Don't use an axe to embroider

The body pays for a slip of the foot, and gold pays for a slip of the tongue

Fear to let fall a drop and you will spill a lot

He that can see a louse as far away as China is unconscious of an elephant on his nose

Concentrate, don't embroider.

Another way to save a favorite garment that has a set-in stain is to embroider over it.
