Materials: Muslin, Brussels net; Messrs. Walter Evans and

Tack the traced muslin over the net and work the scallop of

stitch (see No. 77 in Embroidery Instructions). The raised dots are also worked
in satin stitch (see page 90 of Embroidery Instructions). Lastly, work the
outer edging of round scallops and the lines of raised dots, and with a pair of
embroidery scissors carefully cut away the muslin from the outer edge and from
the leaves of the centre pattern.

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.

Embroidery Covering for a Quilted Counterpane.
This is an embroidery-pattern for a woollen or silk quilted

the right side, and buttoned down at the point of each scallop. The pattern is
a quilted counterpane of scarlet cashmere; the lining is of fine linen. Before
embroidering it, make the points for the corners. The embroidery is worked in
button-hole stitch, overcast, satin, and ladder stitch. It can also be worked
on fine cambric or muslin, and then the embroidered pattern sewn on the piece
of linen which forms the cover on the wrong side. Make the button-holes as seen
on illustration, and sew on mother-of-pearl or china buttons.

dots, in groups of four, are worked on the inner side of the last row of
