2013年7月3日 · The art-o-graph light box looks a great embroidery accessory I have a light box for small projects and tracing on a light box does save time, the light-o-graph sounds a really good product and I would love one of these I will have to save up and buy one, another item goes on my wish-list. Thanks so much for sharing this with us.

2010年12月13日 · The small light tracers that are sold for basic tracing of small things (and have about a 9×12″ surface) are more affordable, but the 9×12″ surface is not everything it’s cracked up to be. For one thing, the brightest part of the tracing area is smack in the middle, and as you move towards the sides, the light grows dimmer and dimmer.

2012年11月3日 · Dark or heavy fabrics: For transferring a design onto darker fabric (this is anything from a natural colored linen, for example, to black) or a heavier fabric where tracing is out of the question, I prepare the fabric as above, and then I use prick and pounce, with a light grey / white powder, made from a mixture of charcoal and talc.

2024年12月6日 · When tracing the shape like this, pin the pattern to the felt, and trace carefully around the pattern. You can see here a combination of white pencil, yellow tailor’s chalk, and marker line. They all work. None are that pleasant to draw with on felt, though. But they work! And that’s what matters. Here you can see piece B lined up and ready ...

2012年9月12日 · The idea is the same as carbon paper, without the carbon paper. When you can’t readily trace your design, either because you can’t see well enough through the fabric or you don’t have a sunny window or light box available, this method is a quick life-saver with certain types of designs and certain types of fabric.

2024年9月27日 · Before I began tracing, I laid my frame on top to test the placement, to make sure I’d have enough room around all edges for tacking the fabric to the frame and also for comfortable stitching. Lightly trace the design onto the fabric. Try not to “sketch” in short strokes but instead to draw in continuous light line.

2014年1月22日 · Let it sit for a few minutes (about 30-ish) and then unroll it. It should still be slightly damp. Iron it on a clean ironing board horizontally and vertically, flipping the piece and turning it now and then, using a light hand. Do not hold the iron in one place ever, and do not iron on the bias (diagonally across the fabric).

2006年10月4日 · 3. Trace your design onto the Solvy. Be careful in the tracing – wobbly lines will give wobbly results! I messed up on my tracing right off the bat. 4. Place your inner hoop on the table, lay your fabric over it, right side up, lay the Solvy over the fabric, pen side up, and place your outer hoop over everything.

2015年3月24日 · I’ve reviewed the LightPad here – if you do a lot of design tracing, it’s so very convenient, comfortable, and easy to have a good, flat, large light surface to trace on! You can see in the examples on the LightPad review that it’s possible to trace on dark linens and silks, with the right light behind the fabric and design.

2011年3月7日 · The Sulky pens are far too thick, in my opinion, for a good transfer. In any case, iron on transfers are rarely ideal, and the do it yourself kind are even less so. There are two methods of transfer that I generally use: tracing using s light box and either a pencil or a micron art pen, or prick and pounce.
