Abstract:

A needlework guide includes a sheet steel backing and a sheet steel frame defining a central, rectangular window therein. A picture to be produced in needlework is positioned on the backing. The picture is either superimposed on graph paper or a transparent overlay with a rectilinear grid thereon is positioned thereover. Magnetic strips hold the frame to the backing with the picture and any transparent overlay sandwiched therebetween. Vertical scales are positioned along opposite sides of the window with graduations equal to the spacing of the rectilinear grid and with numbers corresponding to the weft row to be woven. A horizontal scale also has graduations spaced at the same interval and duplicate sets of numbers ascending in both directions from the center of the scale. The numbers on the horizontal scale correspond to the warp yarns to be woven. Different colors of yarns are woven in correspondence with the colors on the image mounted between the frame and the backing.
