1836.
French
Stitch.
The
other
stitch
is
termed
French
stitch;
the
only
difference
being,
that
instead
of
allowing
the
cotton
to
fall
towards
you,
and
passing
the
shuttle
downwards,
the
cotton
is
thrown
in
a
loop
over
the
left
hand,
and
the
shuttle
passed
under
the
thread
between
the
first
and
second
fingers
upwards.
The
knot
must
be
invariably
formed
by
the
thread
which
passes
round
the
fingers
of
the
left
hand.
If
the
operation
is
reversed,
and
the
knot
formed
by
the
cotton
connected
with
the
shuttle,
the
loop
will
not
draw
up.
This
is
occasioned
by
letting
the
cotton
from
the
shuttle
hang
loosely
instead
of
drawing
it
out
and
holding
it
tightly
stretched.
When
any
given
number
of
these
double
stitches
are
done,
and
drawn
closely
together,
the
stitches
are
held
between
the
first
finger
and
thumb,
and
the
other
fingers
are
withdrawn
from
the
circle
of
cotton,
which
is
gradually
diminished
by
drawing
out
the
shuttle
until
the
loop
of
tatting
is
nearly
or
entirely
closed.
The
tatted
loops
should
be
quite
close
to
each
other,
unless
directions
to
the
contrary
are
given.
1837.
Ornamental
Edging.
The
pin
is
used
in
making
an
ornamental
edge,
something
like
purl
edging,
thus:--Slip
the
ring
on
the
left-hand
thumb,
that
the
pin
attached
may
be
ready
for
use.
After
making
the
required
number
of
double
stitches,
twist
the
pin
in
the
circle
of
cotton,
and
hold
it
between
the
forefinger
and
thumb,
whilst
making
more
double
stitches;
repeat.
The
little
loops
thus
formed
are
termed
picots.
