Transferring the embroidery pattern:
This kit comes with two copies of the pattern - an iron-on pattern and a pattern to trace.
- The iron-on embroidery pattern makes it easy to transfer the image onto your fabric. Just lay the iron-on pattern (labeled “iron me” in the kit) with the image facing your fabric and gently iron the back of the paper with a dry iron. Once the image is transferred, you’re ready to go! Keep your iron-on pattern and re-use it up to 5 times.
- The embroidery pattern for tracing (labeled “trace me” in the kit) is easy to use with an embroidery tracing pen, or you can use a pencil. Simply lay your fabric on top of the pattern, and trace the pattern onto your fabric. Save the pattern and re-use it as many times as you would like!
