Elementary embroidery
Elementary embroidery is a 1915 instruction manual on needlework by Mary Antrobus, published in New York and London for beginners learning stitches. Its pictures are simple red-and-black line diagrams of needle paths, looped stitches and rows of upright thread marks, lettered with reference points, which a designer could use as clean stitch-pattern motifs or as examples of hand-drawn technical instruction.
