The dictionary of needlework : an encyclopaedia of artistic, plain, and fancy needlework dealing fully with the details of all the stitches employed, the method of working, the materials used, the meaning of technical terms, and, where necessary, tracing the origin and history of the various works described . long to the Hanging bobbins theywere, of necessity, twisted over each other. This is imma-terial at the commencement, but each bobbin must now haveits own place, and every twist will be a defect. In puttingdown a pillow the bobbins run together, and becometwisted, and half a beginners time is taken up in dis-entangling them. It is a tiresome process, but it has itsuses, as it gives facility in handling, and accustoms theeye to detect wrongful twists. In the 2nd row the bobbinsmust be numbered from right to left, 4 and 3, 2 and 1, thelatter being the active pair. The stitch is apparentlyreversed, but the theory is the same. There are two pairsof bobbins used, a right and a left-hand pair; the middleleft-hand bobbin is always put over the middle right-handone; each of the latter pair is put over the one nearest to it,and the middle left-hand again over the middle right-handone. In working from left to right the Runners begin andend the stitch, in returning, the Hangers begin and end Fig. 146. Close Leaf-Finished.
