HOW TO APPLY THE DESIGN
THERE are two ways to apply
IL this dncinr, To tho ,natnrial

THERE are two ways to apply
1 this design to the material
upon which you wish to work it.
If your material is sheer-such
as handkerchief linen, lawn. batiste
and the like-the simplest method
Is to lay the material over the de-
sign, and, with a well-pointed pencil.
draw over each line.
If your material is heavy. secure
piece OF transfer or impression
paper. Lay 1t. face down. upon this ;
them draw over each line of the
paper design with a hard pencil or
the point of steel knitting needle.
Upon lifting the pattern and trans
fer paper you will find neat and
accurate impression of the design
upon your material.
There are two points to observe
: III this simple process, if you would
execute it satisfactorily. One is,
see that your material is level-cut
and folded by thread-and that
your design is placed upon it evenly
at every point.
The second IS, when placed accu-
rately, secure the design to the ma
terial with thumb tacks or pins so
Evening star., 1909-05-09

that they cannot slip during the
operation.
Transfer paper comes in white,
black, blue, red and yellow. I ad-
wise the use Of the lighter colors
when possible, as the black and blue
are so liable to crock.
Do not rest your hands or fingers
upon any part of the design you are
transferring, else the imprint of
hand or fingers will be as distinct
upon the material as the drawn
lines of the design.
