No matter where those free embroidery designs are found they must be transferred to fabric. Ordinary baby powder, tracing or velum paper, a #10 embroidery needle, and a mechanical pencil will do the job. Transferring free embroidery designs is a two-step process. The first task is to create a dotted outline of the pattern which, secondly, will be drawn in greater detail. To stabilize tracing papers and free embroidery designs pin or weight them down on the fabric.
