And While This Annouhcsmsnt Deals with Embroidering, Why Not a Word
or Two Defining Some of the Popular Work ih Art Embroidery?
Eyelet Embroidery—This style of nee-
(Ufe-work, familiarly known as English or
stiletto embroider}-, has in the last few
years been revived for home decorative
and wearing apparel purposes. It consists
of small round or oval holes, made with a
sharp-pointed scissors or a stiletto. Be
fore the opening is made a thread is run
around the design carefully, and the open
ing is made by means of cutting toward
each end, which tends to shape the design.
The cloth is neatly rolled under and the
needlework is done in an overstitch
fashion, all around the opening. Linen
thread not too fine is employed for em-
bi’oidering the eyelets. This linen thread
should be selected according to the quality
of linen, used for the pattern.
Mt. Mellick Embroidery—This em
broidery takes its name from the village of
Mt. Mellick, in Queen’s County, Ireland.
The work is susceptible of many varia
tions. Usually it is done on white linen,
Mt. Mellick cloth, or linen damask. It is
suitable for center pieces, scarfs, bed
spreads, shirt waists, etc. A pearl-luster
embroidery thread, in varied sizes, or Mt.
Melliek silk, is employed to produce the
correct effect in this work.
Hardanger Embroidery—In Western
Norway, on the banks of a little river,
stands the city of Hardanger. This is
where the Hardanger embroidery work
originated, aud from there it was taken up
by the whole of Europe. It was introduced
here a few years ago and has since held a
prominent place in the department of art
needlework. It is made in scrim or canvas,
which may be obtained in different sizes
or meshes. The work is simple and
beautiful and is recommended for its dura
bility. The thread employed has a pearl
luster.
Holbein Embroidery—This work is a
cross-stitch embroider}' done in red and
blue cotton only. The origin of Holbein
may be traced back to Hans Holbein, an
artist living in the fifteenth century, who
originally employed a similar design in his
paintings, which show antique borders,
dragons, heraldic emblems and figures of
men and women in court costume. The
work is done on a Russian linen cloth of
quite heavy quality. It is used in decorat
ing towels, table cloths, doilies, center
pieces and bedspreads.
Hedebo Embroidery—This interesting
work is known to many art embroidery
lovers as Danish embroidery. It is of Dan
ish origin, and is one of the highest arts in
the white embroidery line. Hedebo em
broider}’ is done on white or cream Danish
art linen, an embroidery thread being used
for making the eyelets, filo-twist for the
solid work, and a linen lace thread for the
lace stitches. All figures are first outlined,
then buttonholed neatly in a narrow but
tonhole stitch around the edge. . The little
triangles, stars, fans, crescents, etc., which
combine to make the artistic designs are
also made of the buttonhole stitches, work
ed very close together. In order that the
stitches be uniform they are counted.
Shadow Embroidery—Unlike any oth
er kind of art needlework, the shadow em
broidery is worked on the wrong side of
the material, thus reflecting the outline
only on the right side. The embroidery
work is one of the simplest ever produced.
It is very effective when used for shirt
waist decorations, collar and cuffs, pillows,
corset covers, scarfs and center pieces.
The material on which the work is done
must be very sheer, so that the embroidery
can show through oh the right side; hence
the name “shadow.” The stitch is very
simple, being worked from one edge to an
other. The right side stitches must be
close together, making a perfect outline for
the pattern. The work resembles appli
que. It is shown in machine as well as
hand-done patterns. Such work when in a
delicate color is very rich and attractive.
Nordisca Embroidery—This is an artis
tic embroidery, recently developed. The
designs are embroidered in a cross stitch
form on buff material. This work is sym
bolic of picturesque Norway, and the in
troduction of figures and animals peculiar
to that country make the designs extreme
ly interesting. It is shown in both stamp
ed aud finished pieces, such as towels, cen
ter pieces, table covers and portieres. Un
like the usual cross stitch, there is no
counting to be done, as the work is less
exact. Red, green, black and -blue are
combined in the designs.
