TIPS & TECHNIQUES: Transferring a Pattern Onto Fabric With Carbon Paper

[@louisaclayton8202]

Thank you ... it was helpful...

[@helenjzkkillick4097]

Thanks for that Kasia. I’ll order some carbon from you. One question - I’ve tried various white pencils for dark fabric without success - the lines are too faint. Do you have any recommendations please?

[@eddieb4890]

I use a tailors chalk pencil and that works really well

Do we get this carbon paper in india

[@jasmindairocas6980]

Is the carbon paper reusable? or should you use a new one everytime you transfer a pattern

[@fyrebeadz]

Carbon paper is usually re-usable.

Can you tell me how I transfer a pettern on cardigan ? Carbon is not working

[@kasiajacquot7831]

Hello, I can't advise you on this because I don't know what fabric your cardigan is made out of or what shape it is or what kind of pattern you want to transfer onto it or what tools you have. In the video you just watched it does talk about fabric which is the most important part of transferring a pattern. For example you can't use carbon paper on wool.

Then how can I show you what's my fabric and details. You can help me and I need that .give me some ideas for sharing my details. Thanks

Do you have Facebook group or page where I can post my pattern or cardigan picture.or can I email you with pictures?let me know please.

@@suraiyaety772 I do have a facebook group but it is only for members to share projects which are designed by me. I'm not actually available for private consultation on individual projects.

Does it wash off?

[@kasiajacquot7831]

The carbon paper lines can wash off if they're not too dark. So if you don't press too hard then they will wash out. But they should all be covered by the embrodiery anyway.
