TERMS AND DIRECTIONS.
A Loop, written L; 2 Loops, written 2 L, and so on.
Single stitches—Are formed in two ways: First, by letting the thread of the shuttle with which you are working fall over the back of the hand and pushing the shuttle from you. Secondly, by letting the thread of the shuttle with which you are working fall over the palm of the hand, and putting the shuttle through towards you. These two stitches worked together alternately make a Double stitch. But if the second be worked first and the first second, alternately, it makes a Reversed Double. This is used for the purpose of making all the work have a right and wrong side.
2 Threads—When 2 threads are used, twist the one with which the stitches are to be made round the little finger, and proceed as above.
Double stitch, written D; 2 Double stitches, written 2 D, &c.
Reversed Double stitch, written R D; 2 Reversed Double stitches, written 2 R D, &c.
Loops—Are made by putting the thread with which double stitches are made over a pin, and there must be one or more Double stitches between each loop. By holding the pin point towards the right hand, between the forefinger and thumb of the left, the thread can be lifted over by the 2nd finger of the right hand, and many loops made without removing it. With reversed double stitches, the thread is lifted over by the shuttle as the 2nd stitch is being made. Loops can also be made by putting the shuttle thread over the pin.
Ovals—Form the cotton of the shuttle you are directed to work with into a loop round the hand, and begin working the stitches. If composed of double stitches only (with perhaps one loop in the centre), it is called a plain oval. If of several loops, a looped oval.
A Join—Is always made by drawing the thread with which the stitches are worked through the specified loop or space, and passing the shuttle through the loop formed by the thread thus drawn through, making it equal in length to an ordinary loop.
