The first thing I do is to iron a piece of freezer paper to the back of the fabric I want to transfer the design to. This stabilizes the fabric while drawing on it. Make it a few inches bigger than you need and trim down after the needle work is done.
I enlarge or decrease the motif size on a copier to my needs. (usually enlarge)
Tape the motif to a window or a light box.
Tape the freezer paper backed fabric over the motif w/ the fabric up.
Trace the motif with your tool of choice. I like to use 'Micron pens'. They are permanent and won't discolor the needle work.
After it is traced, peel the freezer paper off the back and do your needle work.
