DIRECTIONS
I,ay the design you wish to transfer face downward, on any flat
surfate, and dampen the back with water until the outlines of the
design show clearly through the paper. A wet cloth will serve the
purpose of dampening, but a small sponge is better. Spread the
material on which ytfu wish to transfer the design on the
table or on any smooth, hard 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
handkerchief or dry cloth, until the design
is entirely transferred. During the rubbing
you may readily see whether enough pres
sure 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 re
dampen 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 absolutely
harmless, and will not
injure the finest fabric.
A. NEEDLEQASE. Cut out two heart-shaped pieces of card
board, cover them with linen and overcast the edges. Then pink
two or three pieces of flannel of the same shape for the needles. The
flowers may be worked in blue, pink, yellow or red.

worked in butterfly colors. The outer edge should be buttonholed
and cut out. Inside put several layers of chamois or flannel of the
same shape.
C. SAFETY PIN CASE. The com
plete design should be worked on the front
cover, and only eyelets and scallop on the

of flannel of the same size between the
front and back. These are held by ribbon
laced through eyelets.
D. HANDKERCHIEF CASE. This
envelope-shaped case may be made of linen
or silk. The design should be transferred
to the outside flap. The pocket part should
be bound on each side and across the top
with ribbon. The bowknot should be
worked solid. The lower loop of the knot
forms the scallop.
