FINISHING OFF EMBROIDERY.

There are a number of ways to fin lsh off the cehtrepiece or runner, any One 6f Which will go just twice as quickly as the old time scalloping Perhaps the newest revival of an old lime finish Is frayifg the material. This can be done only, of course, on :. cloth with straight edges One of the best ways to keep the edge of the material from ffaying further than you have planned is, before you start to pull away your threads, to run a row of very fine machine stitching at ahe point where the fraying is to stop.
 When you have pulled your threads that far 1t will not show. and will act IS firm basis upon which to take a row of overcasting stitches for holding the rough edge of material from fray Ing. This is only necessary, however in material of loose Weaves. Tightly woven linens, dolly cloth and Indian head will hold their own without any stitching. Some materials will fray
 better than others.
 Another finish that is pretty and is suitable for a lunch cloth or centre piece is rolled hem overcast. This ran be used on straight or round edges Overcast twice, once in each direction Snd let the stitches cross like a cross stitch using different colors. Now tHTedu LnlrQ CoiOr through these witches, and you have a very decorat i've edge
 The Italian hem, which is really z line of punchWork above a hem les, than half inch in width, is particu lariy good for table runners, mats an( napkins. It would be hard to do on round edge because of the difficulty ii ] turning up the hem, though if it il l narrow enough it could be managed with patience. The best way to turi
 a narrow hem on a round piece is tl
 ruin a gathering thread around tn 1 sdge, turning the raw edge under a. 1 you gather. Pull this up and gathe in the surplus fullness when you hay turned your hem, basting and pressini
 it with hot iron before you slip stitcI
 1t in place. On a heavy material thi is apt to be bulky.
 Perhaps the easiest way to finish of
 a round centrepiece is to bind it wit tape to match fhe material, or in colo to match a tone in the embroidery These bound cehtrepieces are very ef
