Eyelet Embroidery and Its Future Possibilities (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Eyelet Embroidery and Its Future Possibilities<br><br>In response to many inquiries about Eyelet Embroidery or Madeira Work from the Art Needlework Trade and teachers of embroidery throughout the country who are familiar with the several books we have published in recent years on stitchery of all kinds, we take pleasure in presenting a collection of suggestions on this new (old) work properly called "Eyelet Embroidery." Long, complicated descriptive matter that so often constitutes so many pages of fancy work books is conspicuously absent in this book, as experience teaches us that illustrations large enough to show detail work are more valuable to a novice than flowery language set in type. The possibilities of Eyelet Embroidery are not exhausted by any means in this issue; the pages of suggestions given are only forerunners of what will be shown in later editions which we shall issue if the popularity of this style of needlework meets with the favor we confidently expect.<br><br> Dealers can be supplied at wholesale rates with many of the designs shown herein stamped on suitable fabrics.<br><br> We have no retail department, but will cheerfully refer any lady desirous of obtaining the designs, to our customers dealing in them.<br><br> To insure best results in white work with silk we recommend Shade No.689 Blue White. Spanish Floss for fine work. Turkish Floss for heavier work.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
