MiteredLace 136 THE. NEW DRESSMAKER row horn covering the line of the basting. Stitch the insertion close to the edges fromthe right side, and at the same time catching through the material of the hem. TO MITER LACE—The lace shouldbe cut between the cords, not acrossthem. Overhand the edges to-gether, putting the needle back thedepth of two cords. Illustration 316shows the figures cut around the edge,lapped and hemmed around the figureon each side.

(lU. 317.). on a Curve JOINING ROWS OF LACE TO FIT A CURVE—A shaped piece made of rows ofinsertion joined together is made over a piece of stiff paper. Cut a piece of stiff paper thecorrect size and shape of the collar, yoke, etc., that you are making, and baste the rows ofinsertion to the paper so that the edges of the rows just meet. (111. 318.) Begin with thelongest row of insertion and baste the longest edge of that row to the paper with theright side down. Draw the pull-thread at the shorter edge of the same row to draw it intoa curve. If you are careful in distributing the fulness evenly, most of it can be pressed outunless the curve is very great. Whip the edges of the rows together and press them beforeremoving them from the paper. (111. 318.) TO INSERT LACE MEDALLIONS, baste them to the material and stitch them bymachine as close to the edge as possible. Cut out the material from under the lace, leaving a narrow seams width at each side.(lU. 319.)
