Easy Fillings for Embroidery.

Basket stitch is one of the simplest fillings to place In a pattern on which

the maker desires to spend no great amount of time. It is effective in almost any outline, whether solid satin stitch, buttonholing; couching, or the “snail trail." The trellis stitch, which Is very popular on some of the chiffon embroideries, is a development of the simpler basket stitch, and has threads

of the latter caught down at every point of crossing. Seeding consists of short, even back stitches taken at regular t intervals, succeeding lines having the stitches midway between the stitches of preceding lines. An even slmjger form at seeding sometimes seen on

soft fabrics is a simple run of the embroidery silk, with the surface stitches alternating.
