DRAWN-THREAD WORK
Linen table-mats, duchess sets, traycloths, and teacloths of drawn-thread work usually seem a little shrunken in the drawn parts when still damp after washing. In order to iron them out evenly without stretching or damaging the work, it is best to lay tho articles on a piece of folded blanket or soft turkish towelling, and press them firmly on the wrong side. Tlie drawn parts should be ironed first. The soft pad underneath allows the work to sink in, so that it is straightened out and given a nicely raised finish without being stretched or worn by the pressure of the iron. The plain parts should bo smoothed over afterward on the right side.
