Hinda M. Hands explains materials, mounting frames and tracing designs, then each technique in turn: laid gold-work, silk shading, outline and appliqué, fringes and finishing. She writes for church needlewomen making altar linen, frontals, banners and vestments, and explains why each finish matters.
