THERE are two ways to apply
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 well-pointed pencil,
draw over each line
If your material is heavy, secure
a piece of transfer or impression
paper. Lay it, face down, upon this;
