This pattern for a table runner was originally published in 1916.
Directions:
This is a simple and attractive embroidery design for a table runner and dresser scarf.
In using the printed design from the paper the directions are as follows: If the material is sheer the easiest way is to lay it over the design, which will show through plainly, and draw over each line with a hard, sharp pencil. If your linen is heavy, buy a piece of impression paper – the kind that does not rub off – lay it on your material, place the design over it, and trace with a hard pencil. You will find the design neatly transferred.
