Focus on transferring or tracing patterns

October 1, 2024

Continuing the series where I pick out some of my blog posts to share with you, this month's theme is transferring or tracing patterns. Most of my embroidery patterns require you to trace from the paper or digital pattern onto fabric.  

  • There are different pens you can use to trace patterns, this post covers 5 different pens you can use. And this post gives more information about my favourite pen to use.

  • If you want to get better at tracing patterns then this post covers my top tips and this post focusses on being more accurate when you trace.

I've got plenty of other blog posts about transferring  (and other aspects of embroidery) so I encourage you to browse through the embroidery tips page on my website.

Enjoyed this blog post? I share embroidery tips and a free embroidery pattern in my monthly newsletter. Sign up here to receive the newsletter on the 1st of each the month.
