THE EFFECTIVENESS OF
THE DOT

~ OTIS. while the simplest, can also
be made one of the most effective
IL forms of embroidery. A few dots
put on by woman with an artistic eye
will often transform a plain waist into
quite an elaborate blouse.
1t is kind of embroidery, too, that
does not need to be specially designed;
any one can add dots in places where
they are going to tell. But remember
in doing it to be careful about the spac-
ing. Nothing is SO trying to a person
with a straight eye as to see a piece
of work scattered with dots at such
irregular intervals that they look as il
they had been thrown at the goods hit
or miss. You may think you have a
straight eye, but unless you are abso-
luteiy sure of it, take to a foot rule.
To work a dot well is not as easy cs
ficult to get them absolutely round and
all of the same saze
Be careful to have the undertaking
very smooth AS good a way as any
to pad dot, large or smaH, is to
follow the outline in chain stitch, mar
Work over this with a smooth satin
stitch. making the stitches horizontal
rather than perpendicular. BE sure that
the outer edge is kept very even.
1t is surprising what results can some
times be gained in a perfectly simple
way One of the new tailored shirt
waists, for instance, can be given quite
an air by finishing the box pleat and
the cuffs with one row of machine stitch
ing at the edge and another about half
an inch in, then filing the space with
large hand-embroidered dots about an
inch and a half or two inches apart.
Or there might be pin dots a quarter of
an inch apart. Have a rundown linen
collar finished with a border of dots 20
match those on the waist, and wear
with it pleated lingerie tie with a
broad band of dots across the end.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-04-14

Different FORMS especially in the more
difficult borders, require different kinds
of stitches, or, at least, variation In
stitch direction. Some even demand
quite elaborate color effects.
The simplest forms require IS rule
the buttonhole or the over-and-oVer
satin stitch. In working these, the stltch
should be taken at right angles TO the
scallop line; and the work must be con-
tinually turned in the hand to bring the
needle in position for the stitch.
All borders are more effective II well
padded For the broader ones three lay
ers of padding will not be too many; one
line will often be enough for small
scallop. This padding should be done
with ordinary darning cotton and can be
either nut in with an uneven darning
stitch between two rows of outline, or
the entire scallop may be chainstltched.
This latter method is both rapid and
smooth.
The covering stitches must have
buttonhole purl on all edges which are
to be cut out, but where a part OF the
scallop is drawn away from the border
proper as mere ornament, the buttonhol-
ing should cease the minute the outer
edge is left, and the work should be
continued with satin stitch.
Sometimes one is in doubt whether to
take the satin stitch over scroll in a
slanting or straight direction. This is
largely a matter of choice. Many OF
the best embroiderers, especially the
French ones, always slant their satin
stitch. but unless a worker is very ex-
perienced it is wiser to use the right
angled over-and-over work, as, unless
slant is kept always in the same direc-
ton, it has very poor effect.
When the scrolls or ornaments of
border are too wide to be covered by a
single satin stitch, they may be treated
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-04-14

The flowers may be treated in sew
eral different ways. They may be
lightly padded with darning cotton
and worked in satin stitch with an
eyelet centre, or the petals can be
done in the broderie angluise with a
solid centre or eyelet centre, as pre-
ferred. If the flowers are worked in
satin stitch. the dots can be pierced,
and vice versa. The whole pattern.
except the stems, may be done in the
eyelet embroidery. If desired. This
gives very pretty open effect, though
many PEOPLE are somewhat tired of
this work, preferring it in combina-
tion with satin stitch.
To do the petals in broderie an
glaise, run a thread of the cotton
around the outline, CT a lengthwise
slit from base to stem, turn back the
linen and work over and over. Be
gin at the lower right-h hand corner
and put the needle through the open
ing each time. Set tho stitches close
together and round the top carefully
to give good shape AS a rule, just
enough of the material is caught not
to pull out. but for heavy linen a
somewhat deeper stitch is permissible.
FOR THE FOLIAGE EFFECT
The foliage. unless eyelet work IS
used throughout. should be in satin
stitch. Do tho stemI either in a
twisted outline. very fine over and
over stitch, where little more than a
thread is taken p. or in cording
stitch
Ordinarily this embroidery is done
in white merceriZed cotton Of a very
fine quality, but ( is very effective on

or self-tones. pretty variation for a

are as open as possible. Many are seen
with shoulder caps; some have slashed
effect in the bodice, to show a guimpe
underneath and with puffed or kimono
sleeves; others are regular bretelles,
with little or no pretense to being
blouse.
Among the varied possibilities of the
oyerblouse, ii seems as if nothing could
quite equal in simplicity and refined
charm the unique design created for our
readers by Miss Boyle. BY being cut at
the sides a greater GOODNESS is insured,
for double thickness Is more trying
under the arms than anywhere else, as
most women know to their discomfort.
Yet the blouse-like effect of the lower
part removes all suggestion of suspend
ers, which, to say the least, have been
overdone
The conventionaIized primrose de-
sign which has been chosen for the
embroidery should also make a good
impression, as it is graceful. effective,
easily s5orked and adapted for use
on bingham, linen. pongee or rajah. 1t
is especially good on white linen. as
1t can thus be combined with sep

Certainly, so Ear as the all-pervasive-
ness of this style is concerned, 1t might

course, but, instead, it promises 10
enjoy greater favor than ever all

While this style has been charming as
developed in dressy cloth and SILK cos
tunes all last winter, it is specially
available for tub frOcks. linens paruc-
ularly. The lingerie blouse and linen

gance, even for formal occasions no
longer is SO regarded. 1t requires either
a bolero or jacket to make a compete

in several ways. Work from the outer
edge to the centre of the scroll. setting
the stitches very close and even on the
edge, but allowing them to spread
slightly on the inside, to make room for
another row. This row should be taken
from the centre out and so blended with
the other that the jointing is invisible.
A more common treatment is to button
hole the lower half of the scallop in long
and short stitches, and work the inner
line in outline or briarstitch.
The greatest care must be taken IN
cutting out a border. Never cut it UNI
til the centrepiece has been done up,
and then do not go too close to the purl.
Allow a little material to remain for
further shrinking in second washing.
1t is much easier to trim a few ravel-
ings than to repair scallop whose
stitches have been stripped. Some very
careful embroiderers, after the centre
piece has been done us and the scallops
cut out, go over the entire outer edge
with a second buttonhOle stitch just
wide enough to cover the purl This
makes firm, heavy edge, and abso-
lutely prevents fraying, but takes more
time than the average worker Is willing
to devote to a single piece of en-
broidery.
