41.—French Hemming on Damask

For folding table linen or damask, fold and crease a very narrow hem, then fold the hem back on the right side, and overhand the edge thus folded. Press open on right side.

NOTE.—Or, run through the hemmer of the sewing machine, having the needle unthreaded, using a very fine stitch: proceed as above.

42.—Darning Stockings

1. In learning to darn, it is well to use a piece of flexible card board, three and one-half inches long by three inches wide.

2. With a large needle, puncture it three-quarters of an inch from the top, and three-quarters of an inch from the bottom, making holes one-eighth of an inch apart.
