All punch work must be done in hoopsand care should be taken that the threads lie straight and that the hoops fit snug Starting at the left-hand side, fasten fast-en your thread securely on the under side of the linen, and bring the needle up through the first dot of the second row Put your needle into the first dot of the first row, and bring it up through the first dot in the second row. Now insert the needle into the first dot of the first row again and bring the thread across diagonally to the second dot of the second row. Repeat in the same manner across the two rows of dots. The second row of work connects the second and third rows of dots, and is worked just the same When the entire space is worked in this direction, turn the work and take the stitches at right angles to those already worked, thus forming the four 6ides of each small square. This completes the punch work stitch, but one should practice first on some white material, as it is a very easy matter to draw the stitches unevenly, and thi6 will produce pro-duce a puckered effect outside of the punch work. A little wrinkle can ! scarcely be avoided, owing to the nature na-ture of the work The tighter the stitches are drawn the more open and lacy the result. When one has mastered this stitch, many and beautiful beauti-ful are the pieces on which it may be used. |
