_Materials_--22 inch Size: Corticelli Filo Silk, 2 skeins each
615, 692.8; 1 skein each 503, 504, 505, 506, 507, 692.9, 753, 754,
780, 781, 782. Corticelli Persian Floss, 5 skeins 615. Dealers can
furnish stamped linen of this design in 22 inch size. See page 92.
Border.--Work the scallop with Corticelli Persian Floss, White, 615,
in buttonhole stitch long and short to the inside line. Shade into the
white with one thread of Corticelli Filo Silk, 692.8., making an even
line or finish on the narrow part of the scallop but leaving an uneven
edge at the points. Shade these points with a few stitches of 692.9,
thus giving them a darker effect.
Four Corners in Border.--Work the cross-bar in outline stitch with one
thread of Corticelli Filo Silk, 692.8. Make a cross stitch with 692.9
where the lines intersect. Stuff the two jewels with cotton, or, better
still, Corticelli Persian Floss, to raise the work, and then work over
in satin stitch with Filo, 692.8, and outline with the same shade.
