A short article by Mary Meigs Atwater describing the "imprisoned sequin" technique, in which sequins, buttons, shells or rhinestones are enclosed in small open double-woven pockets within a plain tabby fabric. It gives yarn and sett examples (Lily Pearl Cotton and 20/6 filler), and treadling instructions for four-harness rising and sinking shed set-ups and for eight-harness threadings with several tie-ups, including pick-up stick use. It also covers shirring with cords, care and pressing of sequined pieces, and a supplier for sequins. The leaflet was published by Lily Mills and includes a page advertising Lily hand weaving yarns.
