Transferring Embroidery Designs

 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.

Then I flipped the design back over and placed it where I wanted it on the towel.  Using the same pencil, I went over the design on the front side, pressing down firmly but not firm enough to rip the paper, being careful to hold the pattern in place.

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!

I hope you find this method useful, now, let's head back to the archives ...
