[30] In general it may be stated that the sabutan and tikug mats are
the strongest made in the Philippines. Neither the wearing qualities
of the straw nor the permanency of the dyes in buri mats are equal
to those of tikug. If tikug floor mats become dirty they may be
cleaned without injury if the dyeing was well done. They should be
shaken to remove dust and dirt, laid flat on the floor and lightly
scrubbed with a cloth, sponge or brush, using lukewarm soapsuds,
after which cold water should be thrown on them. They are dried by
hanging in the sunshine or the breeze.

[31] A firm has recently entered the field and is doing a mail order
business in these mats with the United States. Their plans include
the furnishing of straw and dyes to the weavers and the weaving of
standard designs.

[32] Most of the information given under this heading was taken from
reports by Percy M. Jones and Frank Thomason, formerly supervising
teachers of Bohol.

[33] Circular No. 82, s. 1911, Bureau of Education.

[34] Based on original designs by Mrs. Alice Brezina.

[35] Three units will take up about 3 times 17, or 51 straws. In
starting, a curved pattern 51 straws across will have to be made and
slipped up or down in a sixteenth division of the mat in order that
the margin space may be determined.

[36] This design, in all cases except where G S is 8 instead of 5,
would look well with the outer border line broadened to the edge of
the mat. This is a suggestion only; it means a great deal of work.

[37] Weave large solid parts of designs first, when possible, and
slight mistakes of one or two straws, which may happen, will then occur
in open parts where they will show very little. Mistakes of this kind
are only allowable in cases of flaws in the mat which is used.
