A Butterick Publishing Co. booklet from 1902 from the Fancy Stitches series, mostly devoted to darned-net (embroidery darned on bobbinet) designs. It gives a short history of machine-made bobbin net and describes darning methods and materials (wash-silk floss, India floss, darning flosses). Thirty-four figures show pillow-shams, edgings, insertions, tidies, kerchiefs, scarfs, a tie-end, a cuff and a yoke, followed by an 1776-era sampler, frame and infant's cap. The cover also lists faggoting, cross-stitch and smocking, but the pages present only darned-net.
