How to transfer a design onto fabric?

Embroidery design tracing

Do you know how hand embroidery works? In this post, I am going to explain the steps on how to transfer a design you want to embroider onto the material. There are several transfer methods, and I will explain the common method I often use.

Use a water soluble fabric marker to trace the design directly onto the fabric. So, the design will fade away after washing. This tracing method works well on light-colored fine weave fabric. If it is dark colored thick fabric, then use a piece of white chalk for tracing the design.

Once you have finished tracing, you can start embroidering.
