How to Apply the
Design

THERE arc two ways TO apply
this design to the material
upon which you wish to work it.
If your material is shccr-such
as handkerchief linen, lava, 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:
then draw over each line of the
paper design with 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
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-
rately, secure the design to the ma
terial with thumbtacks or pins SO
that they cannot slip during the
operation.
Transfer paper comes in white,
black, blue, red and yellow. | adj
wise the use of the lighter colors
when possible, as the black and blue
are SO liable to crock.
Do not rest your hand 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.
