An excerpt:

''Embroidery on net has become one of the most attractive kinds of needlework, being both easy to do and adaptable to a great variety of uses. The reason of its not having until now taken its rightful place amongst the many different forms of needlework, and of having failed to find favour with amateurs of fancy work, is perhaps due to the knotted net on which it had to be done having to be made by hand which was a slow and rather tedious process. But now net materials with meshes of every sort of size are machine-made, which imitate the hand-made to perfection and bear washing equally well.

The embroideries reproduced in the plates of the present album have all been worked on such machine-made net and we have satisfied ourselves that it meets every requirement and in every respect equals the hand-made article.

Nevertheless, added to the description of the different embroidery stitches employed, the necessary directions for making the net by hand are given in case any of our readers should prefer making it themselves.  ''
