Book Description
A MOST complete collection of stitches admirably grouped with many interesting examples of methods of work. Mrs. Christie's systematic grouping of the numerous stitches and the thoroughness and completeness in which the possibility of each stitch is worked out, shown both in the text and the clearly drawn diagrams, should be of much use both to the beginner and to the more advanced worker. The book aims, however, at being more than a good collection of stitches, and succeeds also in showing the application of the stitches in design. Indeed, in her Introductory 1st chapter, Mrs. Christie endeavors to lead the beginner along the right path to pattern designing for embroidery, and to the beginner much may, no doubt, be found useful here as a basis for experiment. Illustrating the methods of using the different groups of stitches in design are examples of many varied and original samplers. Of these samplers VII and VIII are by far the most satisfactory in simple, straightforward workmanship and design. There are shown worked some fifty different line stitches, arranged in short horizontal rows on two panels, well spaced, showing clearly the working and effect of each stitch—the whole forming an interesting and entirely satisfactory piece of work, adequately fulfilling its use as a sampler. We feel that none of the other elaborate designs for samplers in this book would have suffered either in design or purpose for more of this simple, straightforward method of treatment. —The Burlington Magazine for Connoisseurs, Volume 39

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
