I detailed all this in last week’s article. I decided to run some fine linen fabric, affixed to a sheet of freezer paper, through my inkjet printer to see if the design would print. But it would take time and a lot of focus and care, and frankly, I was looking for an easy way out! It can be done, and it can be done by hand – I could meticulously trace it I could use prick and pounce. The problem for me was transferring this detailed image to the fabric in such a small space, the whole design being about 4″ high. To recap, the embroidery project is an embroidered book cover, and the image is a rather detailed one that is reduced in size to fit the cover. I know, I know! We’re always seeking the perfect (and easy and most painless) solution for design transfer – but there are several things to consider before settling on the inkjet printer as the ideal solution. If you jumped on the home-printing idea for embroidery patterns transfers, there are a few things you might want to know before you plunge headfirst into using your home printer for printing all your embroidery designs straight onto your fabric. Well, I continued with some experimentation, and I’ve chatted with some other stitchers about the subject since then and done a little more research and whatnot. Remember last week when we talked about printing embroidery designs on fabric, using a home printer?
