Royal School of Art-Needlework
Prepared Work.
Work can be obtained from the Royal School of Art-Needlework having a design traced, a portion of the embroidery commenced, and sufficient materials for finishing. Ladies’ own materials will be traced and prepared for working if desired. Dresses must be cut out and tacked together before being sent to the School, and lines marked on the material to show where the design is to be placed.
When an order for prepared work is executed exactly by the directions given, or when the selection of Design or Colouring is left to the School, the work cannot be exchanged or taken back.
The materials supplied with the work are considered more than sufficient to finish it, and if more are required afterwards they must be purchased separately.
A few specimen prices are quoted, but no estimates can be given for prepared work, except in cases of large orders where a great quantity of material is supplied.
[Pg 101] All Designs supplied are Copyright of the Royal School of Art-Needlework, and must not be made use of for purposes of sale.
Designs on paper are not supplied under any circumstances, nor can work be sent out on approbation.
All work supplied is stamped with the monogram of the Royal School of Art-Needlework, as above, in addition to the letters P. W.
