[EVERY
ONE
BASTETH
THE
FAT
HOG,
WHILE
THE
LEAN
ONE
BURNETH.]
1914.
Tapestry
Stitch.
Tapestry
stitch
crosses
two
threads
of
the
canvas
in
the
length,
and
one
in
the
width.
It
is
sometimes
called
Gobelin
stitch,
because
it
resembles
somewhat
the
Gobelin
tapestry.
It
is
not
suited
for
coarse
canvas,
and,
in
working
from
a
Berlin
pattern,
two
straight
stitches
must
be
counted
as
one
square
cross
stitch.
1915.
German
Stitch.
German
stitch
is
worked
diagonally,
and
consists
of
the
first
part
of
a
cross
stitch,
and
a
tent
stitch
alternately
worked.
1916.
Irish
Stitch.
Irish
stitch
is
worked
parallel
with
the
selvedges
of
the
canvas.
None
of
the
stitches
cross
the
threads
in
the
width.
In
the
first
row,
take
the
thread
alternately
over
four
and
two
threads;
in
all
future
rows
take
the
stitches
over
four
threads,--which,
as
they
rise--first
from
the
long
and
then
from
the
short
stitch,
will
produce
the
same
appearance
in
others.
1917.
Handling
Wool.
With
regard
to
wools,
they
should
never
be
wound,
as
the
least
handling
crushes
the
pile
and
spoils
them.
Chenille
needs
still
more
careful
handling.
1918.
Stiffening
Work.
To
stiffen
large
pieces
of
work,
wet
the
wrong
side
thoroughly
with
gum
water
or
gum
tragacanth,
and
dry
it
before
a
fire
(the
wet
side
nearest
the
fire),
before
removing
it
from
the
frame.
1919.
Beads
in
Canvas
Work.
Beads
in
canvas
work
have
the
treble
merit
of
being
at
once
brilliant,
durable,
and
attractive.
1920.
