A Corticelli silk company booklet teaching surface embroidery with silk floss on linen, issued around 1905. It lists the correct silk colors for embroidering many flowers, college colors, and stamped and tinted linen, pillow, doily and centerpiece designs with prices. L. Barton Wilson's "Theory and Method of Embroidery" covers equipment, framing, hoops and hand position. Part II describes and illustrates stitches, including long and short, couching, outline, wound, buttonhole, Mountmellick, fancy and Hardanger stitches, and the booklet ends with advertisements for Corticelli silks.
