The difference at once apparent to the eye between the two is that, whereas for the mid-rib of a band or leaf of feather-stitching you have cross lines, in Oriental-stitch you have a straight line longer or shorter as the case may be. Oriental-stitch, sometimes called "Antique-stitch," is a stitch in three strokes, just as feather-stitch is a stitch in four.
The border at C is merely an elaboration of the above, with three slanting stitches on each edge instead of a single one in the direction of the band. Bands D, E, F, G, are variations of ordinary feather-stitch, requiring no further explanation than the back view of the work affords. On the face of the sampler it will be noticed that lines have been drawn for the guidance of the worker.
Then some girl will pick it up to sew her doll clothes, and there will not be enough for Susie's dress." Cordelia Running Bird held her breath as these thoughts came to her. "But I do not know if I can feather-stitch it now, for there is no one to teach me, that I know of. Just like Hannah Straight Tree and the dormitory girls will tell the whole school to hate me, and they will.
"Now you have talked Dakota, and you must report yourself," Hannah Straight Tree said triumphantly. "You wished the dormitory girls would have to lie in bed now you must lie in bed yourself. You cannot feather-stitch or speak to anyone." The unclean water froze upon the stairs, and Cordelia Running Bird's work of thawing it with hot water was a long and painful process.
There are only two more Saturdays till Christmas, and to-day I want to feather-stitch the little new blue dress for Susie. She will wear it every day when she is here Christmas. Many white and Indian visitors will be here." "And you will feel so proud because the visitors and the school will look at Susie, and the middle-sized and little girls will always choose her in the games.
"Now I shall not show her how to feather-stitch the little blue dress," said the largest girl, who was quite famous at embroidery, and had partly promised to instruct Cordelia Running Bird in her work that day. "And I shall not help her make the little red dress, as she will be wanting me next week," resolved a south dormitory bed girl, Emma Two Bears, who was standing in the doorway.
There is no end to such possible INTERLACINGS. Those on the sampler do not need much explanation; but it may be as well to say that A starts with crewel-stitching; B and C with back-stitching; D with chain-stitching; E with darning or running; F, G, and H with varieties of herring-bone-stitch; J with Oriental-stitch; and K with feather-stitch.
