Back Stitch Embroidery

Back Stitch Embroidery is one of the simplest kinds of work.

To Work: Trace the design upon fine leather, silk, satin, cloth, or linen materials, and then follow it with Back Stitch round every line; no filling in of patter is necessary, as the work is done in outline. The illustration above (Fig. 1) shows the back stitching upon leather. The illustration below (Fig. 2) shows the back stitching upon silk. Both are good samples of Back Stitch embroidery.

This work is now often done with the sewing machine, and can be brought by this means to great perfection.
