Did you like using the double layers, or was it more of a hassle?

Sorry so many questions, but I just never heard of that before!
I would like to know, too.
I would also like to know starting a Christmas Redwork quilt I got from Grandma's Attic.

Works great for me. Good luck-
This is a great idea, I will try it.

I have also heard, or read somwhere, that you cam make a zerox copy of your pattern, and use that zerox copy as a transfer iron on pattern. Has anyone tried this?

O.K. nobody asked but thought I'd give you the name of the stabilzer that I use when hand- embroidering on thin fabric. It keeps the embroidery floss from showing through when you
"travel" from one spot to another. It comes in a plastic package and is called

Soft'n Sheer Cut-Away Permanent Stabilizer by Sulky.

Thanks for the sugestion I have written it down and will find some because I want the Christmas quilt to look great for several generations. Gail

Forgot to mention that the Soft'n Sheer can be found in the sewing notions dept of Jo-Ann's, not the quilting dept.

they have transfer paper, and a transfer pencil, I have had a tablet forever, and love it, you just trace the pattern, and then iron it on, you can use the same paper with the design on it, a couple of times. God bless.

What would be the easiest way to transfer these red work designs onto a piece of fabric to embroider?

Looking for ideas! Thanks!
I would first iron the fabric onto freezer paper then trace the patterns onto your fabric with marking pencil you like the best.
