The "Stay-Lines" help keep the design in place.

The Singercraft Fagoter produces fagoting, lace-like bandings, edgings, braid and lattice trim in great variety, combining the fascination and art of handwork with the speed and accuracy of machine production.

Neither special skill nor tedious practice is needed in order to produce quickly and easily perfect fagoting this new way. Just weave on the materials of your choice and stitch. And by slight variations in these fundamental operations, a surprisingly wide range of effects is obtainable. The character of the work produced depends upon the weave, colors and materials chosen.

Fagoting is always recognized as a mark of distinction and good taste, whether it be applied to fashions or home furnishings, and now that the Singercraft Fagoter insures accurate results, there is no end to the smart and original expression possible in ed and table linens, curtains and pillows, millinery, dresses, accessories, lingerie and children's clothes.

MATERIALS: All cords, whether cotton, mercerized, linen, rayon or silk, are suitable for this design-forming medium. Wool, raffia, boucle or guimpe yarns may also be employed. The size of cord or yarn used for the stay lines should not be finer than size 3 in cotton, rayon and linen cords because these most fit into the groove of the Fagoter Foot, provided for this purpose, to keep the fagoting even and strong. The stay lines set as a further guide when applying or inserting the fagoting on or into the article under construction, insuring accurately spaced seams and a smooth under finish.

COLORS: the colors chosen may be matching, contrasting or combined, depending on personal taste and the nature of the article being made.

WEAVES: The Figure 8 and the Ladder Weave are most commonly used. All other weaves are developed from these two. The number of prongs covered or skipped, the slant of the weave and the combination of weaves afford great variety of design.

STAY LINES: These are the two cords which hold together the weave of the design. A small stitch, approximately 15 to the inch, should be used to insure strength.
