How to Transfer Embroidery Designs
Embroidery can be done in several ways. You have your classic hand embroidery, embroidery machine embroidery, and free-motion embroidery. We will talk more about those various types in a future post, for now, for now, let’s talk about how to transfer embroidery designs and some products that can be helpful for your more elaborate embroidery design transfers. Yikes… I said embroidery a lot there!
Just as there are several ways you can embroidery, there are also several ways you can transfer your designs onto your fabric. One way is to simply draw it yourself. You can use a vanishing pen, or even a washable Crayola marker. If your fabric and design allow it, you can simply trace it. If you are having trouble seeing the design thru the fabric, perhaps taping it to the window would help so light can pass through, or you can trace your design by placing it on a lightbox. Or you can transfer your designs using a vanishing embroidery transfer.
