To prevent this sew handles of ticking or webbing to the sides and you will be able to turn the mattress without straining the ticking. When one of the rosettes shows signs of coming off, it should be immediately stitched in position, for the stuffing win rapidly work out of place, and the mattress will lose its shape. New rosettes may be made out of old kid gloves and sewn on with* fine twine with a long upholsterer’s needle. By following these hints you will greatly prolong the life of your mattress. ’ ■ r ■
