Excerpt from Steiger's Elementary Sewing Designs on Practice-Cloth: With Directions and Suggestions
Sewing being now generally recognized as an important factor in manual training and introduced into the public schools of most of our large cities, the want of efficient aids for primary classes has been keenly felt.
The mothers in our country, unlike those in Europe, rarely take the time and trouble to show their little ones how to use their hands, and only a small number of Kindergartens, which in a measure supply this want and teach the use of the needle, have thus far been established here. But even where they do exist, two years intervene between them and that grade in our public schools in which sewing is introduced. We, therefore, find a large proportion of children unable to control the muscles of their fingers, and most of them have such great difficulty in handling the needle that they are easily discouraged and consider it very tedious to acquire the accuracy necessary as a foundation for the work in higher grades.
