Maureen, you might want to use a light box of some sort to transfer the design. That is what most of us have done. There are lots of ways to improvise one if you don't have one. I personally use my big square ruler balanced between 2 chair seats with a lamp placed on the floor underneath. Then you will want to tape the pattern down, then tape your fabric down on top and trace your pattern onto your background. Hope that helps.
On another note...I finally was able to watch Sharon's video. Thats a great idea to do the innie points. I'll be trying that. I don't know about using that foundation as I really really want to just be able to "master" the regular needleturn technique.
