What reading level is The American System of Dressmaking book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In sponging material of double width let it remain folded during the process, with the right side turned in.
Page Four If the material is very heavy it may be turned to the other side and the sponging repeated.
Some of the thin weaves of woolen fabrics cannot be shrunken, for the steam sometiems shrivels and over-shrinks them. Experiment first with a small piece of the material, and if water cannot be used, press with a moderately warm iron.
To prevent the seam edges from being printed on the r...ight side when pressing them, lay the open seam along the curved edge of an ordinary ironing-board and press care- fully. The shine that sometimes comes in pressing may be removed by placing two cloths over the shiny place. The one next to the material should be dry, and the second one wet, but wrung out as dry as possible. Press lightly with a hot iron.
Most woolen materials have a nap or pile. This is caused by the ends of the fibers which form the yarn pro- truding from the fabric. As these ends do not stand straight out, but lie on the slant and lap over each other, two pieces of goods sewed together must have the nap running the same way, or they will have a different sheen or color and look like two different pieces of material.
