As a budget friendly tip, instead of an expensive light box, I use a Ferrero rocher tray or a hard clear plastic storage box (you can get them in slim A4 size). Fill the box with battery operated lights and you have an in expensive light box alternative. I use a slim stationary storage box and I store my work in it when I'm done. Christmas tree lights work fine if you have no other lights. I hope this helps.
This is a really useful video tutorial so thanks Sarah. I've looked at light boxes previously but there seems to be so many different types. What is the best kind for embroidery? TIA
Thank you so much for doing this video at normal speed and not filling up all the silence while you demonstrate the process with music. I love the stuff you share in your channel, and I follow many embroidery/appliqué/hand sewing/quilting/upcycling/mixed media channels… so many are highly edited and almost frenetic. I watched this while I cut out hexies by hand and it was a pleasant bit of calm crafty pleasure watching someone with more practice and skill without a ton of bells and whistles that spark nervous energy for me.
I am new to learning embroidery and all the many wonders that embroidery brings. Not sure why some gave a thumbs down though, because I really enjoyed watching this video, I could see that it was very well thought out with clear and informative instructions . Thank you for this. For a beginner of embroidery I learnt a lot today . 😀
Another way to transfer without a light box is to use a square/rectangle of clear hard acrylic / perspex. Set the perspex down on a stable surface. Turn your phone torch on. Put the phone under the perspex, torch light up, and place pattern on the perspex surface. Stick the pattern to the perspex with a couple pieces of washi tape, place fabric on top and holding firmly in place, trace the pattern design with your preferred marking tool
I've been muddling through for years thinking I knew what I was doing and some design transferring turned out ok and some I just gave up on. Brilliant video Sarah you are so generous with your information and tips, it's just like learning in a classroom situation which is just what I needed. The sound is perfect too and no music so I don't miss any of your perfect demonstrations. Thank you so much, Sue from Yorkshire .
Absolutely loved Pinky’s entrance!!!! 😹💕 She’s gorgeous! And also loved the fact that you didn’t move her away. I’m exactly the same with my gorgeous boy, Simon 🐾🐈⬛🫶
A little tip. Friction pens work great for needle point and if you don't have a light box you can use a glass table and lamp underneath the table to transfer the pattern.
Pinky is awsome. I can not do any needle work without my 2 cats approval. They usually decide to sit DIRECTLY in front of my camera or directly ON my design. Gotta love them
Sorry Sarah but Pinkie was definitely the star of the show. I'm definitely going to give the prick & pounce method a go when I get brave enough to try dark fabric.
Thank you for showing us all of these techniques!!! I hate to tell ya, but Pinky stole the show!!! I loved the way she just gazed at the camera and smiled!!!! 😁
Pinkie is a natural born star! I love the use of different colour thread for each element in the tacking technique. Thank you again for your very clear explanation.
This is great! The transfer paper method is the one I’ll try since I have it at home. I spent too many minutes on UA-cam & the internet looking for white washable transfer pens. 😒 as usual, many thanks Sarah!!
Hi Sweetie! Just got home and watching your video in full!!! 🥰🌺❤️ Your paper scissors are so cute and I’ll tell you a little secret about the game rock, paper, scissors: Use paper on your first move - you’re more likely to win! ❤🎉🎉🎉
When we were kids, in the fifties and sixties, we would go over our designs with biro and transfer with an iron. It worked really well but may have run a tiny bit when washed. That pen looks brilliant. This is really interesting, thank you.
I did the prick and bounce process and used freezer paper I ironed on then dusted the powder this was good as nothing moved thank you for the different ways to trace 😊
This is great and super well explained, just starting embroidery and getting my own patterns instead of the kits and this madness me so much more confident ❤️
@@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery Yes, that much: I've been copying images to fabric with freezer paper ironed onto fabric...which often mucks up my printer! Now I know how to transfer images to dark fabric. I also learned how to knot my thread like you do (on top) and then stitch down a few stitches under the stitched object and cutting off the ugly knot) so the back and front look neat. And the tissue paper idea is fabulous. I've used regular paper; parchment paper and interfacing with very unimpressive results. Bless you!
Sarah, you are a very good--calm, efficient, knowledgeable and very articulate in explaining the various methods of transferring. Transferring can be fairly problematic sometimes but its so important. Thank you and thumbs up to all the methods you have tried out.
