I just made a small pillow case for my grandson for a small pillow that I have had forever. I would use the transfers to make more pillow cases for my grandson's. I love the vintage look these designs have.
Young lady I would use iron transfers on pillow cases. I would in large the picture and off to work on it for days. I would even use glass beads. A lot of work but the end results outstanding. Have a nice weekend to come.
I would love to put the little dog cowboy designs on the baby bumper pads that I am making for my future great- nephew.! I have always had horses and my nephew grew up riding them. He would love them on his future son's baby bedding!
I wold use it to make new tea towels for my kitchen, to replace my old ones that my grandmother stitched for me. I held off using them for over 15 years because I was afraid to ruin them, but I forgot to tell my husband that!
if embroidery is in a frame like a hoop or something than you can cover it and make it look nice. for something like a towel, it usually just goes unfinished so the back side doesn't look as nice and neat but that's just how it is. If you look at all the vintage towels and handkerchiefs with hand embroidery at an antique store, and look at the back, it's the same way. We just pretend it doesn't exist and keep the towel folded so you only see the right side.
songbyrd0001 I've never really seen anyone back it before so I don't think it's typical. I guess you could if you really want to but realize you'll probably see those stitches on the right side of your towel or project. I'm just really careful with it and hand wash it.
Professor Pincushion thank you for your response. I suppose if I were making apparel which featured this kind of embroidery would need some backing or lining to protect the stitches. Thank you again! I love your videos ^___^
I've never seen any transfers that would work on dark fabric, but I understand what you're saying. It can be pretty frustrating if you want to embroider on something dark blue or black. Luckily, there is a solution but you'll need a printer and scanner. Take your embroidery image and scan it or pull up on image on your computer. Print it on the right side of pellon's stick-n-washaway (www.joann.com/542s-stick-n-washaway-%E2%80%94-5-sheets/12142311.html). This product conveniently comes in a 8 1/2 X 11" size so it fits in standard printer. After it prints on the textured side (not the paper side), roughly around your image, peel off the paper backing and stick it to your fabric. Now you can just embroider your image as normal. When you finish, you'll need to run the embroidery under water and you'll notice the stabilizer will start to washaway like magic, leaving just your stitches behind. I've used this technique several times and it works like a charm :)
not with something like towels or hankies. If it's a different project like embroidery inside a frame or embroidery hoop then I usually put on a cover.
Just curious . I don’t know how to sew but just want to transfer the design and leave it. That’s not possible right ? Like the design won’t stay if I just leave it and not sew over it?
From a hot iron transfer? It should stay. I don't know if it'll eventually fade out after a number of washes but I've made mistakes with transfers before and was never able to get my goof out of the fabric. Also, you can use a hot iron transfer and then use fabric paint on the designs instead of thread. It's a little old school but might make a cool design more permanent. Good luck! :)
Are there any products where you can put your own design onto the transfer paper and then transfer it? Like if I wanted to put a specific image down to embroider?
Xalliumm You can get a transfer pencil which you draw on tracing paper and then iron it onto your fabric. It didn't really work well for me and my images seem to smudge. What I do instead is a print my image on printer paper, tape it to a bright window, tape my fabric over and trace image with a fabric marker. This works best with lighter color fabric. good luck!
you can put it near bright light and leave it for a while maybe 1 day until it fades out, or wash in HOT water. I have used Tide or any Stain removing spray and take it out
Yes, but then you can iron't on the design and will have to draw it on. tape the fabric over your paper design onto something like a window and then just draw directly on the fabric with a pencil. It's time consuming but that's how I do it
I've never seen that before so I don't think it exists unless you find a simple embroidery one that has X's. I think doing it on cross-stitch fabric and trying to make sure the fabric boxes line up with the pattern would be too hard and maybe that's why.
I love iron on transfers but haven't embroidered in years. This helps me try again. Thanks

I would love to make these for my aunt that has a dog day care business. i would make them on towels, dog beds, blankets. these are soo cute!
This had all the missing information I needed. The stem stitch and the french knot. Great video!!
I use these a lot and fussy cut to make quilts. so cute
My daughter adores doggies! Especially the cute ones! T-shirt or a dress would be a perfect item to have it on. Thank you

