An article from Godey's Lady's Book on white and coloured needle embroidery, with a short history of tapestry and the Gobelins works. It gives instructions for working muslin embroidery (running, satin-stitch, eyelet holes, button-hole, feather, glover's, herring-bone and hem-stitch, veining) and for imitating antique lace fillings. It also covers chenille embroidery on silk, handkerchief initials and crests, and embroidery on net in imitation of Brussels point-lace. Fifteen engraved figures illustrate patterns and stitches.
