A chapter from David Bremner's The Industries of Scotland (1869) on the manufacture of sewed (embroidered) muslin. It traces the history of embroidery from antiquity, the rise of the trade in Glasgow and Ayrshire in the early 19th century, its extension to the north of Ireland, and the lithographic printing of designs from 1837. It also covers how work was given out through agents, the 1857 crisis, working conditions of the sewers, and Heilmann's embroidering machine.
