In sewing on embroidered edging, place the edging on the right side of the garment along the edge with the right side of the edging next to the right side of the goods. Fig. (12) Embroidered edging stitched the first time Stitch along the edge. (See Fig. 12.) Cut off the raw edge of the garment to within one-eighth of an inch of the stitching. Then turn under the raw edge of the embroidered edging and turn it onto the wrong side of the goods. Stitch in place, as shown in Fig. 13.

Rose Trimming: The one thing to be desired in embroidery for underwear is daintiness. The work must be delicately wrought and in keeping with the fineness of the texture. Just a tiny wreath of roses here and there is a pretty way of dressing up the best chemise or nightie.
