To Eliminate the Puff.

It Is often difficult to iron bias collars, centerpieces having worked edges which “puff” in the middle, etc. After washing, press the edges to bring out the design, then lay the material on a clean smooth table covered with oilcloth or zinc, wet drawn or puffed part thoroughly and pat to make it stick to the cover of the table. In this way the fullness is worked out which is seldom done w r hen done with the iron. Place a few weights on the edges to keep it firm. When the material is dry it will be perfectly smooth.
