The dictionary of needlework : an encyclopædia of artistic, plain, and fancy needlework ...
An illustrated encyclopaedia of plain and fancy needlework compiled by Sophia Caulfeild and Blanche Saward, published in London by L. Upcott Gill in 1882 for home embroiderers and professional workers. Wood-engraved close-ups show stitches worked over ruled canvas grids: crossed bands, darned squares, radiating star fillings, threaded needles mid-stitch, all dense black hatching on plain ground, usable as repeat textures and borders.
