pins, eliminating much of the need
for basting.
1t is suggested that a fine
machine needle and fine thread
be used for mending fine fabrics,
larger needle and coarser thread
for heavy duty fabrics. Fabrics
woven of two tones of yarn, such
as tweeds, may be mended almost
invisibly by using the dominating
color of the fabric in the needle
the secondary color in the bobbin.
Good mending habits will pro-
long the life of any article,
whether it's made of damaSk or
denim, and, like all aspects of
home sewing, will prove an eff
fective budget stretcher.

The old darning needle may be-
come a museum piece soon.
Today's smart homemakers are
learning that most of the. family
mending can be done on the new
electric sewing machines which
are equipped to do anything from
darning a sock to overcasting a
seam by the simple turn of a dial.
The modern way of mending is
explained by sewing center ex,.
perts, who offer the following tips
on how to speed up your mending
chores and get full use from your
sewing machine:
The most important point is to
get at your mending while the
hole is still small. In this day
Of mechanical sewing the old
adage still holds true: "A stitch
in time saves nine"
If possible, try to have your
sewing machine set up near you
ironing board. AS you do your
ironing, put aside in. separate
pile the sheets with small tears,
the dresses with ripped seams,
the socks with holes in the heels.
Then, before you put clean clothes
away, attend to the mending.
Keep a supply of bobbins handy,
with different colors of thread, so
you won't have to waste time re-
threading them.
The most irritating task in
most households is darning socks
and women everywhere are de-
lighted by the new attachment
which makes it possible to darn
socks on the sewing machine.
This attachment features frame
which holds the main part of the
sock neatly rolled and permits
a flat surface to be placed under
the needle. Then you proceed as
in flat darning, Quilting the
hole with a line of stitching and
neatly filling in the outline by
stitching back and forth over the
hole.
For flat darning, as in sheets
or shirts, an embroidery hoop is
indispensable. 1t keeps . the torn
area flat and permits neat
mending job.
II you are mending bias tear,
stitch over tissue paper to pre-
vent stretching. Most women pin
or paste the paper to the fabric,
and tear it away after the rip is
mended.
For mending a straight tear,
the zigzag attachment on your
machine is useful. It's even
easier with one of the new swing
needle machines, which can make
a darning job into a decorative
feature. If little Mary tears her
new dress, you can use a fancy
embroidery stitch to mend it, and
repeat the design elsewhere on
the garment.
Any mother of young children
Is acquainted with the patching
problem. Neatest trick in the
sewing basket is to make dec
orative repairs with the new iron
ON patches. Sewing center experts
recommend that you zigzag
stitch around the edges of the
catches to make them doubly
secure. as well as providing de-
eseativs finish.
