MARKING OF QUILTS IN THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY
Stamp Them Quickly
by Using These Perforated Patterns!
PERFORATED
QUILTING PATTERNS
MARKING a quilt for quilting is more nearly like an artist's job than
any step in the making of a quilt. On pieced blocks straight lines,
which follow the seams of the patchwork or cross into checkerboard or
diamond effects, are usually best. On the alternate plain blocks or
strips and on borders the quilting may be as ornate as desired.
We have adapted some of the old-time favorite designs in addition to
originating new patterns, to fit other space plans. These come on a
special tough but transparent paper, the design perforated so that it
may be used over and over with stamping paste.
HOW TO STAMP
TO USE our paste, wet a piece of cotton lightly with benzine or naptha,
then rub over the paste until the cotton shows color. Place your
perforated pattern over your material, smooth side of the pattern up.
Hold pattern firmly in place and rub lightly over the design with your
cotton. Be careful not to get your cotton too wet. After you have
finished using the pattern, pour some benzine freely on a piece of
cotton and clean pattern through the perforations thoroughly. This
paste will not smear like a pencil or powder but does not remove
easily. If stamped lightly the thread should cover it. If you practice
first on scrap material you can soon judge how damp to have the cotton,
how little paste will transfer, and then there will be no mistakes.
STAMPING PASTE
WE SUPPLY gray or yellow stamping paste under number 206 at 25 cents
postpaid. This box of paste is very effective to use in stamping and
there is enough of it to last for many stampings. Please state color
wanted. No. 206, Box, 25 cents.
Note:
The actual size of each perforated pattern is given. It can be used on
a much larger block.

MAPLE
LEAF, about 3 1/2 inches across, may be used to fill in corners in
connection with larger patterns or four on a block. The Shell will make
a charming border repeat. It is 3 1/2 x 5 1/2, just right for many
places in marking out a quilt. Thistle is the largest, a 4 1/2-inch
square that is beautiful for corners, between scallops, for a border,
or centered four on a square.
No. 330, Maple Leaf, Shell and Thistle, 30 cents.

DAISY
CORNER
A PERFORATED pattern of proper quality may be placed wherever one
wishes it, stamped, replaced and re-stamped a great number of times.
The daisy corner is not a large pattern, only nine inches along its
longer side, yet by combining it with itself it may be used on
nine-inch squares or 12-inch squares as shown in the sketch, or
repeated for a six-inch border with interesting corners. Perforated on
tough bond paper, the Daisy Corner is No. 350, the price 25 cents.
No. 350 Perforated Daisy Pattern, 25 cents.
No. 206 Box Stamping Wax, 25 cents |
