Get your desired image in the desired size. Who cares if you run out of printer paper? Rip a sheet out of the kids' notebook and use that instead. Trace the outline using the transfer pencil.
Flip the paper over and iron using high heat.
Admire the successful transfer. Woo hoo!
Lament not centering the design better on the linen. It's a little too close to the hoop. Quickly forget about lamenting because it's working! It's working, working, working!!!!
I bought my transfer pencil at Pacific Fabrics--where creative dreams come true. And sometimes they really do. Yes indeedy.

Cute scooter!
what a cool idea! i just found your blog and i love it1 i'll be back to visit again!
Dang, that's brilliant! I have to have one of those!
Does anyone know if you can use it on a sewing pattern? Will the iron ruin the think paper? I was thinking you could use this to iron a pattern to the fabric so you don't have to cut the pattern out. Then you can use all the sizes and preserve the pattern.

I.AM.IN.LOVE. with your blog! Thanks so much for all the great tutorials! I am just North of Seattle, and I would LOVE if you could give me an idea where you got the filling for your bean bag chair? I don't know where to look...I am hoping to make my boys some for X-mas, but am trying to figure out if it would be cheaper to just buy them! If you would give me an idea of where to look for the filler I would be really greatful!
I got the filler at Fred Meyer. :)
