The old-fashioned rickrack or saw
tooth braid is again called into use for
fancy work, and the little saw-tooth
braid is used for making white field
daisies on colored denim. The corona
ton braid is employed in outline
stitches for stems and leaves. Because
the work can be so rapidly completed
and results are so dainty is one reason
for this work being so popular. The
daisies are easily made, since 1t is only
necessary to draw the points together
at one side and make the centre In
French knot stitches. The braid a be
ozerlapped many times, and will out
line a beautiful shaggy white chrysan-
.themum. There are many ways of
using the braid in fancy work. If dyed,
the colored flowers a be made. Col
ored coronation braid can be purchased
in leaf green shades for all kinds Of
leaf and stem work.
