What reading level is Embroidery; Or, the Craft of the Needle book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
English, late 17th century [532 — 1897]. During the latter part of the seventeenth century much of the design for English em- broidery was influenced by Oriental work.
The elements in this example have evidently been borrowed from the Chinese. The gaily coloured bird is specially characteristic.
Similar birds appear in the crewel-work hanging given on Plate No. 4. The design for the quilted coverlet is not intended to be seriously discussed ; it is slight, delicate, and perhaps a little absurd,... at the same time interesting and instructive. The stitches employed in the work are long-and-short, satin, and stem stitches, with chain stitch for the quilting. Plates No. i and 2 con- tain symbolical signs (see chapter com- mencing on page 36).
Plate No. 3.
