Quaker Lace Dinner Cloth Insert
THE ORIGIN OF LACE is buried in antiquity. It is associated with the glamour, romance and chivalry of ages long past. The modern machine has made it possible to bring lace within the reach of all. Now we have faithful reproductions of rare museum pieces, to enrich our china and silver, at very low cost. The range of Quaker Lace designs is wide, embracing many periods, and the background of tradition with which they are endowed adds dignity and charm that will never be lost. There are innumerable patterns, beautiful in form and proportions, that are perfectly adapted to everyday use. Such pieces make delightful gifts, either to the Bride, or for birthday or anniversary remembrances, and will serve indefinitely as objects of undiminishing pleasure and satisfaction.
Quaker Lace Dinner Cloths are guaranteed to launder perfectly if the instructions printed on the back of the tickets are followed ( i.e. included with 2770 Gala Collection tablecloth):
When laundering this cloth, wash it by hand, as is customary for fine fabrics. Make a solution of sudsy lukewarm water, using Ivory soap flakes. Place cloth in this solution and squeeze suds through until clean. Do not rub. Rinse thoroughly in lukewarm water until clear of soap, then squeeze dry. Do not twist.
Dry partially on line, centre of cloth resting on line, right side of cloth outward. During partial drying the cloth should be straightened and shaped by hand.
iron with a warm--not hot--iron on the wrong side when slightly damp.
All of these cloths have been carefully examined before leaving the factory. They are woven with a three Thread construction, which gives the fabric added strength, locks the mesh so it cannot slip, and keeps it in shape after laundering. It is unnecessary to stretch the cloth after washing, just iron it on the wrong side while it is still damp. In case there is a little fullness on the edges, take a strip of muslin, immerse it in clean water, wring out the water, lay along the edge and press dry with warm iron.
Lace does not soil or wrinkle as easily as linen or damask cloths.
If after dinner there are a few spots on the cloth, these can be removed by placing a folded towel under the spots and sponging off with a little soap and water. The cloth can be used over and over before it is necessary to give it a regular laundering.
