EMBROIDERY.—DRESS COLLAR.
(See Colored Plate in front of Book.)
Materials.—Embroidery cotton, No. 100.
Trace the pattern upon the muslin with a quill pen and blue mixed with gum-water; make the leaves, stems, and flowers in raised satin-stitch; the circles in buttonhole-stitch, either making them close or open, as may be preferred; if close, a raised spot must be worked in the centre of each. Work the edge in buttonhole-stitch.
