A D.M.C Library instruction book on drawn-thread work (jours sur toile), first series, in French. It explains materials and threads, then progresses from hems and rivières (drawn-thread bands) through knotted and crossed bundles, darning-stitch bars, and cut-work (point coupé) grounds to spiders, rosettes, Hardanger, Reticella-style, Mexican and Danish Hedebo borders. Numbered figures illustrate stitches and samples, and Planches I to XX are photographic plates with worked instructions giving thread counts and D.M.C thread numbers. The book ends with a list of D.M.C Library publications and a page of D.M.C thread labels.
