INITIAL LETTERS IN EMBROIDERY.[Fig. 3.]
The C and E here represented are given in a style more suitable for marking household linen and large articles than for embroidering delicate handkerchiefs.
Materials.—Ingrain Turkey red, and white embroidery cotton, No. 70 for linen, and 80 for cambric.
The letters are to be worked in raised satin stitch, with white cotton, and the whole surrounded by a single thread of red, sewed closely over; this throws the letters into strong relief, and has a very chaste and beautiful effect.
In future numbers we shall give other and more decorative styles of letters, for handkerchiefs, &c.
