Special needles are required for this work long and blunt, known as "filet embroidery needles" inside, in numbers num-bers 1 to 6. Darning Stitch. This stitch is the most used because it is simple. The stitch for covering a net ground is done over a prescribed pre-scribed number of squares, across which Uic thread is carried backwnrd and forward for-ward until they arc filled in (see Fig. 2). This is the stitch generally used when a pattern consisting of counted stitches, such as a cross stitch one, is to be reproduced repro-duced on a net ground. It is especially useful in the case of largo pieces such as curtains and bed covers, as it "throws up" the pattern and is quickly done. It may happen that you will have to change the direction of the darning stitch (sec? Jig. 3). f I wm$& mm m 0mmm I I W l lR! Miff! I ifefi j I fl .
