Broderie Anglaisealso known asEnglish EmbroideryBroderie Anglaise, also known as English Embroidery, is a simple kind of White Embroidery. True patterns for this type of embroidery are outlines of various sized holes, arranged to make floral geometrical devices.
To work: Run embroidery cotton round the outlines, then piece the holes with a stiletto, or cut with scissors and turn the edges under and sew over with embroidery cotton. The art in the work consists in cutting and making all the holes that should be the same size to match, and in taking the sewing over stitches closely and regularly, as shown in Fig. 1, below.
The work is adapted for trimming washing dresses or underlinen. Return to top of Broderie Anglaise Page. Return to Types of Embroidery Return to Home page. |
