Description

The Handbook of Embroidery was composed by L. (Letitia) Higgin and altered by Lady Marian Alford- -that is the manner by which their names show up on the cover sheet. The first book was distributed in London in 1880 by Sampson Low, Marston, Searle, and Rivington in the Crown Buildings on Fleet Street. It is 106 pages in length despite the fact that its fascinating on the grounds that the last part is truly a list for the buy of thing completing at the Royal School of Art-Needlework. Going before them, nonetheless, in the last pages of this book, shows up the PROSPECTUS for the development of the Royal School of Art-Needlework. It is expressed that the School was fused under "The Companies' Acts, 1862 and 1867," by permit of the Board of Trade.


“Crewel should be cut into short threads, never more than half the length of the skein. If a long needleful is used, it is not only apt to pull the work, but is very wasteful, as the end of it is liable to become frayed or knotted before it is nearly worked up. If it is necessary to use it double (and for coarse work, such as screen panels on sailcloth, or for embroidering on Utrecht velvet, it is generally better doubled), care should be taken never to pass it through the eye of the needle, knotting the two ends; but two separate threads of the length required should be passed together through the needle.”
