How to darn correctly.
Make the turning points of each row blunt or the
stitching will draw little holes at the ends_ Beginners
may prefer the L or M movement.
Take care not to get circles.
The quick mastering of this work depends on proper
guiding.
Therefore:
- Hold the hoop correctly.
- Always work from left to right,
-- Move work lengthways {not sideways).
