(See Blue Plate on front of book) Material.- French embroidery cotton, No. 20. THIS description of work, now so extremely fashionable for every description of dress, is usually done on fine jeconet muslin; and, to prepare the pattern, either of the following methods may be used: Place the muslin over the pattern, taking care to keep it even and tight' then, with a fine camel's hair brush, and a solution of indigo or powder blue, mixed with gum-water, copy the outline of the pattern, and, to continue it, take care, after one length of the design is drawn, to place the muslin so that the pattern joins correctly. The other method, which is useful for thicker material Take the design, and, with a fine penknife or scissors, cut out the black parts of the pattern, place it over the material to be used, and trace it round the cut out parts as above directed; pierce the small eyelet-hole with a stiletto. When the pattern is prepared, tack the muslin on a piece of oil-cloth (green is the best color to worn on for all descriptions of embroidery); run twine round the outline of the pattern with the cotton used double, and join the open space, cut a small piece of the centre of the rounds and oval --- single cotton run round, and the edges--- the foundation. In the parts between --- and rounds, when there is only a small--- muslin, the whole should be overcast--- one bar between the open space--- for the ovals which form the scallops round edge, the diamonds of twelve ovals, and --- which form the vandykes.
