The New Transfer Patterns
(PATENTS PENDING
DIRECTIONS
Lay tiic 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 sur
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-
1 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 rub 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 ietters in making the transfers
to goods.
COLLAR, BOW AND BELT SET
For the woman or girl who has little time, the
set consisting of collar, tie and belt will appeal. It
gives a severely plain costume just the needed
dressy touch. The design is to be worked solid
with dots eyelets, either in white or colored cottons.
The solid work should be underlaid with a soft
filling cotton. Collar (A), Back of Belt (B), Front
of Belt (C), Tie End (D).
COLLAR AND TIE SET
(Page 3.)
Very little time or knowledge of embroidery is
required to make this collar and bow, and the re
sult is a stylish bit o" neckwear. The design is to
be worked solid with circles worked as evelets or
padded dots. White or colored cottons may be
used as desired.. The embroidered bow may be
edged with a narrow frill of lace or a bow of sheer
lawn placed beneath. A firm quality of linen should
be used for the collar.
DESIGN FOR BOW AND JABOT
(Page 3.)
Handkerchief linen or Persian lawn would make
up most prettily for the bow and jabot. The de
sign is to be padded with soft cotton and worked
solid, with circles worked as evelets or padded dots
and edge buttonholed. White or colored cottons
may be used. Place a bow of sheer linen or lawn
tinder the embroidered bow, gather both through
the center, and fasten together with a crosswise fold
of same material. Gather the jabot along top edge.
