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 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
ing the rubbing you may readily sec whether enough
pressure is being applied by lifting a corner or end
of the design and notine how it is taking.
The whole process is very simple and, after a i
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 tc 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
prin'-H is absolutely harmless, and will not injure
the finest fabric
DESCRIPTIONS
Three simple designs are given this week, a
Dutch collar, a belt and a bag, and the manner of
working them is alike. The ordinary eyelet or dot
and satin-stitch or French embroidery is to be used
and the designs may be worked in plain white or
color.
The accompanying illustration gives a fairly
ckar idea of how the designs will appear when
worked up on linen. It is the sort of embroidery
even young girls may successfully accomplish. For
the begimier the article on page four will be help
ful and for the experienced needle worker, it is
hoped that some of the suggestions given there
may be of service.
In making the transfer to the desired goods, cut
out or cover up the parts of the other design not
wanted
