How to transfer embroidery designs to fabric


1.Drawing method:

Those who are good at drawing can easily trace the design in this way.You can take a white color marking pencil (apsara glass marking pencil) and draw the design shown here directly on the cloth with your free hand.Marking pencil is available in any stationary shops or aari material shop.

2.Carbon paper method:

This method is a very easy method. With this method you can easily trace any design, even very big and complex designs too.These carbon papers are available in different colors like yellow, red, white, blue and black.You can purchase these carbon papers from any local stationary shops or from Amazon.We have to choose light color carbon paper for dark color fabrics and dark color carbon paper for light color fabric.So that we can see the design clearly on fabric.To trace the design using carbon paper, first we have to place the fabric on hard, flat and smooth surface.Then place the carbon sheet on the fabric. Here place the carbon side down on the fabric.Then place the tracing design on top of the carbon sheet.Here pin these sheets to the fabric, so that they don't move while tracing the design.Then trace the design using pen or pencil.

Purchase embroidery materials from any local aari material shops or from Amazon.

3.Light Method:

This method is also a very easy method.To trace the design in this way,we need transparent glass or else you can use glass table or glass tea table.First place the tracing design on top of the glass table.Here you can tape this tracing design to the glass table so that it won't move while tracing the design.Then place the fabric on top of this tracing design.Then place any light source under the glass table so that we can clearly see the design on the fabric(Here you can use mobile light or small torch light).Then trace the outline of the design using color marking pencil.

4.Tracing wheel method:

This method is also a very easy method.The main problem with this method is if we long press the tracing wheel then the tracing paper will be destroyed.We can not reuse this tracing paper again.So, before tracing the design in this method, we should keep another copy of the tracing design.So that, we can reuse the design later.To trace the design in this method, first place the fabric on hard,flat and smooth surface.Then place the tracing design on the fabric.Then draw the outline of the design using tracing wheel, it will mark a dotted line on the fabric.Then draw on the dotted outline of the design using color marking pencil.

5.Prick method:

Trying this method is a bit time consuming but also a bit difficult.To trace the design in this way, we must first make holes on each line of the design on the tracing sheet we have traced.Use a normal machine needle or electric pen to make the holes in this way.Once the punching is complete, prepare the tracing powder mixture to trace the design.This tracing powder mixture should be made by mixing tracing powder and a little bit of kerosene.Now we need to place the tracing sheet with holes on the fabric wherever we want to trace it. Then dip any waste cloth or cotton in the tracing powder mixture we made earlier and rub it on the tracing sheet.Rub at least two or three times in this way so that the mixture goes through all the holes and the design is clearly visible on the cloth.The tracing sheet should be lifted after applying the tracing powder mixture throughout the design. As  soon as we lift the tracing sheet we do not see the design on the fabric.Five minutes later the kerosene slowly evaporates and the white dotted design becomes clear to us.

These are the five best and easy ways to trace the design on fabric.You can choose any one of the method to trace the design.
