 THE STITCHES. 
 
 WWBCJSCranJWBWraJW!?^ BITTOX hole stitch.— cms Xd. l and No. 2 show the iTiethod o 
 ,K/fH;']i inaktiig Button Hole Stitch, which is used I'ui- edging cuttou enitjroiiiery 
 
 S VTIM STI I'CII, cut No. 3, i.s used in working the leaves and flowers 
 in iili Ivinds of silk and uottun embrdiderv. 
 
 'I'he stamped pattern should fir.-l be run round, then after Fewing in a 
 few tiire.i<ls in long loose stitches lengthwise of the leaf, the siit( hes are 
 sewed in closely side by side in a slanting and contrary direction, follow- 
 ing carefully tlie detining line of the pattern. 
 
 EYELET HOLES.-Incut No. 4 is shown the method of working Eye- 
 let Holes, or oinn embroidery. The pattern, he it leaf or hole, is first run 
 roun<i, then the material, after being slashed with a pair of pointed 
 scissors, or pierced with a stUleto, is turned back, and sewed neatly and 
 lirmly over and over. 
 
 EMBROIDERY WHEEL.— Cht No. 5 illustrates the manner of making 
 one kind ofwlieel which is often used in cotton embroidery. It is first 
 run round, then cut out with a pair of fine scissors, a small margin being 
 lilt to turn back where it should be neatly sewed over and over, or button 
 hole stitcheil. 
 
 Ihc space is filled in by sewing threads from side to side of the open 
 jpuL-, and knotting them in the centre, &c. 
 
 IIKRRING BONE Stitch is made iiy sewing backwards and alternating 
 loose loops of button hole stitch. Cut No. 6 gives a very good idea of how 
 to make this stitch. 
 
 CHAIN STITCH is formed by a loop made first npon the upper side of 
 the material, and tlie needle passed up through, securing the loop. The 
 needle is then passed back near where it was drawn up. a stitch taken 
 towards you. and each time this is done theloup is left around the needle, 
 forming a link in the chain. See cut No. 7. 
 
 Double Chain Stitch is done much the same, except that the needle is 
 put 111 further to the left, and twisted a little as it passes through as is 
 11 liquated incut No. 8. 
 
 KNOT STITCH, cut No. 9. is formed by bringing the needle up through 
 I iKMiiateiial. winding the silk or thread around the needle two or three 
 iiiiiis. and putting it back preci-ely in the same place it came up, being 
 'iiiclul not to tangle the silk as it passes through. 
 
 11 rM STITCH as here illustrated is made as follows: A few threads are 
 first (Iran n oui of the maierial to be heni-stitcheil, and wiih the needle, 
 till ee. four or more threads are taken up, and the stitch caught in the 
 hem, as seen in cut No. 12, 
 
 HAILWAY STITCH is made by winding the thread over the needle a 
 iiuniiier of times, or as many times as the space to be filled will require. 
 No running out is necessary for this stitch, but a tracing only. See cut 
 No. 13. 
 
 FEATHER OR CORAL STITCH, is fullT e.\plained by the cuts, Nos. 14 
 and 15. 
 
 KENSINGTON .STITCH. -In cuts No. 19 and 21 are seen the style of 
 taking the sti'ch used in Crewel embroidery or Kensington Stitch. The 
 stitches should be even y laid and dovetailed one into another; the out- 
 line of the design should be carefully lollowed. but the interior of the 
 leafor petal filled in according to the shaiie. The stalks of the flowers 
 should be woi ked in stcm-stitch. See cut No. 20 
 
 OUTLINE STITCH, as seen in cut 23. is used in outlining designs upon 
 linen, and is very popular for embroidering Ihe ends of towels, for 
 splashers, doylies Ac. It is usually done In cotton, but may be done in 
 etching silk, which comes for the purpose.

 DIRECTIONS 
 
 FOlt STA.^IPING WITH 
 
 Perforated Parchment Patterns. 
 
 DRY STAMPING is done by placing the Pattern (rougli side up) 
 upon tlie material to be stamped, putting weights of some kind upon the 
 corners sufficiently lieavy to keep the pattern from moving. Take a 
 little of the powder from the box and put it upon the bottom of a plate or 
 saucer and rub the Distriliuting Pad in it. then rub the pad with the powder 
 upon it over the perforations till the pattern i.s clearly defined \ipon the 
 material, this can be ascertained by raising one corner of the paltei ii. The 
 Pattern can now be removed and the stamping fixed with a hot sad iron, 
 keeping a piece of paper between the iron and the material. Do not move 
 the iron about but hold it a moment in one place and then change positions. 
 This melts the gum in the powder and sets tlie color. If tlie lieat changes 
 the color of tlie material, iron it all over. Stampingis done better in a cool, 
 dry day, and the powder should be kept in a dry cool place. 
 
 Tlic above is the best way to do stamping on light colored materials 
 but for dark material where the blue powder would not show plainly, 
 MOIST STAMPING- is tlie best, as light colored powders do not 
 work well. In Moist Stamping paint is used — zinc white mixed with 
 boiled oil and some drying is very good mixed to the consistency of cream 
 and put on with a brush whicli has a square end. or it may be rubbed on 
 with the back of adinner knife being careful not to injure the pattern. The 
 paint must not bo allowed to dry on the pattern but both sides must be 
 immediately cleaned off witli spirits turpculiue or benzine, and an old cloll;. 
 Persons doing only a little stamping can procure a small tube of the zinc 
 wlutc and some boiled oil and drying and mix the paint tliemselves, but if 
 Ihey are dealers and doing considerable stamping they should have a painter 
 mix r. considerable amount for them, wldch if kept covered, will remain 
 good for :: long lime. The brush should be either kept in water all the time 
 or should bo washed out every time it is used.
