It is sometimes necessary to transfer the picture to the fabric when performing some types of embroidery, as well as for applique work. Not all embroideries are made according to the translated pattern. For example, a picture with a cross or a tapestry stitch is performed according to the scheme. Ornaments also do not always need to be transferred to the fabric, they can be performed with various counting stitches. But for a satin stitch painting, it is sometimes necessary to apply a pattern to the fabric.
It is necessary
- - copy pencil;
- - tracing paper;
- - copy paper;
- - a simple pencil or ballpoint pen;
- - tailor's pins;
- - cotton swab;
- - mortar and pestle;
- - a piece of chalk.
Instructions
Step 1
One of the oldest methods is carbon paper transfer. True, now such paper can not be bought everywhere. But some departments that sell office supplies still have it. One pack of 10 sheets will be enough for you for a long time, because the carbon copy can be used many times.
Step 2
A picture for embroidery can be found in a handicraft book or on the Internet. If you have a book and do not want to spoil it, first transfer the drawing to tracing paper. Be careful and circle absolutely all the lines. Pay close attention to small details.
Step 3
Place a sheet of carbon paper with the ink side down on the piece of fabric. Place tracing paper with a drawing on the carbon paper. Position the design exactly where it will be on the fabric. Pin off all three layers with tailor's pins. It is not necessary to chip around the entire perimeter. You only need to ensure that the drawing does not move out.
Step 4
Circle the drawing on tracing paper with a sharpened simple pencil or ballpoint pen. Remove pins and all paper from the fabric. If you did everything correctly (that is, put the carbon copy with the layer that you need to the fabric), then you got the outline of the drawing in the same color as the carbon copy. When copying a drawing from the Internet that you enlarged and printed, operations with tracing paper can be omitted.
Step 5
If you don't have carbon paper on hand, try another traditional method. Transfer the drawing to tracing paper, regardless of whether it is from a book or printed. Place tracing paper along the edges of the fabric. Sew the outline of the pattern with a needle-forward seam in small stitches. It is better to take contrasting threads or to match the future embroidery. Remove the paper.
Step 6
Chips can be done differently. In the same way as in the previous method, transfer the drawing to tracing paper. Make punctures along all lines with a needle. The holes should be as close to each other as possible. Place tracing paper over the fabric.
Step 7
Grind the chalk into a powder. If the fabric is dark and you have toothpaste on hand, use it. Dip a cotton swab into the powder and trace along all the lines of the drawing. Press down on the swab, but not very hard. The powder should fall into the holes. This method requires chalk in a contrasting fabric color. If the fabric is white, use colored chalk; if colored or black, use white.
