My 2 most used ways to transfer an embroidery design to fabric - Embroidery Supplies Bundle

[@elisabethsherwood5534]

Thanks for telling us about Stick N Stitch. Love the concept!

[@ritabrandow1318]

Thank you for I am a Beginner 71 years young and I am glad I subscribed to yourchannel

[@snicky58]

That fluffy towel trick is GENIUS! ❤

[@jocelynecoutu348]

Just got a call from one of my friends asking me if I know how to transfer a design on material to embroider it. So I went on U tube and found your video I was so happy to send her your video. She call me back so so happy 😀 about your video and said that’s exactly what I was looking for. So thank you and please continue your good work. 👍

[@betsieletterle5950]

Your video is terrific! It's short, sweet and to the point and keeps the viewers attention. I'm a newbie to embroidery and I've been looking for a way to transfer the pattern. The Sulky Stick N Stitch looks like a winner! Thank you for your video!

[@carolinebrooke3107]

Just a point worth mentioning - when using stick n stitch, always wash and dry your fabric before you begin. This avoids the problem of shrinkage.

[@martabatista512]

This is a new hobby for me. I am just starting. I am trying to gather everything I need so that I can get started. This is a nice video. I learned about the stick to fabric choice. Thank you

[@kaydavis6943]

Thank you for explaining this so well. I’m new to embroidery and just love it! Have watched many tutorials but I find yours easy to understand and very comprehensive. Please continue your great work!

[@melindall05]

Omg! Thanks for sharing this! This is the best tutorial for the different ways to transfer designs. Thank you so much

[@marciabranch2987]

Thank you! I just started embroidery a few weeks ago and came across your video this morning and what a video to wake up to!! You just made transferring so much easier for me, I have been really struggling with that part of it and trying to figure out and "easier way" and you provided it. Have a great day, Alyssa!

[@carolyndaughton3373]

I'm so happy I found your channel. Your video was so enjoyable to watch and really thorough. I had never heard of the stick and stitch product before. Very fun! Thank you.

[@Loki-and-Thor]

I used to draw freehand on my fabric with a pencil. This looks much easier. Thank you. I’m just starting embroidery as I used to cross stitch and found this really helpful.

[@maryanndennis3452]

I wasn't sure how to transfer a pattern to fabric, but you cured that. I don't have a printer, but the Sulky Stick & Stitch is a great item to use. Think i see a printer/copier in my future.😏

[@EmbroideryArtbyNat]

If you don't have a printer you can transfer the pattern by hand using the light from your window or some lamp, it's pretty transparent and you can see the lines through it.

[@nancypahl7755]

I used Stick 'n Stitch for embroidering onto crochet hats. It worked great.

[@Penguinandfish]

ooo, that's a great idea! Thanks for sharing.

[@anahidheemstra8077]

Hi thank you so much for explaining all the steps and I like the new stick and stitch paper very creative idea all the best Anna

[@cedesLifestyle]

one other tip you can also use a soft toothbrush to brush it off in the water i do it and it works as well and really get the stick off from between the stitches .

[@monicakenyon4319]

you ask what would I like in a bundle. I would love something a bit more modern and racy. I was never interested in embroidery, always thought of it as an old fashioned craft, even though im crafty and make a lot of my own products. But a few years ago I got interested but yet have done anything except buy thread and needles. And what got me interested was an embroidered pillowcase a saw of a women's naked curves from upper thigh to mid waist with her female "part" being covered with a burst of flowers. Iv been intrigued ever since would love to do something of this sort. Sure im not alone in this

[@klimcy6]

Hi, thank you for sharing these tips. Can you guide me in terms of what fabric to use for embroidery specially to make hair bows

[@barbaramims2313]

Thanks for this tutorial. I like the looks of this product and will probably give it a try. Your teaching style is easy/pleasant.

[@Penguinandfish]

I love it! Let me know what you think of it if you give it a try.

[@joannemcgrath3436]

Beautiful design and helpful information this was the easiest and best presented and easy to follow out of the 5 I watched

[@Lise1805]

For the supply bundle: ditto on comments already made.. what needle to use based on fabric and thread used. Have been looking in Joann's for your kits - nothing yet. Like your designs as they are simple with basic stitches yet so very elegant..am specially swayed by all your animals. Will get your cats when the kits are at Joann's - among others of course! I purchased a large light box to transfer my designs and it makes it that much easier to trace than using a window as I had before. Thank you for sharing your talents with us! Cheers!!

[@jk1490]

STICK AND STITCH thank you for teaching me about this! I can’t wait to try it!!!!

