For collars and other society vestments the cardboard foundationis pasted directly on the velvet forming the collars and covered with thebullion.

After the leaves of thepattern have been placed in position the bullion is worked over them,beginning at one edge of a leaf and ending the bullion in the center. Oneside of a leaf finished, the reverse side is then worked, and a thread ofanother shade of bullion is carried down the center to form the CHURCH AND BULLION EMBROIDERIES. m After all the leaves are worked, the stems and tendrils of the vine are to beworked directly on the velvet, without any cardboard foundation.
