Overhand, oi^ set-in^ patch.
The overhand patch is less conspicuous, so it is used more
often for outer clothing. It is less serviceable, for it is joined
to the opening with only one seam, and the corners are held by
a single thread. It is made iu the following way:
(1) Cut a square or oblong piece large enough to cover completely the
worn place. (2 ) After matching tlie pat tern, crease from diiigonally opposite
corners in both garment and patch to obtain the centers. (3) Turn in
the edges of the patch }4 inch, on the wrong side of the material, turning
on the warp and woof threads. (4) Lay the wrong side of the patch to the
right aide of the garment with centers and figure.^ matched. (5) Bmte

distance from one corner, overliand the (?dge of the patch to the garment
with eli>se, shallow overhanding stitches. Be very careful at the corners
not to take the stitches too deep, as thia will cause the cornera to be puck-
ered, or to catch in the two middle thicknesses* (7) Continue overhanding
