This design transfer method is similar to one i saw using netting. I thought it would be a great idea, but I gave up on that one quickly. It was too messy leaving dots of marker all over me and I was afraid it would make a mess of my fabrics.

This one looks a little more rigid and easier to handle. I suppose a piece of screening might even be preferable to the netting.

I haven't use this method but it looks interesting , what type of pen would you use ? shall follow this and see what answers come up .

for the netting, it had you mark your design on the netting with sharpie, and use a water erasable pen when you transfer it to the fabric.

What I have done in enlarging or shrinking a quilting design (normally a plastic quilting template) is draw out the template on a picec of paper, then make a copy on my scanner, then attach no more than 6 layers of standard tracing paper to the back. With no thread or bobbin, I stitch the pattern following the lines and I have instant copies. I just pin each of the tracing copy onto the quilt and quilt the design. You carefully remove the tracing paper. No mess except for the removal of the tracing paper.

This is one I will try. Looks promising.

I've tried this with the golden threads paper, but it shreds as I'm quilting before I can get the whole design done.

I've used toile glued to an old picture frame. Worked wonderfully. Like you, I drew the pattern onto the toile with Sharpie and then onto the quilt with the Crayolas. The product from Annies seems to use the same method. Toile is not expensive and is available at many fabric stores.

Bohin makes a product like this, a friend told me about it and raved about how hers worked. I bought a kit with the mesh, pen etc from the Bohin booth at Houston but haven't had a chance to try it yet....
