A D.M.C Library album on drawn thread work and cut work on linen, edited by Th. de Dillmont. It explains materials, hem-stitches, insertions (interverted, knotted and overcast clusters, darning-stitch bars), openwork grounds, corners, cut stitch, Reticella, Hedebo, Hardanger and Mexican styles. Numbered engraved figures illustrate stitches, and twenty photographic plates are each followed by directions giving linen type, threads removed, and D.M.C thread sizes. It ends with a list of D.M.C Library publications and thread-size charts.
