I think the issue of
transferring patterns and designs to fabric is one of the most
important ones that have to be addressed time after time, no matter
how seasoned the stitcher is. Because a successful/not so
successful/disastrous transferring will inevitably influence the
final result of your embroidery. And none of us wants our efforts to
go to waste, right? So, today I'd like to speak about one of the most
popular choices for transferring embroidery designs to the fabric:
water-soluble markers.
These pens have appeared
on the market a long time ago and have since earned love of many
stitchers and hate of many other stitchers. I belong to the
first group, but I also understand the frustration that the second
group has gone through – because I, myself, had sad experiences
with washable markers. But now I know that the problem was not in the
marker itself, but in my wrong way of using it! In this post I'm
going to share my mistake, tell you how I came to realize it and how
to fix it.
