An 1859 American needlework instruction manual by Mrs. Pullan, covering a wide range of ornamental needlework with stitch instructions and over 300 engravings. Sections treat Berlin-work, crochet, knitting, netting, embroidery, muslin-work, point lace and other laces, tatting, bead-work, patchwork, wire-work, potichomanie and shading and coloring. Later chapters give knitted, crocheted and beaded patterns for specific articles, and describe materials (beads, cords, cottons, needles, nets, wools). The book also has a list of suitable gift items, a glossary of French and German terms and a postscript. The book has no weaving drafts.
