Fancy Fagoting stitches

"To make the stitches shown in the illustration, baste the material, with edges about one-eighth of an inch apart, to a stiff paper.
The upper stitch is worked from the sewer. Place the needle in the goods at the left corner and cross, taking a stitch horizontally into the goods. When the needle is taken out run it under the last thread, twisting the threat as shown.
The lower stitch is made in the same manner until the end of the work is reached, when the work is reversed and a single feather stitch is worked over the two twisted threads. The feather stitching should be kept even, the thread being drawn snugly, but not so closely as to pull the stitch out of shape.

Cuit the basting threads and the material is free from the paper and ready for yokes or collars or for whatever pattern has been designed."