I sew and knit and cross stitch a lot. I M trying to break into embroidery. I would love to gift friends and family with embroidered totes and little bags. I find your tutorials so good. Thankyou ❤
Thank you so much for the patient explanations! I'm a brand new baby embroiderer and I literally took notes during your video! So helpful and thorough and I loved the addition of Pinky! I have an exhibitionist cat Alex who would do the exact same thing if I was making a video! Much appreciation from California!
What a fantastic straightforward explanation, and a joy to listen to. So refreshing not to have every step prefaced with ‘what we’re going to do is…we’re going to go right ahead and…’ And I’m in love with Pinky! Thank you, Sarah, I’ll be trying a couple of these techniques to see what works for me, as I try to prove I’m not totally hopeless at embroidery.
I do embroidery on and off and always love to have your videos in the background as company. Your channel is by far the best I have come across. Your opinions when testing new items etc. are totally unbiased which I love, for example when testing multipack cheaper embroidery threads instead of DMC or Anchor. Some 'skilled' embroiderers would poo poo these and say they were not up to standard. I have bought many of these kits and always enjoy using them. My preferred method to transfer a design is to use a light box or transfer using graphic copy paper. I use these methods most times and also use a water soluble pen for smaller free style transfers. I usually use Pinterest to source a design idea and then draw it onto paper and tweak it to suit my needs. I am glad I saw this video today because I have never heard of a heat transfer pen to iron the design on with. I shall get one and see how I get on with it. I also smile every time when one of your cats decides to invade the recording. Thank you Sarah for all you do for the embroidering community. It is very much appreciated and thank you also to Jonathon for recording them.
I have been looking for a video like this for so long, thank you!! Love that there are actually more options out there besides tracing because there are so many instances where tracing just doesn't work (like trying to embroider a jacket) Thanks again!
Yes, that is why I wanted to watch this video-I have a linen jacket that the cleaners got a solvent stain on so, even though it’s old I want to swap out the buttons, trim & come up with my own pattern for the back.
its so funny and typical of a cat. I have six cats and they are always next to me while I'm doing artwork, watching tv, getting something to eat lol, and on my bed. My beloved kitties.
I just bought my first embroidery supplies an hour ago and yours was my first video. The applause when Pinky arrived was hilarious. That alone would have made me subscribe! Thank you for the laughs and the great tutorial.
You are a great instructor. Everything is easy to follow, and your instructions are precise and succinct. Thank you so much for sharing. I wanted interesting stitching on the spines of my handmade books.
Hi Sarah, we love your videos and are excited about getting started. Wendy from Camelot Crafts said hi to you when we bought fabric from her yesterday for our embroidery. Please explain where your “link below” is to obtain your butterfly and acorn PDF patterns. We have searched but can’t find it. We look forward to your reply. Regards, Glen and Angie.
If you scroll down there is a description below the video Glen and Angie with info and links. You may only get the first few sentences and have to click 'show more...'
Hello Sarah I haven't embroidered in years and have recently started a new project. I want to write my great granddaughter's name on top of a Christmas stocking that I'm making for her. Can I embroider on velvet and if so, what method of transfer would you suggest. The velvet is red and I want to use white embroidery thread for the writing. Thank you. BTW, I've been refreshing my memory by watching your videos. They are sooooo helpful.
Not to be a nanny, I love your videos! But be sure your cat don't get them cut threads on her fur or in her mouth because if a thread gets in their mouth, it can wrap around the back of tongue and cause them to choke due to the tangle, and cause them to eventually wind up with water in the lungs from them choking on their saliva, eventually causing them to go into convulsions and it may be to late to save them by a vet. Saw this happen to a woman's cat that got a thread in its mouth, and she didn't realize that until it was to late. The cat wont be able to eat or drink. I'm mentioning this because I care about you and your beloved cat.
Thank you. This was extremely helpful. I have several projects which I haven't started because I couldn't imagine how to go from concept to transferring the concept to fabric. Here you have given my vision scope for becoming reality. I appreciate your to-the-point presentation.
Are iron on patterns acceptable to use? I found some at an old fashioned "Five & Dime" store for 25 cents each package - so of course, I bought quite a few.
Hello, I too am new to embroidery and loved this video. How and where can I purchase the punch and dust technique? Unfortunately I could not see the information you provided for that.
