I have to do a trial run before I start my Jane Eyre slow stitch project; for this I need to transfer this image onto cloth without using chalk, pencils or any sort marking.
The technique involves tracing the image onto the tissue paper, and then pinning it to the fabric and stitching through it. I hauled out my gift tissue paper, but then I got an idea.
Instead of tracing I taped a piece of tissue paper to some card stock and printed the image on it with my laser jet printer.
Once I cut the tissue paper off the card stock (removing the tape tears the tissue paper) I had the perfect image transfer.
I'm going to test this on muslin first to see how it will look, embroidery-wise, but I think it's going to work. Stay tuned to see the results.
