In darning darnask n square OF card
board IL basted on the right side OF the
cloth and the darning is done on the
wrong side. The worn edges OF the
hole should not be cut away, thus
making q square or round darned
patch; instead. the jagged edges are
left and the needle woven skilfully In
and out until the space Is filed. Start
this mending one-half inch outside the
hole and continue until the rent IL en-
tlrely surrounded. These stitches
must be taken 30 they will not show
on the right side, and the needle
should be passed through the raised
pattern Of the damaslr, taking up the
threads as though one were darning,
and IN working back those left are
taken up. and 80 on, Just as one would
darn. This strengthens the linen
around the hole and prevents the
darned hole from tearing away, as Is
always the case when 1t IL not rein
forced, thus making the last state
worse than the irst.
The holes that come from ordinary

but accidents will happen and jagged
tears and clean knife cuts are sure to
appear some time. These require q
different treatment.
II the knife cut Is discovered before
II goes to the laundry the trouble OF
repairing ia lessened. for all that is
necessary then is to draw the edges
together on the right side. haste a
strip Of cardboard over the rent and
darn neatly on the wrong side, rs di.
rected above. In this case the rein
forcing previously described may be
dispensed with, as the linen will not
be thin on the edges Of the cut as II
always is around the edges of a hole.
OF course. one must go outside Of the
cut sufficiently far to give the neces-
sary strength. but the aim in this
work is to conceal the darn. When
complete. cut away the stitches on the
right side that were used to draw the
edges together.
Surprising such a rent has not been
discovered until after the linen has
been laundered. then the simple darn

the cut and at the back hem down

This should entirely surround the slit

tape 10 used. When possible do the
darning first and apply the tape after

very open the better way is to sew
the tape at the back and darn down u
