptable.
