which gives the same general slant.
Much Of the effect of cross-stitch work
depends upon the canvas. 1t pays to
get that specially prepared for this en-
broidery. as ordinary canvas Is uneven
and may ruin the work. The imorted
canvas from Germany is best liked, as 1t
II even. fine. and the threads pull easily.
Use Fine Canvass.
For the fine work used on towels and
other Empire designs. choose a very fine
canvas and a lightweight cotton Tho
results are far daintier than when bold,
coarse cross-stitching Is done. With the
right kind Of canvas. this stitching may
appear az exquisite as solid embroidery
Do not attempt to do your cross-stitch-
ing directly on the material unless on
certain very open mesh weaves. The
threads are sure to be irregular. and the
work will not be accurate. besides being
hard on the eyes. The time taken to
baste on bits OF canvas and pull out
threads when finished Will be saved
many times over In working.
Unless very proficient, do not attempt
shaded cross stitching without colored
pattern These designs must be resu-
lar. and do not lend themselves to hap
hazard shading.
