STAMPING OUTFIT
“_THE LITTLE WONDER_” PEARL’S PERFORATOR & STAMPING OUTFIT
PATENTED. NOV. 21st 1882.]
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.
The “Little Wonder” Perforator can be furnished for the following
