Then take the ruching and fasten the pleated ends atpoint C as shown in Fig. 6. ilu- i)in must be driven in very securely, as the ruchinghas to be handled later, and if the pin pulls out all the work will have to be done overagain. Now take the two open ends (the raw edges of the silk) and pin together to thestand as close as possible to point C. This prevents the raw edges of the silk fromshowing. The rosette is then «pcncd. This is done by pulling apart the folds and forming ^ffM. 7 them in two regular circles with one in front of the other. Willi a little arrangement thefolds can be made to take the form of a rose. .\ little experimenting will enable thetrimmer to get some very pretty effects with this rosette. ill narrower goods, such as challis, tlanncls, etc., itiner. as these goods are not wide enough to cover aii of the goods.

Then the goods are brought down to form the right handforward sweep and the end is finally carried around to make the >weep at the back onthe right hand side.
