However, if it's for one single easy stitch pattern then I just trace using my lightbox & a pencil or an archival quality pen (.01 or .05). <br />These transfer pencils work best on quilter's cotton fabric or muslin.

Creates a mess really. For items that are washable, I like to use the Super Solvy, Water Soluble Stabilizer.
