Excerpt from School Needlework: A Book Written for the Beginner of Any Age and in Any School
No attempt is made to offer a course in clothing. It is assumed that the course for the school is prescribed with the desired emphasis on selection, cost, and suitability of clothing. Much help has been given in recent publications to both teacher and pupil along these lines. This book has a different purpose. Wherever sewing is taught, the stitches and processes of construction are naturally an important part of the work. The beginner is not conscious of the importance of establishing the right habits of work from the start; but standard, accuracy, and speed all depend on knowing what to do and the simplest way of doing it. The experienced worker often forgets the many stages through which the beginner must pass in the learning process and the help that is needed along the way. It is with these details for the beginner, in whatever school she may be, that this book has always been concerned.
