A pattern book of needlework and embroidery designs drawn by Margaretha Helmin and published by Johann Christoph Weigel in Nuremberg in 1730 for women working at the needle. The engraved plates show curling acanthus scrolls, stylised blossoms and leaves filled with checkerboard, dotted and hatched textures, singly or mirrored into symmetrical panels — ready-made scroll motifs, fill textures and border units.
