Smocking
Dear Aunt Daisy, I see in- this week’s Listener that a correspondent has been having trouble with "Smocking Dots." I have done a lot of smiocking, and when putting on the dots I always transfer them on the wrong side of the material. ~I then gather them up as usual, but instead of picking up at the dots, I pick up a piece between the dots, bringing the needle up at the dot. When it is all gathered up, I turn the material over, and work on the other side, and there is no chance of the transfer showing. Hoping this information is clear, and that it may be of interest to someone.
