I come across examples related to this now and then--typically a series of single squares mounted one by one to the pages of a sewing class notebook, each demonstrating one type of stitch or seam or hem--but more rarely do I come across a larger example, polished and resolved and standing beautifully on its own. Detail photos give a good sense of the skills being employed, with each quadrant composed of two pieces of the same cloth, such that I think could be best described as demonstrating four different types of patching--making it complement to a darning sampler, also exemplifying the necessity of knowing how to mend! Monogrammed FL and, I know from the seller, German, later 19th century I believe. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12\" x 12\" and in excellent condition. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"critical EYE Finds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47754707108094,"sku":null,"price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/5022\/1382\/files\/IMG_2180.png?v=1768950205","url":"https:\/\/www.criticaleyefinds.com\/products\/super-crisp-antique-monogrammed-sewing-sampler-patching-seams-stitches-fasteners","provider":"critical EYE Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
