 I'm currently working on a lovely pattern called Simple Sewing Folder by Lauren of Molly and Mama. The pattern is due to be released soon and I really recommend it. All of Lauren's pattern are beautiful but this one really spoke to me because of the embroidery. Over the years, I've tried lots of different methods of transferring embroidery designs to fabric, from heat transfer pencils to trying to print from my printer onto the fabric. But the method that works best for me is using a Lightbox and a water erasable pen. Clover very kindly sent me some water erasable pens to try so I thought I'd do a little review of them here. I only share products I really like and that I think you will like too.     Clover make a thick and a fine pen. This is great because you have a choice over what sort of line you will need. I chose to use the fine pen and it was perfect for transferring this design. I taped the design to the Lightbox, placed the fabric on top and taped it down, switched it on and traced the design. The pen was very smooth across the fabric and I had the design transferred in no time!   I've used other brands of water erasable pens in the past and it's always taken 2-3 washes with cold water to remove the lines. However, the Clover pen washed out on the first wash and I was delighted with the results. This design was a pleasure to stitch and now I can't wait to finish the sewing folder.  What method do you use for transferring embroidery designs?

I have just found your blog today and am thrilled with all of the posts, I love EPP and Liberty fabrics. I recently switched to using Aurifil 50 for EPP and now won't use anything else, nneedlewise it is just whichever is thin and sharp but I do need to try and find a good kind and keep them separate, I will look for your Clover recommendation. When transferring embroidery designs (which I rarely do) I have used a fine pencil, terrible I know but I seem to hide it with my stitching. I have heard lots of things about water-soluble pens not coming out properly and been too chicken to try them. happy stitching. x Hello Kay, thank you so so much for your lovely comment, you've made my day! I'm so glad you've enjoyed my posts. I understand your concern about the water soluble pens. I've used a brand in the past which took a good few washes to remove it. The ink would travel through the fabric if you know what I mean, but it eventually washed out. This Clover one was truly the best I've ever used and came out first time perfectly so I can assure you that if you do try it, it will work well. Have a lovely day 12/11/2020 12:40:03 pm

Cap digitizing is the process of converting an image or design into a digital embroidery file that can be used to embroider a design onto a cap or hat. This process involves using specialized software to convert the image into a format that can be read by an embroidery machine, which then uses this file to stitch the design onto the cap using thread.
