There is all the difference in the world between the amateur's and the dressmaker's hemming stitch. The amateur too often insists on atitching her frocks as though making lingerie, In consequence her stitches are too tight and per- fect, drawing attention to them- selves and spolling the effect of the garment. The dressmaker's hem is another affair and requires a different method,

When dressmakers are working, Instead of holding the work in the usual way, they wear a clean apron and then fasten the article by pins to their skirts. This makes the garment much easier to manage, and the work is through in half the time.

When about to, hem a serge or tweed frock, the hem should be turned up by means of a lenuth of sarcenet. First machine the length to the raw edge and then hem it with dress-maker's hem- stitch.

Satin is a difficult material to hem, for if it is turned, up in the ordinary way the double fold makes an ugly ridge. The best way to treat a satin hem is to follow the method for serge, though georgette or crepe-de-chine should be substituted for sarcenet.
