Raised Work
For a raised leaf work up the stem with seven pairs of bobbins, turn the pillow round and work back with nine or ten pairs according to the width of leaf, pins set up on one side, sewings taken up on the stem. Examples:—
Fern Leaf.—Work up the stem with plain stem-work, turn the pillow round, come down again with pins and sewings, then plait each as far as the point of the other leaf, sewing, throw and tie and come back as before. Each raised veining to be done in the same way till you get to the bottom of the fern.
Butterfly.—Chain, work one pin each side, crossing the two leaders from one side to the other, and work as before.
