Before darning netting, wash it perfectly clean, stiffen it by dipping it into a little gum-water, and pin it out on a pillow, in the proper form, to dry. Then darn it with embroidery cotton, every square of the pattern being closely filled up.
SHORT PURSE, IN NETTING.
As the following specimen is done only in the ordinary netting stitch, we do not think any particular explanation of the art of netting can be needed by our readers, it being so universally known. Indeed, it would be extremely difficult to teach the stitch by writing. Whenever any stitch, except that used in common netting, may occur in any of the following designs, we will endeavour to explain it as clearly as possible.
MATERIALS..—Very fine crimson netting silk, and gold thread. Two steel meshes are required, one about No. 15, and one No. 11. Eagle card-board gauge.
