Page 1 Materials and general instructions You will need: Needles : I would suggest buying a pack of various embroidery needles such as John James (UK) Try out which is right for you. Sharp embroidery scissors. Felt. I use heathered wool felt as I love the texture and colours. ( details of colours used in this sample below ) Stranded Embroidery thread ( details of colours used in this sample below ) I use three strand in most of my patterns, but experiment with what you feel is right. Craft Foam. 2mm white Gingham ribbon ( if making a hanging decoration ) 1 small press stud Transfering the Design to felt Various Options: Wax Dressmakers Carbon Paper ... This comes in various colours so is usful if you want to transfer your design to darker coloured fabrics, use the white carbon sheet. Place the carbon between the fabric and the printed paper design and trace using a hard pencil or empty ballpoint pen. .Transfer pens ... These work really well and the only downside is the time and care taken in tracing the outline accurately. First trace the design on the reverse of the printed sheet using the heat transfer pen. Lay it tracing side down onto your chosen fabric. Iron the design onto the fabric. I would suggest doing an experiment using some scrap first to determine the length of time to hold the iron on the design before it releases onto the fabric.
