This luncheon set, illustrated on [back page], is made of one color which is the simplest type of work that can be done on the frame, yet the results are most pleasing. The set consists of a center piece, and four or six smaller pieces. The center piece is made with the frame adjusted to the shape shown in [Fig. 2]. The smaller pieces are made with the frame in the form shown in Figures [1] and [3]. [Figure 1] shows a frame partially wound with the thread lying in one direction. [Figure 2] shows a frame partially wound with the threads extending in two directions. [Figure 3] shows a frame completely wound with the threads extending in three different directions, and ready to be tied. [Figure 4] shows complete piece.
Throughout these instructions, the corner prongs are always designated as No. 1 prongs.
To commence the winding, the thread is first tied to No. 3 prong on side C, [Figure 1]. It is then extended to prong 3 on side A, [Figure 1]. The thread is wound back and forth on these prongs until there are twelve threads between the prongs. The thread is then wound in a similar manner around the next pair of prongs immediately above, and so on, until the third last set of prongs is reached. These threads will all lie parallel to each other, and to two sides of the frame.
The thread is then carried around the outside of the adjacent corner to the third prong from the corner. The thread is then wound around that prong to the corresponding prong on the opposite side. A similar number of threads are extended between each pair of prongs, so that the threads lie parallel to the second pair of sides of the frame.
The winding of the thread in the third position is similar, except that it is wound parallel with the third pair of sides of the frame. This results in the frame being wound in three directions with twelve threads extending between each pair of prongs in each direction.
