MUCH DEPENDS ON NEEDLE

Successful Embroiderer Will Make Careful Selection and Have an Abundant Supply. Very frequently embroiderers have their nerves frazzled when the silk frays while they work with it. Not every person knows that this condition is due to the fact that the eye of the needle is too small for the number of silk that is being used. It is just as big a mistake, however, to select a needle having too large an eye. In such a case the work takes on the appearance of having too few stitches and- holes mark the edges of every stitch. I When embroidering a piece of work which requires shading, the sewer will find it very convenient to have a needle for each color used and use them in succession as each colot is required in het work. You will never find an experienced embroiderer confining herself to one needle where a number of colors have to be used alternately.
