Here's one I thought was worth sharing:<br /><br />I've been using a makeshift lightbox by placing a glass cutting board (any piece of glass really) over the top of a lampshade. (I have a couple standing lamps with wide shades.) Tape your pattern to the glass, place your fabric over it and trace.

Also, it acts as a stabilizer, which should be helpful on the hankie fabric.Molliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05919005875185335727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500979.post-65402416255049799292015-12-09T07:28:58.963-06:002015-12-09T07:28:58.963-06:00I am stitching white on white on 200 hankies.

Also, I need the finished product to look completely white, so the transfer will need to be able to be washed/ironed/etc. out. Or maybe a pale gray transfer would be light enough to be covered by the white thread?

You only need to reverse them for transfer techniques where you iron the design onto the fabric. Common tools that use this reversed image technique are: Sulky transfer pens, hot iron transfer pencils, traditional iron-on transfer patterns, or using photocopied images.<br /><br />I Molliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05919005875185335727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500979.post-65377657294089512872013-10-25T17:50:50.975-05:002013-10-25T17:50:50.975-05:00Hi Mollie!

Though I am wondering how important it is to transfer letter patterns / designs backwards. Would love to know how and when one needs to transfer letter patterns / designs backwards instead of the normal way of writing.

And you can just wash it away with water.

I hadn't thought of stitching on fleece, but that would be cute as an extra on the blankets I make for charity projects!<br /><br />By the way, you can also transfer a pattern to tear-away stabilizer (instead of the tracing paper) and stitch through that and your fabric. Tear away the stabilizer when done.
