Here's the term in context:

“They’re SLIPS, embroidery Slips,” I explained, taking the book back from him. “Simple patterns for girls to follow in their needlework—” I mimed the act. “To decorate their dresses, or things for the home—bed-hangings, tablecloths, that sort of thing. English women spent a lot of time on this art through the ages.

gráficos de bordado

slip, slip of paper (a small sheet of paper)
"a receipt slip"

Suponho que "slip" refira-se ao esboço do bordado, os gráficos propriamente ditos.
Peer comment(s):

agree felidaevampire : "Gráficos" ou "esquemas". (Faltou um sorriso: :).) :) :) :)
