137.--Embroidery Pattern for Collars, Cuffs, &c.
Materials: Linen; Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s cotton perfectionné No. 40.
This pretty star should be worked in fine overcast stitch (see No. [68] in Embroidery Instructions). The centre is worked in raised satin stitch leaves round a circle of button-hole stitch, in the middle of which a wheel is worked thus:--Slip the cotton under the thick edge and fasten it, then cross it over and back so as to make 8 bars, then twist the cotton twice round 1 bar; this will bring it to the centre; work over and under each of the bars until a thick dot is formed; fasten the cotton beneath this, and twist it twice round the bar opposite to the first one you worked, and finish off.
138.--Embroidery Covering for a Quilted Counterpane.
Materials: Cashmere, cambric muslin, or linen; Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s embroidery cotton No. 4.