Hi I am new. How would you enlarge a pattern please and thank you

Thank you. Your instructions are so clear and easy to follow.
This would be great on the front part of the purse or on the towels. I like it and it is cute.
Howdy!! I would luv these for my grandsons pillows We reside in Sweltering TX!!
I wold use it to make new tea towels for my kitchen, to replace my old ones that my grandmother stitched for me. I held off using them for over 15 years because I was afraid to ruin them, but I forgot to tell my husband that!
Thank you for your clear instructions 🙏🏽
I would love to make a little bed for my dog with that design on it.
Cool! Well have to implement this into a design somewhere.. Like my10 month old sons clothes... Off to create!
You are so helpful in all of your videos. And your nails always look sooo pretty :-)
dmaria0282 Thank you so much. I'm glad that you're enjoying our tutorials :)
How can you print your designs in the first place? Do you use the Avery iron on transfer paper?
It would be nice to see how you finished the back.
if embroidery is in a frame like a hoop or something than you can cover it and make it look nice. for something like a towel, it usually just goes unfinished so the back side doesn't look as nice and neat but that's just how it is.

We just pretend it doesn't exist and keep the towel folded so you only see the right side.
I would make kitchen towels. I grew up with Days of the Week transfers! That's what my mother used to teach us to embroidery with.
This would look cute on baby bibs :)
Hello! I have a question can i use coco cloth to transfer design?
Thank you! this was very helpful :)
Would use for pillowcase dresses. Each twin would get her own doggie design.
This is a great tutorial! Would the design be backed to prevent any of the stitches getting caught or pulled? Thank you!
songbyrd0001 I've never really seen anyone back it before so I don't think it's typical. I guess you could if you really want to but realize you'll probably see those stitches on the right side of your towel or project. I'm just really careful with it and hand wash it.

this looks exciting.. thank you for the info I love it
non yourbuisness Thanks! Glad you love it :)
Can you tell me what kind of towels you used and where you got them. I got flour sack towels from Walmart and the weave is so loose and problematic.
Where can I buy this paper to print out my own design?
What materials are needed to do hot iron design brcause i'm beginner and this is my project for my H.E subject.
Hi I am new at this. I like a pattern but I can only get one. How can I use it again please and thank you
A 50's circle skirt
I bought these transfers but they are not for use with black cloth by chance they’re sells a ttransfer for black clothes ?? Thanks for your answers😉

But what if you can see the iron on design under it? Does it wash away?
Is there a way to cover the back of the embroidery (where the knots are)?
not with something like towels or hankies. If it's a different project like embroidery inside a frame or embroidery hoop then I usually put on a cover.
What type fabric to use if wanting to make quilt with 10"squares
for a quilt, you should use quilter's cotton. You can find it in solid or prints and it's 100% cotton

How do you remove iron on transfer (Aunt Martha's)
you can put it near bright light and leave it for a while maybe 1 day until it fades out, or wash in HOT water. I have used Tide or any Stain removing spray and take it out
Can you enlarge patterns with a ink printer?
Yes, but then you can iron't on the design and will have to draw it on. tape the fabric over your paper design onto something like a window and then just draw directly on the fabric with a pencil. It's time consuming but that's how I do it
You didn't show how to put the fabric in the circle thing
sorry about that. You can see me do it in my hand quilting tutorial: ruclips.net/video/6Dy65AHdVZY/видео.htmlm22s
Omg thanks I never done this before so wish me luck
Can types of papers
I like it...
Pattern link doesn't work
Thanks for letting me know, I updated the pattern link in the description. They changed their website.
What about something like socks :)
PalindromePrincess13 It's a pretty good size image so I would say it's too big for socks :(

How to do an iron transfer into counted Cross stitch pattern?
I've never seen that before so I don't think it exists unless you find a simple embroidery one that has X's. I think doing it on cross-stitch fabric and trying to make sure the fabric boxes line up with the pattern would be too hard and maybe that's why.
