Transferring Your Pattern To Fabric

• Print your pattern for the size of your hoop. This pattern was designed for a 6” hoop, but you can scale the image to your desired size with your printer
options

• There are multiple ways to transfer your pattern onto fabric. I use two methods depending on what I'm making.

• Window Tracing: This requires no extra spending and very minimal effort. Tightly secure your fabric in your hoop. Hold it up on the window (for the
light coming through) with the pattern behind and trace with a finely sharpened pencil. After tracing, I flip the fabric around to stitch on the
front of the hoop

• Carbon/ Graphite Paper: You can buy carbon transfer paper from any craft store – it's usually cheap. Place the carbon paper face down on your
fabric, then the pattern on top. Trace it with the tool or use a pen. I find I use this method the most.

• I would trace the Black parts of the pattern, but the Blue lines can be optional. Read the pattern steps over to decide which
will work best for you!
