Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Mecklenburg thread No. 8 or 16.
These corner borders are very suitable for couvrettes, and, worked with
fine thread, for pocket-handkerchiefs. The netted ground of the borders
is to be worked in the size seen in illustration; for the border No. 553
darn the ground in button-hole stitch, darning stitch, point d'esprit,
and point de feston; the pattern No. 552 is worked in linen stitch and
point d'esprit; small wheels are also to be worked. Both borders are to
be worked round in button-hole stitch; the netted ground is cut away
along the outside.
