Patterns And Machines

Hand Work Easier For Beginners

One thing that is taken for granted in making dresses from paper pat- torns is the use of the machine. Now the machine does not really work by itself. It is an art to work

a machine properly, to attend, abova all, to the tension and to do it so that there are no drags or puckers and 40 that a pin-tuck in of a marvellous evenness throughout its career. Ma- chines, further, are supposed to do the work more quickly." This is also not always the case, for setting the work, tacking it sufficiently for ma- chining, usually takes for more time than any making. The person who has not learnt to be really expert with the machine would often find it. easier and more satisfactory to make

a dress by hand.

In any case, where a machine is! used, this should be used primarily for long seams and for securing the sleeves when these have been well tacked. Turning corners, doing complicated portions of the work, lo done more safely by hand. Even with straightforward seams the tension must be exactly right if the dress is afterwards to hang as it should. Paper patterns require a good deal of room. They should have a machine on one hand and Ironing board on the other. And alli work should be pressed as it proceeds and not long after. Most patterns, ara foolproof nowadays, but machining, setting, and pressing are matters which only the individual can do properly. And it is upon these that success really depends.
