In this post, I shared about my quest for a design to embroider on a piece of toweling I had turned into a kitchen towel. Today, I transferred the design onto the towel using the following method ...
The first thing I did was to make a copy of the design I wanted to use.
I flipped the design over and using just a plain #2 pencil I went over the design.
I removed the paper when I was finished and had a somewhat faint pattern of my chosen design.
Using the same pencil again, I went over the lines darkening them. The design is now ready to stitch!
When I finish stitching it, I plan to hang it as decor. I have a hook mounted on the wall waiting for its completion!
I used this method for transferring designs many years ago but had forgotten about it until a dear reader reminded me of it. Thank you!

DeleteI remember my mother using that method when I was a child. I had forgotten all about it. Thanks for reminding me.
ReplyDeletePatsi, that design is going to look so good on that towel. I can't wait to see the finished product!
