Theseuncut parts are called ties and are an in-tegral part of all stencilpatterns, for it is obvious that if we cut the alphabet, someletters, such as B, P and O, could not be produced did wenot leave ties to keep the portions surrounded by the No. 153.—Second Stencil Plate,for background and pattern onbutterfly used in the two follow-ing No. 154.—Border, produced by embroidering Nos. A and B. loops of the letters from falling out. In the diagram B, , we see how ties must be left if B is to be made into astencil, and it follows, therefore, that in designing stencils STENCILLING. 215 we must so arrange our pattern that these ties really doform part of the design, and in the other designs here givenit will be found that this necessity of making the tiesplay their proper role is attended to.
