Prepared for the Royal School of Art Needlework, this little guide covers needles, silks, wools and gold threads, the linen and silk grounds used for embroidery, the stitches taught at the school, framing work and the couching and laid stitches done in a frame. It is meant to help needlewomen who cannot attend lessons.

A Victorian guide still useful to embroiderers interested in traditional technique. Download the free EPUB.
