The New Transfer Patterns
(PATENTS PENDING)
DIRECTIONS
Lay the design you wish to transfer face down
ward, on any flat surface, and dampen the back with
water until the outlines of the design show clearly
through the paper. A wet cloth will serve the pur
pose of dampening, but a small sponge is better.
Spread the material on which you wish to transfer
the design on the table or on any smooth, hard stir
face ; lay the dampened design, still face downward,
on the material, cover it with a dry sheet of thick
paper or several folds of a newspaper, and rub with
a slight pressure, using a handkerchief or dry
cloth, until the design is entirely transferred. Dur
ing the rubbing you may readily see whether enough
pressure is being applied by lifting a corner or end
of the design and noting how it is taking.
The whole process is very simple and, after a
trial or two, you should be able to make a perfect
transfer to any kind of goods. Do not wet the
transfer sheet too much. Do not wet the material,
and do not nib the face of the design with wet or
damp fingers.
Several transfers may be made from the same
design, it being only necessary to redampen the back
of the design sheet for each additional transfer.
The design may be readily removed from the ma
terial by washing the material in warm water and
a little soap. The ink with which the transfers are
printed is absolutely harmless, and will not injure
the finest fabric.
Cover or cut out letters in making the transfers
to goods.
JABOT WITH BUTTERFLY BOW
The jabot and bow may be made of any fine ma
terial, and the design worked in solid or eyelet em
hroiderv with a buttonhole edtre. The iabot. which
may, of course, be made any length desired, should
be plaited very closely at the top. The bow should
be gathered in the center, covered with a tiny band
of the same material, and then placed over the
plaits of the jabot. Narrow Valenciennes lace,
gathered on beneath the scallop, adds to the dressi
ness of the effect.
COLLAR AND BOW
This design is suitable for a colored linen collar
worked in white, with a white bow worked in the
same color as the collar, as well as for an all-white
collar. It should be worked in solid embroidery,
with dots eyelet. If an elaborate effect is de
sired, however, fancy stitches may be used in the
medallions, or a lace may be inserted before the
design is worked. The Dow should be gathered
through the center and covered with a tiny band
of the material.
DESIGN FOR TOWEL
This design is appropriate also for pillow cases
and sheets, dresser scarfs, buffet scarfs, carving
cloths, table covers, etc. It is mbst effective when
embroidered in the French underlaid work with"
solid dots. The design should be placed two incites
above the hem. An initial or monogram may be
placed in the center of the medallion.
