To Take Up a Sewing
To perform this delicate operation a needle-pin is required; this needle-pin is a fine long needle placed in a wooden handle. The real Devonshire needle-pin is said to be a No. 8 needle stuck in a lucifer-match.
With the needle-pin draw the thread through the edge of the lace, pass the nearest bobbin through the loop thus formed, tie, and work on as before.