[@carolynwatts2942]

Where can you purchase the Stick N Stitch (Sulky)? Tjank you in advance ♥️👍

[@jk1490]

Carolyn Watts I got it on Amazon!

[@carolynwatts2942]

Thank you

[@TheJudeJane]

Thanks for video. I am an artist and fortunate enough to have the ability to draw freehand and embroider over my designs. I came across your video and was fascinated indeed. Your other videos where you organized your floss was the first one that attracted me because it reminded me of what I do-LOL! I love making "paint boxes" with my floss, too!🎨Much continued success!

[@susanolson184]

I think the fabric pen, those cute scissors, and the proper needle would be great.! and whoah, fast embroidery!!!!! Love it!

[@janetcartland2683]

I was watching another one of your tutorials, and accidentally left it (I tried to thank you for mentioning the sulky totally stable iron on tear away stabilizer in regards to transferring artwork to fabric). I was hoping you could refer me back to that video. BTW it was a live tutorial as I could see folks were commenting during your session. I appreciate your attention to detail! I am learning a lot from you!!

[@Penguinandfish]

Is it this one, Janet? kzbin.info/www/bejne/roCUqJ6tfcibiaM&lc=Ugw2P90XDWfkkKg4-pN4AaABAg I use Sulky's Stick'n Stitch (formerly Sticky Fabri-Solvy) a whole bunch. It definitely pops up in other videos as well.

[@dianebyatt6283]

I would love to see a few different size needles with instructions. Oh yeah and a cute little needle keeper with Penguin and Fish on the front and you know the rest. Have a great day! Thanks for all your hard work .

[@geetanjalirawat86]

Thank you for the video..I had been struggling on how to remove those crinkles after washing the fabric... ❤️❤️

[@kathygray5495]

Thanks. I do alot of embroidery work..all have been traced. Or stamp..will try this method for sure 🪡🪡🪡🪡

[@lorrainepugh2005]

Hi! The truth is I am completely new to embroidery so at this point any information for me is important! One question I have is the type of fabric that is best for this craft, hoping we can find it here in Chile! Thanks for all what you share!

[@janeholland8460]

Usually it is recommended to use 100% cotton. I have also heard back from an embroiderer in South America who uses Panama cotton cloth. It looked like a heavier cloth. I would like to know what kind of cloth specifically she is using, too! Hope this helps. Also, I just read where she commented on someone else’s reply that she likes cotton muslin.

[@gingerjohnson3734]

A small pair of scissors, a pack of embroidery needles, a needle threader, a pin cushion for threaded needles, a six inch clear ruler with a magnifier down the center of the ruler, a transfer pen/pencil, a leather thimble because it fits most sizes, a small simple pattern like a flower or the sun with rays, and a small suggestion booklet suggesting type of fabric, thread, colors and/or uses, a 4-6 inch hoop and a short list of web sites where other patterns or information can be found.

[@marlenecapelle8560]

That Sulky stuff is great. I'd add a sample of that to the bundle and a stitch remover (because some of us take out as many stitches as we put in).

[@missiali]

❤ thanks for the fluffy towel tip

[@jwatley313]

Thats pretty neat it gets better and better!🌷

[@merrileeanderson523]

Love your work Alyssa- you make it look so easy and fun! I echo what others have said about needle size primer (I know I have needles that I certainly don't know what size they are or what their purpose is). Not that you want too many options but maybe a "build your own kit" where people can add the variety of items they want? That would also let you be flexible with patterns, people have lots of different tastes with that and some might want a hoop and others a tea towel? Can't wait to see what you come up with- no doubt it will be adorable! And I am reminded i have the hedgehog somewhere and MUST work on him!!! Best wishes!

[@Penguinandfish]

These are great suggestions, Merrilee. I love the idea of a variety kit and a special needle back of different needles. Those are both going on my list for new product idea. Thanks!

[@celinebridges7817]

Hey Alyssa 🤗 I ‘m brand new to your channel.. I came across your embroidery video... oh yes do a fun beautiful embroidery beginners kit.. I was trying to trace a pattern with a tea 🍵 cup and pot on a tea towel... that I got for Christmas gift . I got 12 different tea towels with patterns for each one .. wow what a surprise on me to learn to. Hand 🧵 embroidery....when I came across your great video.. great job .. Thanks for your help .. Blessing 👩‍🌾

[@GunsNRainbows]

Hello! I'm wondering if I use a stick and stitch on a sweatshirt, will I still need to use a stck-on stabiliserr on the back? or will that be too thick to stitch through? Thank you!!

