PRELIMINARY INFORMATION

If you sew in your living room or bedroom, spread out a piece of table oilcloth and place the sewing machine on this. After you are through sewing it is an easy matter to push the machine off the oilcloth, gather up the oilcloth and slide the threads and bits into the waste paper basket.

HOW TO STUDY

Read Lesson I through three or four times.

Study just one of the subjects at a time.

After you have read one subject through several times, run over it in your mind and see if there are any points on which you are in doubt. Read it through again, keeping in mind the points on which you want information.

After you are through studying Lesson I, give yourself a little examination. You know you would have to write out an examination paper if you were studying in a class. There are a list of test questions below.

Write down your answers and compare them with the information in Lesson I
