An Excerpt:
"The present book has been prepared in response to a demand for something fuller and more completely illustrated than the two smaller handbooks previously printed in my name. My one great object has been to help my fellow workers to make gloves which will prove a pleasure when finished. Knowing that this result could only be attained by scientific patterns, I have not rested satisfied with general appreciation alone, but have had the satisfaction of seeing my pupils turning out gloves which vied with those of the highest professional standard. I venture to think this result is confirmed by the illustrations of the gloves they have made."
(All gloves displayed in this item's plates were produced by her students utilizing the author's methods which are meticulously presented in the original book, and hence, in this Unabridged CD Republication™.
