THERE arc two ways to apply

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 Gke-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
q piece of transfer or impression
paper Lay it, face down, upon this;
then draw over each line of the
paper design with hard pencil or
the pcint 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
in this simple process, if you would
execute it satisfactorily. One Is,
see that your material is level-cut
and folded by a thread-and that
your design is placed upon it evenly
at every point.
The second is, when placed accu-
fately, secure the design to the ma
terial with thumb tacks or pins SO

Sewing Hints

w yHEN making buttonholes in ma
wv terial always choose a thread
twenty numbers coarser than
that which you would naturally use in
that material For instance. IL you are
sewing piece of material with No. ~
cotton. you can work the buttonholes
with No. 60.
To prevent the thread from knotting
when doing hand sewing always make
a knot in the end last broken from the
spool. This done. stretch the thresd by
taking the ends and giving several
quick pulls.
A little tin ruler is much easier to use
than the tape measure for the measur-
Ing of little things. such as bands. hens
and tucks.
II you sew a wastbone up the back
OF tape measure for the first ten
inches you will have a means at hand
TO rapidly measure skirt lengths and
lines for trimming.
In cutting garments 1t Is sometimes
more rapid to fasten the pattern In
place by means of weights than by pins.
A few paper clips are invaluable in
the sewing basket for they may hold to-
gether scraps, pieces Of patterns and
bits of lace.
Some thumb tacks. such as artists and
draughtsmen use. will be found an in
valuable heip In rne sewing room. You
will need tfem to fasten long cores OF
slippery silk to your lapboard or cut
ling table.
