Re: Different ways of Transferring Pattern to Paper

Hi did,

Another way of transferring a pattern to a fabric besides using carbon paper, would be to use a light box. A light box is a box with glass on one side and a bulb inside which when turned on allows you to see the pattern design beneath the fabric and let you copy it.

You can also tape your pattern to a clean window pane and then tape your fabric on top to copy it. This works best when it is bright outside.

When drawing on your fabric you can use a regular pencil which is not very dark, like an H pencil.

These techniques work best on lighter colored fabric. For darker fabric you can use light colored carbon paper.

Hope this helps,

Nehzat

It is a good idea.

It is a good idea but I don't have the box ( I would love it) and windows is a wonderful subsitude but.....I'll see if there are other options.

Thanks.
