| | double-sided embroidery | Explanation:
I found the same reference as Sueaberwoman, so propose "double-sided embroidery" as a possiblity: it gets plenty of hits, but it does seem to refer mostly to Chinese-style embroidery, and on silk. Which may or may not be the vintage style your text is referring to.... |

| Reference: broderie « à deux endroits » ou broderie « passée »
Reference information:
Voici les termes qui, au dix-huitième siècle, désignaient les genres de broderie les plus usités :
• broderie « à deux endroits » ou broderie « passée », travail qui produisait un dessin exactement semblable sur les deux faces de l'étoffe ;
• broderie « appliquée », exécutée sur de la grosse toile, que l'on découpait ensuite pour la coudre sur une autre étoffe ;
• broderie « en couchure » ou broderie d'or et d'argent : les mêmes matières servaient aussi à la broderie « en guipure » ; mais, pour exécuter celle-ci, on commençait par dessiner sur l'étoffe même, puis on découpait du vélin en suivant les formes du dessin, et l'on cousait ensuite par-dessus l'or avec de la soie.
• broderie « plate », garnie de paillettes, et broderie en chenilles de soie, usitée surtout pour les ornements sacerdotaux.
