Hi everyone!!
I use a perminent micro tipped pen to transfer my designs in whatever color the embroidery will be. (Ex.- red for redwork) I have used a mechanical lead pencil in the past too. It all depends on the fabric I am working on. I mostly use the window and some painters tape to get the image transfered. I am too cheap to buy the light box I want. LOL!

I don't have a light box so what I usually do is tape the picture on a window with the fabric square on top. Then I just trace over it with a wash away pen/pencil. Don't use the diappearing ink, it disappears before your done. Ask me how I know this. :oops:

Thanks for the suggestions. This is how I've been doing it as well.

Thank you!

Tee hee hee ... Free is fun, isn't it? I hope you girls show and tell when you get yours finished.

Thank you very much. :-D :-D :-D

Thanks so much for letting us know about AA's free redwork. I was looking for a hand project to begin...and this fills the bill
Thanks again

Girls .. I am so glad that so many of you are enjoying this link. Enjoy and have fun with your hand work.

Thank you for that. I love redwork. I am currently working on an alphabet quilt.

Here is another great site on all the methods for transering patterns:
