About this book
The sewing instructions explain how to make small, even over-handing stitches through both pieces of material while holding the work between thumb and first finger. The text explains that correctly followed instructions leave the material flat, whereas stitches made too deep produce a seam on the wrong side. The directions for hemming kitchen towels begin by checking that the edge is straight and pulling out a thread to mark a cutting line if necessary.
The ornamental sewing directions describe making blocks of floss over threads of the material and arranging groups of blocks to complete a square. The knitting instructions include sleeves worked with steel needles, plain knitting, and alternating plain and purl stitches.
