Handwork Construction e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. In some schools a teacher is able to prolong courses in basketry or knotting or weaving or embroidery thru many grades, employing that one subject in applied design thruout. In other schools a new subject is taken up each year, or again, handwork is used only by the art - teacher in the design courses, where only one, two or three problems occur each year and the greatest stress is laid upon the design and planing out of the work. I see no reason to quarrel with any of these 'methods; a great deal can be attained thru any one. In all cases, the teacher must consider the processes of development in construction, pattern-making and design. Every problem of handwork presented in any school should be reached by preparatory stages, and should itself be recognized as a definite stepping - stone toward a future subject.
