In Cutting Doilies

The quickest and easiest way to make plate doilies is: Measure doily with a plate, marking around the outside with a lead pencil. Then sew around the pencil mark three times with the smallest stitch on the sewing-machine. Cut off just outside the stitching, then begin to crochet. This does away with a bulky and difficult hem.-Mrs. C. H. W., San Ardo, Calif.
