Materials for Working [RISH crocties may be excented with any kind of inen oF cotton thread, but as it is a work that is practically everlasting, only. the best materials should be used. ‘The finest of steel erochet-hooks are reasired, some fine sewing-needies, a pait of ‘small, sharp, scissors, and a piece of cambric “foundation.” Before commencing a piece of ‘work ent a paper pattern of the exact size and shape the finished article is to be, place this on the back of your cambrie foundation and trace around the outer edge with a needle and white thread, making the stitebes long on the right side of the cambric. ‘Then work the border and baste to the cambrie pattern just inside the thread Bin. When you have succeeded in working enough ‘motifs to enable you to start the lace, sew them Strongly in their places, face downward on the Foundation, just as you would Sew braid pon a design intended for point lace, making it so. se- ‘care that the curves cannot be pulled out of shape in working the filling. It is best to use two or throe thicknesses of cambrie for the foundation. When removing the lace from the eambric pattern after it is complete and all loose stitches have ‘been securely fastened, itis always safer to ewt the Dasting threads at the back and not risk clipping the threads of the Ince. ‘The lace will pull away from the pattern quite easily, and then’ all loose threads should. be carefully picked away before it is pressed, When a piece of lace is complete it improves its appearance vastly to lay it face downwards wpon a very soft ironing bed, smooth fout each motif carefully, lay a wet piece of ew Tinen or lawn upon it, and press with a hot iron, ‘while still steaming lift up cloth and use the iron directly upon the lace. ‘This will give the work a crispness unattainable by any other method of pressing. Lace which has been rumpled in wear- ing may also be freshened in this way, and if eare- fally done will look equal to new.
