case sheer goods must be employed.
! Both this type of work and the plain
quilting are light in quality and well
| adapted to warm weather Even the
| uadded Quilting can be used to adran-
| tage In bags and belts for personal use
/ and for cushions, etc. for Summer
/ decoration
The plain quilting is made of two
! thickneSses of goods and outlined, gen.
/ orally in running stitch, along the
marks of some pattern or on straight or
! curved rows in parallel or crossed lines
/ An account of how this work can be
/ done without pattern was described
/ last week
/ Padded Quilting is done IN the same
general way except that an interlining
f.. is used of another material which is
/ soft and thick enough TO make the
/ stitchery indented. This Is the sort
! found in quilts for beds. cushions etc
This third variety of quilting is the
| corded. In ancient work, which is like
indente6 etching IN fabric il is thought
that cords we're Sewed 10 the foundation
and over them the surface goods was
sewed with stitches each side of each
cord Another less intricate method is
followed today s;hich also was done in
olden times II is this style of work
that is delightfully."- adapted to Summer
apparel for trimming of frocks, for
hats. belts. etc.
Corded quilting is made by bastinp
lining OF very loosely woven goods
under a surface fabric. Each line in
the design is run with parallel rows of
stitches sufficiently far apart for
very soft cord TO be run between them
Sometimes instead of cord several
strands of embroidery cotton or wool
are used In this work the entire pat
tern stands out in bas relief
One of the most effective kinds of
quilting is done on material so sheer
that the color of the cord run under 1t
gives delicate tint to the work. Flow
ers in pastel tones can thus be nSde.
while the foliage is simmer OF green
The outline sutchery may be in the
same tone, in a contrasting color or
in black. The cord must be very bright
indeed for the color TO supply anv
tone. The stitchery should be done in
much more delicate hue. If not in
black, or ii will be garish as well as
not being in artistic harmony.
Nothing could be easier to do than
this corded quilting. Thread a bodkin
with the soft cord. Pierce the lining
with the tip and run the cord through
the tube between the running stitches.
snip the cord and tuck the end under
the goods. If the quilting is on some
thing that will be laundered frequently
take few stitches 10 secure the ends
OF the cord to the lining, but otherwise
these stitches are unnecessary as tho
cord Is not inclined to slip If 1t is the
right size to pad the tube we'll.
1t Is easy to see how well this quilting
can De adapted to Summer use since
the eoooS is so sheer and the color NAV

in black under white and the outlinino

Summer bags done in the regulation
