Fig. 634.—This is adapted from an outline embroidery design.
This furnishes one section of the pattern; the rest is but a repetition of the same, which is reversed as the curves alternate.
Now for the making of the stencil.
Fig. 635 is a section of the design, actual size, which you can use immediately, without waiting to develop a design for yourself.
Take a piece of smooth white tissue paper, lay it over the pattern ([Fig. 635]) and, with a very soft lead pencil, trace the pattern carefully. [Fig. 635] is reversed, especially for tracing. Have ready a perfectly smooth piece of heavy Manila wrapping paper seventeen inches long and seven inches wide. With the aid of a ruler draw two straight lines lengthwise across the paper, the first line two and a half inches from the top edge of the paper (E, [Fig. 636]), the next one and three-eighths inches below the first line (F). One-half of an inch above the first line E draw another line (G), and one-half of an inch below the line F draw another line (H).
