~HOW TO TRANSFER PRINT-OUT PATTERNS~ TRANSFER PEN OR PENCIL METHOD To transfer designs you will need a hot-iron transfer pen (such as SULKY brand) or a hectograph pencil and tracing paper.  Both are available at most sewing and arts & crafts super stores.  Sulky pens can also be purchased online.  Visit their website for more information at: www.sulky.com/transferpen/ Designs will print out in reverse and will transfer correctly when traced as they appear. Tracing paper is recommended because you can see how much of the design has been traced and if you make a mistake, you haven't spoiled your printed pattern.  It is helpful to tape the corners down as you work so that it doesn't shift. The traced design is then transfered to cloth with a hot iron in the same manner as any other transfer.  Place it face down onto cloth, pin into position and stamp with a dry med- high iron.   Avoid sliding the iron back and forth over the transfer as this may cause it to slip and the lines may blur.   Always lift one corner at a time to make sure that the entire design has stamped evenly. TRACING WITH LIGHT Before modern methods light was used.  This can still be done by taping the pattern and cloth to a sunny window and tracing the (reversed) design directly onto cloth with a water-proof sewing marker or pencil.   Useful for very large designs.   A light box also works the same way.  Just don't forget to reverse the designs by turning the paper over, before you trace them.   This is only important if words or lettering is involved, most designs can be stitched in either direction.                                                                                 www.patternbee.com
