How to darn correctly
Make the turmng points of each row btunt
or the stitching will draw littJe holes at the
ends. Beginners may prefer the L or M
movement.
Take care not to get circles.
The quick mastering of this work depends
on regular guiding.
Therefore:
-- Hold the hoop correctly.
-- Always work from teft to right
(as when writing).
-- Move work lengthways (not sideways)
for selvedge and wettway.
