ABSTRACT
Hanging fabrics depends principally for its success upon good judgment and good taste; the mechanical part of the operation is not difficult. This class of work is, of course, more or less expensive, and the judicious workman will very carefully study the pattern of the fabric with a view to using it to the best possible advantage. Scale drawings will make a difficult problem comparatively easy of solution. The material is fastened in position by being tacked to strips of wood nailed to the wall for the purpose. Tufted work is best and most conveniently executed on temporary panels made the exact size of each section they are intended to occupy, and covered with burlap stretched tight and treated with a coating of glue to render it stiff. Very pretty effects may be obtained by sticking common lace window-curtains on walls, and then tastefully tinting and bronzing.
