 I know I have blabbed on about these transfer pens in the past however, if you want to make a quilt or project with a specific appliqué or design motif and you need help transferring a design they work perfectly and you can easily transfer any design to cotton with these pens.   Images are everywhere on the internet and in colouring books, magazines etc.  A recent graphic I used recently  is shown below:

Once the design is transferred to cotton, you can then stitch on to your hearts desire!

 See my previous tutorial about how I have used these pens  in the past
 here

These pens have become my go to design transferring pens.  
​

You can find these pens below in a 4 pack for $19.00 CDN not bad works out to less than $5.00 each.
Another type of pen you can use as well are fabric markers to transfer designs
You will need:
  • a light box
  • a black and white  design
  •  white cotton
  •  fabric markers   
How to do this:
  •   Place the design on a light box (or window for light)
  •  Place the cotton fabric on top
  •  Trace your design with a fabric marker

The fabric markers I use are shown below and they are also very effective, they are approximately $24.99 for a package of 10 ($2.50 per pen). " Money Well Spent" as they say.
If you have either of these two types of pens at your disposal, you can transfer any design and the design possibilities for custom projects are limitless!
A gallery of projects I have done and used either the Sulky Iron-on Transfer Pens or the Fabric Fun Fabric Markers are shown below.  These pens were used to transfer the designs only!
The Crayon work on these quilts is a whole other blog post and stay tuned for a tutorial on that in the near future!!
Happy Thursday! Keep your Sun Glasses on! ☀️
