La que es mala es incapaz deste oficio, torpe y hace mala labor, y echa a perder cualquier tela.
\nLa hilandera tiene por oficio hacer lo siguiente, conviene a saber: saber escarmenar y sacudir bien lo escarmenado. La que es buena hilandera sabe hilar delgado, parejo e igual, y ansí tiene buena mano y es diestra en el hilar. También sabe hacer buena mazorca en el huso y devanar o hacer ovillo, y saber concertar el hilo que está en la devanadera para la ordiembre, y saber triplicar los hilos, e saber hilar hilo grueso y floxo. La que no es tal hace tramoxas, y es floxa y perezosa, y tal que de pura perezosa no ve la hora para dexar lo que hace.
\nLa costurera sabe coser y labrar y echar buena labor en todo lo que labra. La que es buena costurera es buena oficiala de su oficio, y echa labores trazando bien primero lo que ha de hacer.
