Effective Use o BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. ‘There are numerous stitches used for embroidering patterns in outline, though but one goes by the especial name of outline stitch. This is the simplest and works up the fastest. but when variety is desired or when other stitches fulfil a purpose better, then they should be used One of the unusual outline stitches s called “snail's trail.” It is also known f Qutline Stitch always efther to the right or the left of the needle: and to work away from |you, Stitches should be quite short, |and taken on the line. | | Outline stitch is the reverse of back stitch for in the former the long stitch comes on the right side while in the latter the “long stitch come on the | wrong side. ‘The calculations for back | | stiteh followed in the finest cambric work done by our great-grandmothers was one thread of the weave back and | two forward. The ancient embroiderers often employed back stitch or chain | stiteh on the wrong side for outlining. | | The work was done on the wrong side | of the material by counted thread thus | forming an unbroken line of stitches | {on the right side. What we now call | outline stitch is not one of the very | {old stitches, but an easy adaptation of | | older ones. | | Stem stitch is similar to outline ex- | sept that each stitch is taken diagonally | across the line. The stitch may be one | or two threads wide and four or six | | threads long. Often stem stich is done | | over a padding of a few strands of soft | |cotton or a sir nd of the rn‘ll)l’nldm'_\'J m. It's name is derived from its cular adaptability - to stem em- | broidery. | S trail is a combination stitch | up of stem stitch and a knot Another name for it is couched stitch. outlined stitch for the knot stitch holds outline thread in much the that a strand of medium in s held down by stitches taken The stitch is worked from |down the | same wa | couct acre | right s it to left. With the thumb of the left hand hold the embroidery thread along the line. t the needle above the (hread and | it up below the thread. Draw the threaded needle so that the thread i: | taut, and an outline and a knot will | resuit. as the needle has actually passed | through a loop of the thread. Iu coarse | medium the knots can be as far apart as 1y inch. In fine work they should [be closer. The stitch works up fast, land is almost as easy as outline stitch. | It is used effectively on long lines, in- dicating edges inclosing bands of em- broidery. It should not be used for |etching embroidery, n which lines Ishould be fine and distinct as strokes |in etchings on metal. For rose stems it is excellent, as they have slight ir- | regularities and thorns. When cleaning knives add a little bicarbonate of soda to the cleaning powder. This helps to remove stains. | | My Neighbor Says: | | ENOTTED OUTLINE STITCH, SOME- 1 TIMES CALLED "SNAIL'S TEAL If the sink has been unused | | for a considerable length of time MENU FOR A DAY.
