REMEMBER DYE LOTS
To insure the best results make certain that the "STAR" Brand Crochet Cotton you buy to crochet your tablecloth is of one dye lot. The best way to be sure of this is to purchase sufficient material at one time to complete your piece. Or you can ask your dealer to reserve enough "STAR" Brand Crochet Cotton for you.

WASHING AND BLOCKING CROCHET
Using hot water and a mild soap, make thick suds, add cold water until suds are lukewarm.
Let the article stand in the suds a very few minutes, then squeeze in and out until thoroughly clean. Rinse in clear water several times or until sure the soap is removed. Roll in a bath towel. This will absorb some of the moisture.
The work is now ready for blocking. Lay the work on a padded ironing board or a flat surface and pin in position with rust proof pins, stretching it gently to correct size and shape. Press through a damp cloth and leave in position until dry.
