Transfer drawings of flowers, etc., are made with some composition on tissue or tracing paper from stencil plates cut to suit the particular patterns. The composition is a material consisting of resin and colouring matter (common red sea ing wax would do). This is powdered and sprinkled over the stencil while it is lying on the paper. On running a hot iron over the stencil plate the design is left on the paper. To transfer to linen, place the paper on the linen and run a hot iron over the back of the paper.
