COMPLETE SEWING INSTRUCTIONS—THE RUSSELL WAY 45

Blind Stitching is used when it is necessary to put on facings, arrange plackets, etc., and it is undesirable that the stitches show on either side. This stitch is similar to the stitch used in hemming cottons and muslins, but stitches are neither so large nor so close together.

Insert the needle between the turn-under and the facing proper. Pull through and take a hemming stitch, but do not let the needle penetrate to the right side of the material; to prevent this, take up only a part of the woven thread. Again insert the needle between turn-over and facing and proceed as shown in illustration.

This stitch is used in silks, satins, light and heavy weight woolens and velvets. - ■ - s , -

Catch Stitch —This stitch is used in seam finishings on flannel and is used to stay linings, etc. The work is done from left to right, or

away from you. The stitches are taken as one running stitch, one stitch at a time. The two rows may bo from one-fourth to one-half inch apart.

Fasten the thread, then insert needle through the material, with the point toward you. Take up one-eighth of an inch, pull needle through, cross to left and take a stitch one-eighth of an inch Lms;, cross to the right and proceed. The stitches should be correctly spaced so that your work has an even appearance. See illustration.