Pinky looks so much like my Katie Ann who is also most ‘helpful’ with my crafting projects! Thank you for sharing Pinky and a very informative tutorial!
My grandmother taught me to use a real silver spoon and to lay the blank material over the design and rub the spoon on it. The oxidation was used to transfer the pattern. It needs to be a real silver sooon, not stainless-steel.
Thank you Sarah! This was very informative. I do have a question about the linen used in the 1st method. Did you used an embroidery linen or a counted linen?
Hi Sarah. I’m having such a hard time transferring to a canvas backpack, a Fjallraven Kanken specifically. It’s not just regular canvas, it’s a waterproofed canvas so it can’t take any heat and can’t be vigorously washed as that will damage the waterproofing. On top of all of this (I know, I know), I am terrible at any freehand drawing. Any ideas for what I can do?? There are any number of Kanken embroidery tutorials but they all freehand draw the design. I would appreciate ANY HELP or tips that you can offer!! Thanks in advance.
I think you need the prick and pounce method Kara, the powder shou;d stay on long enough for you to join up the dots and you don't need to do any freehand drawing! Just a thought, if you embroider on a waterproof fabric, do the holes not make it..not waterproof?!
Your videos and tips are improving my embroidery 100% , thank you so much.Now, sorry for being out of topic: you are wearing a blue bluse that goes so well with the beautiful pannel on the wall, very pleasing to warch.Is it embroidery also or print? Many greetings from Germany.😗😗😗😗
It's a hand printed Ajrakh block print from Gujarat in India Muhlenstedt! You can buy them from our shop here, the sales of which go to help out my artisan friends in India at this difficult time for them... www.sarahhomfray.com/myshop/cat_1715269-Ajrakh-hand-printed-stoles.html
@@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery Thank you Sarah, I have bought two of them now. The shipping to Germany is a little hihg and problable I will have to pay extra customs taxes but I think it is worth of it: The prints are very beautiful and it is a good feeling when I know it helps indian people a little.
Thank you for your support Rita, they have just had a cyclone go through Gujarat which has knocked out power to many COVID hospitals so they really need all the help they can get right now. I marked your items as a gift so hopefully you didn't/won't have to pay any extra x
@@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery they are really in a bad situation, it is so sad. Thank you for marking the items as a gift. I ll by more next month.Many greetings
As a budget friendly tip, instead of an expensive light box, I use a Ferrero rocher tray or a hard clear plastic storage box (you can get them in slim A4 size). Fill the box with battery operated lights and you have an in expensive light box alternative. I use a slim stationary storage box and I store my work in it when I'm done. Christmas tree lights work fine if you have no other lights. I hope this helps.
Nice!
Wow!
Great idea!
Added incentive to get that Ferrero Rocher! "I needed the box!"
Only half of my lighbox is bright as it only has one bulb and it's at the side. What a brilliant idea, Christmas has come early!
Another great video Sarah, thank you.... and the video-bombing Pinkie is a star💫
I paused the video at 24:41, absolutely hilarious!
This is a really useful video tutorial so thanks Sarah. I've looked at light boxes previously but there seems to be so many different types. What is the best kind for embroidery? TIA
Michael Angelo used the prick and pounce method for the Sistine Chapel.
He did indeed. And he did it above his head!
@@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery while laying down. Can you imagine the discomfort. Lucky Italian is such an expensive language 😜

A little tip. Friction pens work great for needle point and if you don't have a light box you can use a glass table and lamp underneath the table to transfer the pattern.
friction pens as in the name brand pens or a completely different thing?
I really love your videos, they are simply to follow and so relaxing 😌

Also, I love the patience with Pinky and her taking over the spotlight haha
Her appearances are rare, so she gets indulged!
I love Pinky too. haha
Pinky cracked me up! lol.. The way she just turned around a looked into the camera. Too funny. You gotta love cats.
We have four barn cats; I couldn't stop laughing!!
Wonderful demonstration. To be honest...I loved Pinkey's appearance just as much. Very much unexpected. haha

Hi ....could not help but comment about the fabric in the background..is it a block printed natural dyed ajrakh fabric?
It is, see my video on Indian Textiles with Gautam!
Are iron on patterns acceptable to use? I found some at an old fashioned "Five & Dime" store for 25 cents each package - so of course, I bought quite a few.
Absolutely!
The pricking method would also work using an untreated sewing machine.
YES Thank you for NO music. )))))
