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 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 redampn 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
