Again I want to remind you how to study, which is so important for you to gain the full benefit of these lessons. Read one subject at a time. Read it over carefully at least once more, perhaps several times. Then lay aside the book and review the subject in your mind to see if you understand it clearly. If there is anything which seems vague or puzzles you, look up that point and again review the subject without the book.

Here are some test questions to enable you to see what progress you are making in your study. Go over them carefully and write out the answers to each one and then compare your written answers with the book to see if they are correct.

How much seam allowance do you plan when an edge is to be bound?

Is it necessary to finish an edge before putting on rickrack braid?

How do you make a waistline apron hang smoothly?

How do you allow for a piecing in laying the pattern on the goods?
