Some Embroidery Stitches.
No. 1.
This design in squares is suitable for working either in white or colours. Many useful purposes present themselves for making the design into trimmings for dresses, hats, etc., as well as for the alternate squares in a checked cushion cover. “Tenax” is a lovely silk thread that would be suitable for these stitches.
No. 8.
No. 4.
No. 5.
No. 2.
Here each little diamond is worked in simple outline stitch, and each square outlined with backstitch.
No. 3.
This design is very suitable for hat bands and is worked in two colours. The stitch used is stem stitch, worked from left to right, bringing the thread over two of the double threads which form a square, then bringing it out in the centre of the two squares, that is, half-way back on the preceding stitch, and carrying it down over next two squares and so on. Work the crossing lines first, then fill in the spaces, all in same stitch.
