SJ Designs presents this 47 page book featuring a collection reproduced from antique needlework booklets - includes Eight different line-drawn alphabets in three sizes are suitable for most embroidery techniques. Charted designs include 20 alphabets, 7 sets of number and 20 borders or motifs, including several crowns. The borders in particular, have a distinctly “lacy” appearance. An interesting feature is that many letters and motifs can be worked in a single color “silhouette” style, or two colors to create a dimensional shaded effect; plus basic counted thread embroidery stitch techniques and a page of reproducible graph paper to aid you in creating your own designs. Note: As is typical of many 19th century alphabets, the letters “I” and “J” are considered interchangeable and only one is included
