Whipped
ruffle
1. Hem the lower edge of ruffles, and overhand lace on the hem.
2. Roll the upper edge of the muslin to the right side of goods, as you have rolled paper edges. Do not fold it. Practice rolling paper if the muslin seems difficult to manage.
3. With a No. 6 needle, and No. 40 cotton, overcast the rolled edge, taking the stitches no deeper than the roll.
4. Draw ruffle up to size needed.
5. Fell the two ends of each ruffle together; and overhand the ruffles to the legs of the drawers, sewing into each “whipping” or overcasting stitch as nearly as possible.
NOTE.—Fine goods whip more easily than coarse.
