CHISWICK PRESS:—C. WHITTINGHAM, TOOKS COURT, CHANCERY LANE.
Transcriber's Note
Minor typographic errors in punctuation have been corrected without note.
Hyphenation has been made consistent in the main body of the text without note. Please note that the author uses the term 'high light' rather than the more usual 'highlight'.
The following amendments have been made:
Page [15]—grounds amended to ground—"As ground for embroidery it has an excellent effect."
Page [53]—the page reference to Burden stitch has been amended from 49 to 50.
The first 10 captioned illustrations (starting with "No. 1.—Stem Stitch") have been made consistent with the later illustrations, by the removal of the word Illustration and a comma at the beginning of each of those captions.
The two illustrations on page [81] (Plates 11 and 12) were printed in reverse order in the original. They have been swapped over so they are now in the correct numeric order in this e-text.
