Decorative Sewing
A
little
imagination and
bit
of
practice
are
all
you
need.
It
is
preferable
to
use
embroidery thread and choose matching
colours.
Stiffen
soft material by placing paper underneath it,
before sewing.

This edging is
obtained
by making the needle stitch
off
the
material
to
the
right, close
to
the
edge
of
the
folded
material.
Tray-cloths,
table
sets
and
table-cloths,
frills
on
blouses and
around openings
can
all be given
an
original touch
with
this
scalloped edge.

Braid is easy
to
put
on
and looks attractive
on
curtains, cushions
or
national
costume
blouses. Baste the braid in place.
Embroider
with
the satin
or
tricot
stitch down
the
middle and
the three-step
or
triple zigzag along each side.

Possibly reinforce the underside
with
paper,
which
will
be
torn
off
after the embroidery has been completed.
Start with the central design and continue by embroidering
alternately
to
the
left and right
of
the
first
embroidery.

Embroider the edge, placing a woollen thread
flat
under the foot,
in the
left
groove. Embroider, allowing the needle
to
stitch
off
the
material
to
the right,
near
the
edge. Make
the
stars
with
the
triple zigzag stitch. Make a few
trials
first,
on
an
extra
piece
of
material. The
stems
are
embroidered with
the
elastic triple
stitch.
Cross Stitch

The
cross
stitch is a pretty imitation
of
the
hand embroidery
stitch which
can
be used
to
enhance place-mats, napkins, and
curtains. Transparent, self-adhesive tape
can
be used as a guide-
line
for
straight decorative stitched lines.
