| Summary | "Encyclopedia of Needlework" by Thérèse de Dillmont is a comprehensive guide on needlework written in the late 19th century. This work serves as an extensive reference manual for all aspects of needlecraft, including both plain and fancy techniques. It aims to educate readers, particularly women, on various types of sewing and embroidery practices, illustrated with detailed descriptions and patterns. The opening of the encyclopedia sets the stage for the author's well-founded intent to address the lack of a complete resource on needlework. Dillmont explains her motivation to compile this reference from years of study and offers clear, practical advice for anyone engaged in sewing. She highlights the importance of mastering foundational skills, such as proper body and hand positioning while sewing, as well as the choice of materials and tools like needles and threads. The opening segment introduces readers to plain sewing techniques, emphasizing simplicity and accessibility, making it clear that this book will provide both novices and seasoned crafters with valuable knowledge and direction in the art of needlework.
