Fourth revised edition of this well-illustrated embroidery guide on stitches to be learned and executed on Singer Sewing Machines, together with a beautifully done sample book showing Ms. Alos' skills in learning the necessary skills in her Singer school in Villa Canas, Argentina. The Singer Sewing Machine company developed special Singer Sewing Academia in Argentina, Mexico, and many other South American countries, as well as Spain between the World Wars. These special private schools for professional dressmakers, using the Singer manuals allowed female-owned dressmaking businesses to grow, and create professional spaces separte from men. In addition, these academias allowed women to pay by the class, and embroidery was one of the advanced skills which commanded higher wages for women at the time. Singer actively encouraged this movement in order to develop home-based businesses and academias which in turn increased their sales of sewing machines. The sample book begins with a number of decorative types of embroidery stitches, monograms, and then displays floral patterns, spider-web patterns, laces, a beautifully embroidered red roses and carnations on purple silks and satins.
