HINTS ON HOW TO DARN.
viii Be Found Very Helpful to the
Busy Housewife.

The darning OF narrow lace edge.
is most difficult matter.
II the tear is serious one the
edges Of the lace can be basted upon
the selvages of the muslin and placed
in the embroidery hoop.
Care must be taken not to sew into
the muslin.
If the edge is destroyed entirely or
in part, the lace may be basted upon
white letter paper, and stitched sever
al times to form a new edge and
cross-threads stitched to hold this
edge in place. then the paper pulled
away and the remaining stitches put
in on the machine or by hand.
Hamburg edgings and insertions can
be darned in the same way. They
should preferably be free of starch
and smoothly ironed to facilitate per-
feet work.
White mosquito netting that has
been washed will be found to give a
good foundation for darning coarsely
woven underwear on the machine and
soft black mosquito netting should be
basted under the holes in the knees
OF boys stockings.
1t should be basted directly across
the hole and the machine darning be
done directly upon it, The rough
edges and threads can afterward be
trimmed away.
When you are through darning upon
the machine, do not forget to replace
the pressure on the pressure foot and
the stitch action to the feed, other
wise you may be much puzzled the
next time you go to the machine and
wonder why it won't make a stitch"
