Braiding Hints
When braiding net, georgette crepe, chifton and light weight
materials genei'ally, a backing is necessary to prevent puckering
of the goods, and for this purix)se chemically ti’eated crinoline
is used, this crinoline being afterwards removed by placing the
work in a warm oven or by the application of a hot ii'on. ('hem-
ically treated crinoline can be jnirchased from dealers ready for
use or the mixture for the chemical treatment of crinoline can be
prepared as follows:
Receipe for Making the Chemical Mixture:
Dissolve one cup of dry lump starch in cold water, then add
siiflicient boiling water to iriake thin starch water and add 2
ounces of sulphuric acid. Let cool. Having secured a picas'of
crimdine (about
24 yards) fold it to lit the basin and jclacc it in
lh(' starch water, leaving it stand for (Uie hour. 'I'lien take out
the crinoline and hang it >ip to dry. It is then ready for use.
Method of Stamping
In a majority of cases where chemically treated crinoline is
used as a backing for sheer materials, the embroidery design is
stamped on the crinoline. This stamping is done by spreading
with a poncette, previously saturated with benzine, regular em­
broiderer’s paste over the perforated pattern which is ])laced,
right side up, over the crinoline. The material to b(' braided is
then placed over the stamped crinoline, and as the embroidery
design can be seen through the material, it is easily followed by
the operator. After the braid is sewn on, the crinoline is removed
by placing it in a small oven or by apjflying a hot iron to it. The
heat causes the crinoline to crumple into a powder so that there
is no trace of the backing left, and the braid and material remain
uninjured.
When braiding broadcloth, Bolivia cloth, sei'ge, velvet and
other similar fabrics, no backing is reifuired and the embroidery
design is usually stamped on the face of the material, the best
results being obtained by this method. The stamping of the em­
broidery design is done, in most cases, with powder which can be
procured from embroidery dealers, or, if desired, can be quickly
prepared as follows;
Receipe for Making Stamping Powder:
Put ОШ' cup of zinc white, M cup of jiowdercci resin ; itu I > i
cup of t:ilcuin in :i lyisin and mix thoroughly, then sift through
■a fine cloth. It is then ready for use.
Method of Stamping
The powder is spread by means of a poncette over the per­
forated pattern which is placed, wrong side up, on the face of the
fabric to be braided. When the pattern is removed, the embroidery
design is clearly shown on the fabric. The braid is then sewn over
the stamped design, so that none of the marking is visible when
the work is finished.