[@fludrbywest3886]

This video was great ! Thank you for sharing❣️ your little kit’s are perfect , but for a beginner kit I would add a option maybe of the little scissors , a needle threader , a chart of different needles sizes and uses, the Faber solve for transfer Or a washable Pen , Just for the tools of a beginner I would think, oh if you had a deferent sizes of needles , a cool tool for needles are a vial to keep them in 😊

[@bobbiearmstrong1816]

Thanks for this video, it is exactly what I was looking for!

[@Caturra7540]

Hey! I just started on embroidery! Can you please tell me what kind of fabric you used for this work?

[@Paeoniarosa]

Does the stick and stitch work for more finely drawn patterns? Thank you

[@dc5730]

Thank you so much for this video! How can we transform a scan of a simple pencil drawing into a formal computer image like yours? Do you trace it with Adobe Illustrator?

[@Penguinandfish]

Yup. that's how I do it. I'll draw it on paper or on the Ipad, then I'll bring the sketch into illustrator. I trace it line by line with the pen tool making any adjustments along the way.

[@dc5730]

Penguin & Fish thank you so much for the reply!

[@rebeccafiveash4335]

I recommend Tulip needles as they are very strong and glide through fabrics easily. I have just started to use them and find they don't bend with use. Also needle case to keep them in like diff page for diff needles!!!! Not heard of stick n stitch. Would like to try. Scissor keeper would b great item to stitch to match case maybe

[@jeramy29j]

Thanks so much..Great video and I love the fact that you can just print your pattern Such a time saver

[@Penguinandfish]

For sure my fav way of transferring pdf patterns. So easy!

[@swalker7900]

I am relatively new to embroidery, and I am still uncertain about what needles to use with what threads. I also use a light fusible interfacing behind my fabric so that my darker threads don't show through the front. I guess what I am thinking about is a little (very basic) primer (or a chart) on needles, threads and fabrics along with a couple different needles and small amounts of various thread types. Must include the erasable pen (love that puppy), small scissors or thread snips, a simple pattern, and fabric to sew it on.

[@Penguinandfish]

Ooo, great ideas. I'll added a few of these in the bundle. Thanks!

[@sallymcmenamin9951]

A good needle threader for those of us who aren’t as young as we once were

[@kevinpaz1055]

So can I use the sulkies stick n stich on my crewneck sweater and then sew on to of it ?

[@charlenemunson1082]

A simple (not cartoonish) (maybe a sweet flower) pattern with a little bit of sulky to try. What needle with what thread and on what fabric. Like muslin, quilting cotton etc. Hoop (4" - 6"), needle threader, 3-4 different size needles, ten basic beginners stitches to work on pattern(s). Does transferring to sulky require an ink jet printer?

[@EvaIsabelS]

Thank you for the tips!

[@susanhart9923]

what would you use to transfer design to tulle or organza fabric?

[@blessyponnachen9528]

Hi I'm so obsessed with the frozen film . Both elsa and anna. I always think of ideas to stitch elsa mainly by embroidery. So can suggest some ideas to make it look like perfect and magical?. Hope you would answer me!

[@Penguinandfish]

You could add some metallic embroidery floss. That would make hair and snowflakes look super sparkly!

[@ginakendrick2581]

I’m totally newbie here but I just want tools and advise on how to transfer tiny doodle designs on my handmade linen letter pouch purses

[@mercedesvelasco8667]

This is so great! Can I still use interfacing while using the stick and stitch paper?

[@Penguinandfish]

Yup! It shouldn't affect the interfacing at all.

[@alliecreates6038]

What kind and size needle do you use? ALSO - the needle threaders i purchased continually break - ugh. Is there a tool that is more sturdy for threading the needle?

[@zachh6627]

If you’re doing this on like a T-shirt do you still need a stabilizer on the back or does the stick n stitch act as the stabilizer?

[@jenyurikouth4984]

Wow!nice. Good information. Thanks.

[@vijumenon5385]

Can you do the same thing of transferring with the Sulky sheet for cross-stitches?

[@loissanders2740]

When stitching Sunday- Saturday do you do those all the same color? I have Shaggy Maggie chores, on days of the week.Thought I might do the framework about days in wood tone and do letters in color in outfit, or should they all be the same?

[@Penguinandfish]

I think it would look very cute all the same color or different colors. I like the idea of a wood tone border. There's definitely no right or wrong answer. I think they'll look cute no matter what.

