An excerpt:
"In the endeavor to make this book larger and better than any previous edition we have called to our aid some of the best needleworkers and designers in this country, and the result is that we have the choicest collection of embroidery designs for home decoration it has ever been our privilege to present.
Special attention is called to the Corticelli Colored Plates...as they show not only the correct shading of each flower, but also the length and direction of the stitches."
