The New Transfer Patterns
(PATENTS PENDING)
DIRECTIONS
Laythc 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 sponsre is better.
1 Spread the material on which you wish to transfer
tlie 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
I a slight pressure, using a handkerchief or dry
J cloth, until the design is entirely transferred. Dur
it ''ag.die rubbiugiixu may readily see whether enough
p pressure is being apftljed by lifting a corner or end
of the design and noting hotitPteking-
T"!. . I .
s me wnoie process is very simple and, aUer a
? trial or two, you should be able to make a pcrfc
B transfer to any kind of goods. Do not wet the
' transfer sheet too much. Do not wet the material,
P and do not rub the face of the design with wet or
ii Janip fingers. .
I Several transfers may be made from the same
I design, it being only necessary to redampen the back
ij 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
j a little soap. The ink with which the transfers are
piintcd is absolutely harmless, and will not injure
h the finest fabric.

J DESIGN FOR SHIRT-WAIST
An unusually elaborate shirt-waist design is
given in this issue. It is, however, suitable for
simpler effect than that called for by the entire
design. The needle worker may, after the transfer
has been made, omit much of the design and still
have a very effective waist. Colors may be used
to good advantage if desired. A great deal may
be left to the individual taste in the use of this
pattern. It is, of course, specially adapted to
heavier shirt-waist goods than that used ordinarily,
though almost any quality of material may be used.
No one accustomed to embroidery will have dif
ficulty in the work on this waist, and any beginner
will be able to do the collar. The collar design
may be used also for cuff decorations or for sleeves.
In making the transfer, it will be easier to
transfer the complete waist design than to try to
leave out any part of it. Such parts of the design
as may not be desired may be easily removed from
the goods by washing in warm water and soap.
