Cute designs but poor transfer quality!Reviewed by D. Mcclurken, 2010-01-11
I purchased this book because I wanted to do some practice
embroidery designs before tackling a larger project, as I had not
embroidered in several years. This book had a variety of cute
designs that looked as if they would provide a wide range of stitch
usage.
I was very disappointed when I attempted to transfer the designs
onto my fabric. I followed the instructions exactly, prewashing my
fabric, allowing my iron to preheat, and heating up my fabric
before doing the transfer. Even with my iron on the highest setting
and applying heat long enough to discolor the paper, the designs
refused to transfer to my mid-color linen fabric. I found a piece
of muslin in my fabric box, which yielded better results, although
the designs were still very faint and difficult to see.
Additionally, as I worked the design, handling the fabric faded it
even further and in several places made it nearly impossible to see
the design outline before completing it.
I have worked with various embroidery transfers over the years and
have not experienced such difficulty. I would not recommend this
book.
cute designs - terrible transfer inkReviewed by K. Kitchener, 2009-09-12
This book has some really cute designs but they don't transfer well. The transfer image is pale and hard to see. I made sure the fabric was hot and the iron on the correct setting, but after repeated tries with different fabric and different designs I've given up. Sending the book to my granddaughter who will surely find a way to use it and I'll stick to Aunt Martha's transfers.
Good variety of eclectic patternsReviewed by Specifica, 2009-01-07
There is a lot to choose from in this collection. The transfers come through nice and dark. There are lots of ways to combine them and many different styles. I highly recommend this book!
Transfers to give your embroidery, etc. lots of ideasReviewed by Barbara Rhoades, 2007-09-28
With 36 pages of iron-on transfers to embroider, you will need to
put your thinking cap on so you can come up with great design
combinations of your own. Then put them on things like clothing,
linens, hats or handbags. When you run out of things to use them
on, think again! Only this time think appliqué, wood burning or
fabric paint! The ideas are endless.
Embroidery thread now comes in so many types from the "regular"
thread to metallics, jewels, antique pearlescent, fluorescent and
don't forget "glow in the dark". You will have so many ways to use
these transfers that you may not know where to begin.
The first two pages are general instructions on the basic transfer
of the patterns to making sure you have all the supplies you need
to begin. The next pages shows seven embroidery stitches with
graphics if you don't know how to do them or if you need to refresh
your memory. There is a six-page gallery of projects that have been
created using the transfers in 200+ FUN AND FUNKY EMBROIDERY
DESIGNS.
The transfers themselves range from cats, birds, insects, borders,
hearts, flowers, Southwest, seasonal, welcome signs and a whole
array of fonts. Combine several or use them alone. Outline or fill
them in. Do them in a single color or their actual colors.
The possibilities are never-ending. Grab a hoop and just begin!
