Singer instructions for art embroidery
A 1911 instruction booklet on art embroidery published by the Singer Sewing Machine Company in New York, aimed at home sewers learning machine embroidery. The pictures show embroidered and lace-like textile samples: a black and white geometric lace-style pattern, a floral and ribbon-bow spray between vertical stripes, a stylized flower appliqué with scrolling outlines, and a leafy scroll lace panel. A designer might take their dense repeating motifs, bow and floral sprays, and scrolling tendrils as pattern reference.
