_D. =Queen Anne Stitch.=_--Another form of darning is the "Queen
Anne Stitch." In this the silk is not sewed through the fabric but
first laid in long parallel lines from side to side of the outline,
then crossed at right angles by weaving in threads alternately. This is
rather mechanical and not so artistic as the first method, though we
may see very curious examples of it in the old English embroideries.
