An article on the cross-stitch embroidery of mountain villages in central Italy, where girls embroider cotton kerchiefs with love-sonnet borders and symbolic motifs given by sweethearts. It describes the old "Santa Croce" linen samplers worked in red cotton, from which about 200 designs were collected, and lists common love and religious emblems. The scan also includes the end of a separate article on woven bags, with warp and color details.

Folio 17 from the Osma Gallinger Tod Studio presents the Spanish openwork weave, a lace-like technique woven on a plain-weave ground using zig-zag weft stitches over groups of warp threads. It gives warp and weft plans, row-by-row directions for four methods, and notes on designing with cross-stitch charts. Most of the folio is charted motifs for lace borders and inserts: baskets, vases, lovers, birds, animals, religious emblems, crosses, and wreaths.

Gertrude Whitman Howells describes the Spanish stitch, a lacy, open weft technique woven on a tabby shed, which she revived after finding an old linen strip in Seville. She gives its history in the Toledo region, the three-movement method, and step-by-step directions for a row of pyramids. She also covers common mistakes, suggested reed, warp and weft yarns, and her use of a colored foundation warp. Illustrations include cross-stitch pattern charts, a sample strip drawing, and photographs of a runner with a fringed end and a corner.
