(Patents Pending) Directions Lay the design you wish to transfer face downward, on any flat surface, and dampen the back with water until fne outlines of the de sigTushow 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 smoothhard surface; 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 handker chief or dry cloth, until the design- is entirely transferred. During (he 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 wef 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 material by washing the material in warm water and a little soap.. The ink .with which the transfers are printed is absohitely harmless, and will not in jure the finest fabric. Cover or cut out letters in making the transfers to goods. Copyright, nffoX If. H.
