PROTECTING EMBROIDERY
When large pieces of embroidery, such as afternoon tea cloths, are being worked the finished portions are liable to become rubbed and soiled before the whole design is completed. It is a good plan to protect them with cellulose wrapping. A sheet of this should be laid over each section as soon as it is finished and fastened in place with a tacking thread. In this way the work is kept fresh and clean, but it may be clearly seen through the cellulose. This is convenient if it is necessary to compare colours or to match silks.
