131.--Insertion
in Embroidery.
Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s embroidery cotton
No. 16.
This insertion is worked in raised satin stitch and
buttonhole stitch. The outlines must first be traced and the space filled up
with chain stitches. To work a leaf, begin at the point, working from right to
left, making short stitches, and always inserting the needle close above the
outline and drawing it out below. The holes left for the ribbon to pass through
are worked in plain button-hole stitch, the dots are worked in raised satin
stitch.

raised satin stitch, the scallops in button-hole stitch, and the outer edge of
the leaves in back stitch (No. 70, Embroidery Instructions) with No. 10 cotton.
