There's More Below. We understand that there is a tendency to view the top/beginning of a web site or newsletter, and then to move on, thinking that anything of importance is at the top and the bottom is a waste. It's true we place new or important TCC announcements, transferware news, and events listings at the top, but there is a world of value to the middle and bottom of our eNews. We rotate new entries every month to our regular features, including Featured Books, Featured Articles, and Information Websites and Blogs. So, please, page down and sample our monthly offerings.

Ways to Fit the Transfer Pattern Onto the Ware - Database Discoveries - Contribution # 20, August, 2015
by Connie Rogers
Imagine the dilemma the transferer faces when the engraving at hand is not large enough to cover the entire center of the platter being decorated.
