CHURCH EMBROIDERY. Ancient and Modern. Originally published in
1867. PREFACE. THE want at the present day of a practical treatise
on Church Embroidery is so manifest that it would be super- fluous
to make any apology to the public for offering, in the following
pages, the result of several years personal experience in the
various branches of high-class needle- work. A few books on the
subject have been written within the last twenty-five years, but
they are to be regarded principally as mere histories of Decorative
Needlework, for, although highly and generally interesting to
readers, yet they prove utterly worthless as guides to uninitiated
workers. It is for the benefit of the latter that I have devoted
myself in this undertaking. The beautiful art of Church Embroidery
is so mysterious and perplexing to the novice, and so simple and
fascinating when understood, that I desire nothing more earnestly
than that every reader of these instructions, may become
proficient, if only for the lasting delight the knowledge will
assuredly confer. Many of the earliest books on weaving, textiles
and needlework, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and
before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are
republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality,
modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
