The needle is put back into the material in the same place, from which itcame out. One stitch is taken directly belowthe other (toward the worker) and the thread iscaught under the needle with each stitch. (Inthis way it resembles both the feather-stitch andthe blanket-stitch.)

Suggestion.—The stitch may be utilized in •cv„ At n^.^r ( bags, underclothing and face cloths, where a let-ter can be drawn and the chain stitch used for outlining it. Cotton in fastcolors should be used for this marking, and the stitch should be made HERRING-BONE 103 No. 45. HERRING-BONE. MATERIALS FOR PRACTICE. Flannel, Silk A. Needle, No. 9. 5^x2% Inches (two pieces). Cotton, No. 60. Application.—On flannel skirts, a flannel patch or as —(1) To hold down hems, seams and raw edges in flannel and otherwoolen materials, so that they may felt when washed and thus not ravel.(2) A means of lightly holding down materials of all kinds in place of hem-ming. (3) An ornamental stitch. Fitness.—Material made of wool is apt to shrink in washing. Ordinarystitches are unnecessarily strong and when used on wool would cause thematerial to draw after washing. The looseness of the herring-bone, combinedwith the natural felting of the flannel, makes the stitch a serviceable one forwoolen fabrics. The attractive form, easily adapted to various positions,makes this stitch also useful as an ornamental finish. Kile for Herring-Bone.—The herring-bone (also called eatch-stiteh)is worked from left to right, or away from the worker.
