Figs. 47 a, b and c clearly illustrate the opera- ; J tion. As shown by Fig.47 a, the wool is inserted in the slot of the foot, and the thread end allowed to project over the rear edge of the fuut by about Vtinch. Now span the hole with wool as shown in Fig, b. Start at the left hand top corner of the damaged area and stretch wool L.. sideways, i. e. from left to right and vice-versa, run by run, by shifting the fabric accordingly. At the end of each ran a zigzag 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 be taken not to place the individual zigzag runs too closely together. 72 Applique Work (N,one , Pt pwrtion for left-hand stitch) 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 under side of the material. The fabric from which the designs are cut should be of a pleasant contrast. colour. Cut piece slightly larger than required and baste on the right side of the material. Then sew a narrow (1 •11/2 ) zigzag stitch row (not too short) along the shapes. The sewing thread should be of the same colour as the fabric applied. Then remove basting and trim along sewing line on right side. Now finish work by sewing a wider (2112), short zigzag line over the edges of the cut-out on the right side of the material. Fig. 48

As
shown
by
Fig.47
a,
the
wool
is
inserted
in
the

of
the
foot,
and
the
thread
end
allowed
to
project
over
the
rear
edge
of
the
fuut
by
about
Vtinch.
Now
span
the
hole
with
wool
as
shown
in
Fig,

Start
at
the
left

of
the
damaged

and
stretch
wool

run,
by
shifting
the

accordingly.
At
the
end
of
each
ran
a
zigzag
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
be
taken
not
to
place
the
individual
zigzag
runs
too

An

is
obtained
by
sewing

is
employed
mainly
on

First
draw
the
