    This document discusses three methods for transferring embroidery designs onto fabric: hot-iron transfer, tracing method, and stamping. The hot-iron transfer uses thin paper designs that are placed on the fabric and ironed to transfer the pattern. The tracing method involves placing the design under carbon paper and fabric and using a tracing wheel or pencil to mark the lines. Stamping, though not described, is the third method mentioned for transferring designs onto fabric.

    TRANSFERRING

    TRANSFERRING DESIGNS
    • The embroidery design you choose reflects who you are
    or the purpose for which your project is being done. For
    a more individual touch, you may create. If this is not
    possible you may copy a design from commercially
    available books on embroidery. Whichever make sure that
    the design you choose will not only suit your purpose
    but will also enhance the beauty of your fabric.
    • There are several ways of transferring designs on fabric.
    Among these are ironing, tracing, and stamping.
    • Hot-iron Transfer
    Some designs sold in craft stores are printed on thin
    transfer sheets. These are called hot-iron transfers, the
    easiest among the three methods. To use a hot-iron
    transfer, first remove excess paper around the design,
    place the design on the fabric, then pin at the corners.
    Make sure your flatiron is at low setting before pressing it
    over an area of the design for a few seconds. Lift the iron
    then move it to another area of the design. Remember
    not to glide the iron over the design as this can ruin the
    design.
    • Tracing Method
    Designs may also be transferred using a tracing wheel and
    preferably dressmaker’s carbon paper. However, when no carbon
    paper of this type is available, ordinary carbon paper may be used.
    Utmost care should be taken though in using the latter type as it
    can smear badly on the fabric. Remember to use light-colored
    carbon paper if your fabric is of a light color. The steps in this
    method are as follows:
    1. Place your design right side up
    on your fabric then pin at the corners.
    Slowly insert the carbon paper or
    dressmaker’s carbon, carbon side down,
    between the design and fabric.
    2. Using a tracing wheel, go over the lines of the design.

    3.You may also use a pencil or any sharp or pointed


    instrument to trace the design.
