Get yourself a copy of "The Complete Encyclopedia of Needlework" by Theresa
de Dillmont. I don't know who's publishing it now, but it was published by
DMC and it's never been out of print since the mid-19th century. In the
Plain Sewing chapter, there is a section on openwork seams, with
instructions. I've done a lot of shirts with these seams, and they're
strong and work up pretty fast.

Subject: [h-cost] Seam Insertions
After getting totally disgusted with my current smock for my Italian, I
decided it was time for a new one. I have the latest Patterns of Fashion
and
would like to include some of their fabulous seam insertions. I think I
know how to do it - but would like to know if anyone on this list has
experience, details, pictures, advice, etc.
