They make fabric crayons. Several brands. Colors are subtle. I used to do pillow cases at childrens' parties with them. Check out Michael's. One of my friends used them to do onesies at a baby shower.

the red pencils can be bought at Hancocks and the colors need to be crayola....you don't have to buy the fabric colors, these are just more expensive.

You can get them at Hancock or JoAnn Fab. I used them for making quilts. Also check out Dover Books - they have fantastic iron on transfers. Edie

I use to have tons of them, I think I got them free in a magazine. Years ago I used them on white sheets and painted them with the paint tubes, for my 2 girls bunk beds.

I reuse the Aunt Martha's Iron On Transfers several times, and when they are no longer transferable, I buy those tablets of paper that let you make new copies of the pattern, with the special pencils that they also sell, I can use the new copies several times also. So no pattern ever goes unused. My sister has a lot of the old old patterns that our grandmother had, and we have both make copies of them as the patterns were so old the would not transfer to material. You can buy the tablets and pencils at Herrschner's, or sometimes Hobby Lobby may have these items also. Good Luck!

I have a lot of Aunt Martha's embroidery transfers. I use them on tea towels for gifts. My grandchildren pick out flowers or animals and color them with fabric pens onto dish towels and give them to adults as a thank you for something special. I'm also teaching my granddaughters to embroider. I use the transfers for lots of things.

you can buy a transfer pencil, trace your design and iron it as you did before. works great and you get years more use. God bless. Penny
