Victorian Piano Cover
The Piano Cover instructions below were published in 1889. This particular design, as you will probably notice, lends itself to a multitude of projects. The stitches are easily mastered and your finished embroidered piece will most assuredly be quite successful. Design for a Piano-Cover or Table-Cloth Click on picture to see more detail. The engraving above represents a very handsome design for a piano-cover, table-spread, or stand-cloth. The model from which this illustration was copied is made on garnet wool canvas with a rich, gold-colored floss, and is probably as effective a combination as can be suggested. However, personal taste and the prevailing tint in a room where the article embroidered is to be used must direct combinations. It is not necessary to use canvas, as cloth, felt or Canton flannel may be preferred; but the meshes of canvas will be found of great assistance in following the pattern with regularity of stitch. The work is all done in a long, back-stitch or a sort of Kensington stitch, and is extremely effective in appearance. Return to top of Piano Cover page. Return to Victorian Crafts page.
