The 6-page PDF pattern includes:

• Simple embroidery instructions
• An easy to trace black and white pattern
• A black and white pattern in reverse for an iron-on transfer pencil.

Transferring the embroidery pattern:

There are two copies of the pattern so that you can choose which transfer method works best for you. Here’s a brief description of each option:

• The black and white pattern makes it easy to transfer the image on to your fabric by tracing or printing on an embroidery stabilizer. Our favorite way to transfer this version of the pattern is to print on Sulky Stick’n Stitch (you can grab some in the shop HERE). You can also trace the pattern onto your fabric with a Water Soluble Marker (grab a marker in the shop HERE) or a regular pencil.

• The reverse black and white pattern works best with an iron-on transfer pencil. This is a special pencil that, when used to trace the pattern, will iron on to fabric. It’s best to use this pencil with transfer paper, or even tissue paper, but it can be used with regular paper as well. Most iron-on transfer pencil lines are permanent.
