In the Sewing Room.

To do good sewing requires good materials, or working implements. Necessary implements include shears, needles, thimble, thread, pins, tape measure,, emery and beeswax. Shears with long sharp blades are best For young sewers the ground down, and medium length needle, is recommended. The milliner’s needle is long and Is considered excellent for basting. A bent or blunt needle can spoil an entire seam, making ft crooked and careless-looking. Much of the difficulty experienced by sewers can be traced to the use of too coarse needles, a fault resulting in uneven sewing no matter how much care is put into the stitches.
