SUMMARY: I only have one sample issue of this magazine - so happy I got it, because it has an article and tatting pattern by Norma Benporath. Australian Needlework got many of its patterns from the thread companies, which notoriously withheld designer's names to keep them from gaining popularity and selling their patterns directly themselves to the magazines. It was a shameful practice and every single one of them did it at least to some extent. Norma Benporath avoided that enforced anonymity by coming to the attention of the editor of The Home Beautiful at a party one of Norma's tablecloths was on display at. She was approached directly, and was already popular before being approached by SEMCO to design for them.
HOW TO MAKE THIS MAGAZINE CATALOG SEARCHABLE:
METHOD ONE(downside is it takes some effort and time):
1. Open a blank page in your favorite word processing program.
2. Right click and "SELECT ALL"
3. Right click and "COPY"
4. "PASTE" or CTRL"V" what you copied into the blank page(it could take a while depending on the size of the page)
5. Use the search function as you normally would. Try to stick to only one word, since authors will sometimes use their middle initial, then not, change names, etc.
6. Trash the blank page when you're done.
METHOD TWO(downside is you have to wade through a lot of HTML code to read the entries):
1. Right click and "VIEW SOURCE". This will bring up a second window that will give you a behind-the-stage look at my coding along with the entries. There is a search function on source pages.
Use it as you would the search function for a word processor(see METHOD 1). Close the Source page when you're done.
