DAISY COLLARETTE—BRANCHING FIBRES—HONITON GROUND. 41 which must each be twisted twelve or fourteen times. The work will look coarse at first, but will draw into place as the wing narrows. This next lesson will show the first and easiest method of putting raised centres to leaves, which is called the centre fibre. Hang on five pair at the stem, work up the middle of the first leaf; when you have stuck the last pin, work to the turning stitch and back, then with the pair lying at the pins, make a rope sewing, and this which is termed a return rope is made, not upon the stem, as in former instances, but at the back of it. Work the two next fibres in the same manner, the middle one last, and when you have finished each, run a pin to its head in the end hole and take out the rest. Now carry raised work to the tip of the middle leaf, hang on two pair, work back in whole stitch, and when you come acrossFig. 23.
