slot of the foot, and the thread end
. allowud to project over the rear edge of the foot
i by about •/- inch. Now span the hole with wool

L ' j corner of the damaged area and stretch wool
sideways, I. e. from left to right and vice-versa,
run by run, by shifting the fabric accordingly.
.. , . 4. , . . , Al lhe end oi each run a zigzag stitch will
uck the wool to the fabric when direction of movement is changed. Make sure that
these runs are as close as possible, because later on no wool will be used. As soon as
the damaged area is entirely covered with wool, the wool thread is cut at the darning
foot Now fasten the wool rows with zigzag stitches across them as shown in Fig c
by shifting fabric forward and backward. Zigzag stitch is employed to ensure that the
mend remains elastic, and care should be taken not to place the individual zigzag runs
too closely together.

An attractive decorative effect is obtained by sewing
cut-outs of materials of different colours or tulle to the
cloth. Applique work is employed mainly on collars,
ladies' and children's di esses, linen, and the like.
The buttonhole presser foot is advantageously employed
for this type of work.
First draw the shapes to the under side of the ma¬
terial. The fabric from which the designs are cut should
be of a pleasant contrast colour. Cut piece slightly larger
Ilian required and baste on the right side of the material.
Then sew a narrow (t -l'/s) zigzag stitch row (not too
short) along the shapes. The sewing thread should be
of the same colour as the fabric applied. Then remove
basting and trim along sewing line on right side. Now
finish work by sewing a wider (2'It), short zigzag line
over the edges of the cut-out on the right side of the
material.