[@loissanders2740]

[@trafficcop01]

I really would like that machine to use in kutura garments that are so small and they make holes in the paper to transfer it to the fabric Do you know where I can get them please I need your help his leaves are natural that is the one I'm looking for

My problem, seeing a loose needle and not knowing by sight what it is let alone what size it is. I would like to see an "old school" made modern embroidery sampler!

[@msmith2945]

the stick and stitch is interesting, does it come in black fabric

[@Penguinandfish]

No, but it doesn't need to be. You stitch right through it and then it dissolves in water. So you can use a dark fabric or any other fabric that's hard to trace that's ok if it gets wet.

[@MnCraftingengineer]

How do we get a design inside another design like the flowers on cup?

[@marciagilbreath3239]

I would put in a good sized piece of backing fabric, 2 or 3 different small designs, a regular embroidery needle and a milliners needle, a stitch key for each pattern with simple instructions for the stitches used, and a small bundle of floss. Keep it inexpensive so newbies aren't afraid to lay out a lot of money only to find out that embroidery is not for them.

[@deborahs6063]

Loved this video on the Stick N Stitch product. Is there a specific size/brand embroidery needle that works well (or that you use) with this type of transfer method as you are actually going through 2 layers or doesn't it matter?

[@Penguinandfish]

I like using a size 5 embroidery needle. You want the eye of the needle large enought to be able to thread floss through it, and you want it to have a sharp point. Make sure it's an embroidery needle vs a cross stitch needle. An embroidery needle has a sharp point while a cross stitch needle has a blunt point which makes it hard to pull through fabric. The Stick'n Stitch is so easy to stitch through. I have no trouble pulling a needle through it.

[@tanaparamore6520]

What if you are using this on a back pack you can’t soak in water. Can you use a wet cloth to dissolve it.

[@Penguinandfish]

Hi, Tana. If you're using a fabric that you can't get wet, I would use a tear-away product. Stabilizers are categorized pretty much by how they go on and how they come off. I would look for one that you can hand baste to your backpack (so you'd want one that doesn't iron or stick on), and that you can tear off. It's finicky tearing the stabilizer off but with a fabric that you don't want to get wet, iron, and can't trace through, I think a tear away stabilizer is the way to go.

[@tanaparamore6520]

Penguin & Fish thank you so much for your fast response!!! Merry Christmas !!!

[@patriciapoole9983]

Where do u find your pattern at. ? This is super cute ......God bless

[@NibblyZ]

Just a quick question, I saw this somewhere online. Can you do the stick n stitch method with regular paper sort of attached to the fabric since paper dissolves too? Or would it not work the same?

[@Penguinandfish]

You could do it with paper, but paper is definitely thicker and heftier. If you're using paper, I would carefully tear away the paper when you're finished embroidering instead of trying to disolve it. I've heard of people using Glad "press'n seal" to do the same thing. With that you can see through it and see your fabric while you're stitching.

[@ArtByFE]

Thank you so much for the information!

[@mNc45778]

I need some patterns so I can trace them onto fabric

[@carolnartowicz4165]

I would use the light table or window method if you don't intend to get your piece wet or the thread is not colorfast. The color might bleed from the thread. I also use Pellon #SF101 on the back of piece. It hides all the running stitches and gives the piece some body.

[@GrandmaSezSo]

Found the stick and stitch on Amazon for a little over a dollar per sheet so it is not real economical. (for me) Does anyone know of a more feasible price for it?

[@camillecorlew4570]

Is there a machine that makes transfers from pictures like from a coloring book?

[@Penguinandfish]

I've only heard of transfers being made at big printing companies. I'm totally on the lookout for a personal printer version of making transfers.

[@blueblueberry4973]

Scan the page you want to transfer and then print it

[@masabataagnestlali8364]

I real like your work .💋💐😘😍😍😘😋🤗

[@irisphillips1694]

Thanks for sharing this information, it is very helpful.

[@1sassyspunky]

I would like to see your stork scissors, some needles in different sizes with a note when to use each one with what type of thread, a needle threader (I can't get the hang of the pinch thread) a sewing tin or something to hold everything. Perhaps a little pattern and directions, a Sulky sheet to try? I will like anything and everything you put together :) You could possibly do a basic kit and a deluxe kit - something for everyone? Thank you for a wonderful video.

[@sandhiyabalaji8596]

If the fabric is dark colour how can v trace

[@dianerizor6987]

my road block is what fabric do i use. do i use linen, cotton or something else. is this to light weight or what. if it's easy to see to trace wont it be too light weight for thread to show threw too.

Thanks a lot. Can you tell the name of this transfer pattern, the link in the description of embroidery supplies is not working. Kindly put a small link there.
