Fiifs. 47 a, b and c dually illustratt: tha opuiu-
tion. As shown by Pig,47 a, the wool is inaevled
in the slot of the foot, and the thread end
allowed to project over the rear edge of the foot
by ubcmt Vi inch. Now span the hole with wool
as shown in Fig. h. Start at the left hand top
corner of the damaged area and stretch wool
sideways, i. e. from left to right and vice-versa,
run by run, hy shifting the fabric accordingly.
At the end of each run a sigsag stitch will
tack the wool to the fabric when direction of movement is changed. Make sure that
these runs are as close as possible, because later on no wool will be used. As soon as
the damaged area is entirely covered with wool, the wool thread is cut at the darning
foot. Now fasten the wool rows with zigzag stitches across them as shown in Fig. c,
by shifting fabric forward and backward. Zigzag stitch is employed to ensure that the
mend remains elastic, and care should he taken not to place the individual zigzag runs
too closely together.

Applique Work
fuT U:ft-hand *titch)
An attractive decorative effect is obtained by sewing
cut-outs of materials of different colours or tulle to the
cloth. Applique work is employed mainly on collars,
ladies' and children's dresses, linen, and the like.
The buttonhole presser foot is advantageously employed
for this type of work.
First draw the shapes to the u n d e r s i d e of the ma­
terial. The fabric fruiu which the designs are cut should
be of a pleasant contrast colour. Cut piece slightly larger
tiiuu required and haste on the
r i g h t s i d e a t the material.
Tlien sew a narrow (l -lVs) zigzag stitch row (not too
short) along the shapes. The sewing thread should be
of the sumo colour as the fabric applied. Then remove
basting and trim along sewing line on right aide. Now
finish work by sewing a wider (2Vi), short zigzag line
over the edges of the cut-out on the right aide of the
material.
