Goodwin's Course in Sewing, Vol. 1: Practical Instruction in Needlework for Use in Schools and at Home (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Goodwin's Course in Sewing, Vol. 1: Practical Instruction in Needlework for Use in Schools and at Home
If it be desirable to omit any portion of the work or shorten the course on account of previous training or lack of time allotted for the work, selection may be made from the articles given embodying the principles of plain sewing that will be necessary in proceeding with the work of the second book.
From the beginning pupils should assume correct position for the work, sitting erect with the base of the spine well back against the chair or seat, bending at the hips, not at the waist or shoulders. The arms should not rest upon the desk or table, and the work should be held at a point easily visible, but not close to the body, which necessitates a sharp bend of the neck to focus the eyes upon it. Occasional rest with an exercise in chest expansion should be practiced during the sewing lesson.
Scissors properly sharpened should always be provided, and the practice of biting threads should never be allowed, both because it soils the work and may injure the teeth irreparably.
Needles must be straight and sharp and of suitable size for the fabric and thread employed.
Thread should be no longer than the arm of the pupil, that it may be drawn comfortably with one outward motion.
