Ladies, Make Your Own Stamping Patterns.
This Sewing Machine Attachment makes Perforated Stamping Patterns, from the most elaborate and intricate designs, either original or those from Art Books. The design is placed over from 1 to 10 sheets of Linen paper and passed through the machine. Perforated duplicates are thereby obtained, each of which will stamp the design a hundred times. Designs may be taken from wall paper, cretonnes, carpets, laces, etc.
Patterns perforated in this way are superior in every way to those made by the old method. There is no rough side from which you are obliged to stamp; being alike on both sides one can stamp from either side. There is no possibility of the patterns “filling up” and thus becoming useless, for each perforation is made by actually removing an atom of the paper the size of the needle or punch used. Different sized punches are furnished so that the operator can choose a fine or a coarse line as best suits his work.
By setting the machine with a short stitch so the perforations come close together, beautiful stencils can be cut from card-board, paper, etc.
The “Little Wonder” is applicable to transferring designs for Embroidery, Braiding, Quilting, Ornamental Painting, Frescoing, Wood Carving, Fret-Sawing, and for instantly copying designs on the blackboard for the use of teachers illustrating lessons in Botany, Geography, Natural History, etc., etc.
Accompanying each outfit are instructions, showing how to perforate, how to stamp on any material without liquids (the simplest and most perfect method known) and how to set stamping on velvets and plush by steam; various minor uses to which the “Little Wonder” is applicable are also fully noted.
