Book excerpt: Excerpt from Art Needlework Five large editions of our former pamphlet on Rules and Designs for Using Knitting and Embroidery Silks have been eagerly sought after and studied by thousands of ladies, whose words of commendation encourage us to attempt to do still better in this our sixth effort. To this end, new and desirable rules have been added, and only the best of the old ones retained. In arranging this book we aim, first, to suggest to knitters and embroiderers a number of practical, useful, and ornamental articles that may be made with our celebrated Knitting and Embroidery Silks; next, to furnish such designs, rules and stitches, that any one, though not familiar with knitting or embroidery, may adapt them to the article in hand, as fancy or ingenuity may dictate. We shall esteem it a favor if any lady will write us and state the omissions or mistakes of any kind found in our rules or other printed matter. We shall also be pleased to get new rules, designs and new ideas of any kind, either in knitting, crocheting or embroidery.

In order that we may be justified in the use of such a term, we Should be fully aware' of all that is implied in it, and, not satisfied With merely following a passing fashion, possess ourselves of lasting principles by which to regulate our work - principles that at the same time may be a growing source of refined pleasure, as leading to the cultivation of the artistic sense.

Download or read book Art in Needlework written by Lewis F. Day and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sharpen up your needlework and tighten your stitching techniques with this detailed and highly effective instruction book. Those looking for how to improve their embroidery skills should dive straight in. Art in Needlework: A Book About Embroidery is an instructional originally published in 1900 and written by Lewis F. Day and Mary Buckle. As the name suggests, this book is all about the techniques and materials one must master in order to become an expert in the art of embroidery. Art in Needlework begins with a series of chapters on specific stitches used in embroidery. From canvas and crewel stiches to herringbone and buttonhole stitches, all of the basics and a great deal of the advanced stitches are detailed here. Large black and white images accompany the text, greatly assisting those who are oriented more towards visual learning. The book progresses from a detailed description of specific stitches to a discussion of the decisions faced by an embroiderer and the big-picture techniques to be used. Chapters focus on selecting the appropriate stitch, creating outlines, shading techniques, and much more. In the author's own words: "The custom has been, since woman learnt to kill time with the needle, to think of embroidery too much as an idle accomplishment. It is more than that. At the very least it is a handicraft: at the best it is an art... [This book] sets forth to show what decorative stitching is, how it is done, and what it can do."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Successful Embroidery Shop: A Book That Deals With Art Needlework as a Business A good many years ago when fate directed my steps toward the realms of art embroidery, I searched through libraries and book stores for a guide, some sort of handbook or anything that would give definite instructions and information concerning my new trade. But my efforts were in vain - there was nothing, absolutely no book on the market that would tell me a word about the right way to supply the demands of the embroidering public. This condition naturally told me that whatever success I might achieve would be through my own experiences, and consequently I kept my eyes wide open.
