hand embroidery using clip art.?
I have a clop art for a soccer ball. How do I transfer this onto material to hand embroider for a gift to my grandson.
I have yet to find on the interent any free hand embroidery to transfer.
What I have done is print the mirror image (flipped horizontally) on regular paper. You have to have the fabric you are embroidering ready to go as soon as it comes off the printer when the ink isn't entirely dry. Take an iron on light steam and press the image face down onto the fabric. Once you've done that, while keeping the paper from moving, gently rub the back side of the image against the fabric with a dull pencil or other dull object. It should transfer a light image to work from.
Another method is to print the image (not mirror image), lightly color in the back side of the ball with a pencil. Cut out the ball, tape it to the fabric and on a flat hard surface, draw around the lines of the ball with the same pencil. When you peel the paper off, the image will be transfered. Any left over pencil markings will wash out.
Or you can go buy special pricey stuff from Hobby Lobby. I've never tried any of the transfer products. I figured this out and it works great for me.
