Beaded Pins for velvet.

From the st. Louis Republic
As velvet will be much used this win
ter. it might be well to remark that any
pinning or basting on 1t should be most
carefully attended 20. otherwise marks
will be left that are difficult 20 remove.
When pins are necessary, only the round
glass-headed ones should be used, not
the common brass pin, with its sharp
trimmed head.
Blasting threads should never be drawn
tight, and when II is desired TO remove
them each stitch should be clipped and
the thread withdrawn. To pull basting
threads from velvet in the ordinary way
means a much married surface.
