When laying rag carpet tack one
edge down to the floor. Get narrow
piece of plank three or four inches
wide and seven or eight feet long;
drive three or four nails through one
end. Catch the nail points near the
edge of the carpet and push it to the
right place, and tack. This will help
in stretching.

Saving time on seams. In making
garments where the raw seam would
be unsightly, try sewing it up in the

done than French telling and saves
