TRANSFERRING DESIGNS
Hot-iron Transfer
Some designs sold in craft stores are printed on thin transfer
sheets. These are called hot-iron transfers, the easiest among
the three methods. To use a hot-iron transfer, first remove
excess paper around the design, place the design on the
fabric, then pin at the corners. Make sure your flatiron is at low
setting before pressing it over an area of the design for a few
seconds. Lift the iron then move it to another area of the
design. Remember not to glide the iron over the design as this
can ruin the design.
Tracing Method
Designs may also be transferred using a tracing wheel and preferably
dressmakers carbon paper. However, when no carbon paper of this
type is available, ordinary carbon paper may be used. Utmost care
should be taken though in using the latter type as it can smear badly on
the fabric. Remember to use light-colored carbon paper if your fabric is
of a light color.
The steps in this method are as follows:
1. Place your design right side up on your fabric then pin at the corners.
Slowly insert the carbon paper or dressmakers carbon, carbon side
down, between the design and fabric.
2. Using a tracing wheel, go over the lines of the design.
3. You may also use a pencil or any sharp or pointed instrument to trace
the design.
Stamping
In transferring designs by stamping, you will
need soft absorbent cloth, indigo,
kerosene or petroleum, sheets of
newspaper, your perforated design, and
the fabric onwhich you want to stamp your
design. A perforated pattern of your
design is made by pricking holes along the
lines of the design.
STEPS
1. Form the
soft
absorbent
cloth into ball
2. Mix 1 part
indigo and 1
parts kerosene or
petroleum to
make a smooth
thin paste. This
will be your
blueing mixture
3. Spread sheet of
newspaper on a flat
surface. Lay the fabric on
the newspapers. Be sure
the warp and woof
threads of the fabric are
aligned.
4. Lay the
perforated pattern
smooth side up on
the part of the
fabric where the
design is to be
placed. Pin the
corners of the
design.
5. DIP THE BALL OF CLOTH
IN BLUEING MIXTURE. RUB
THE BALL OF CLOTH OVER
THE DESIGN IN ONE
STROKE OR DIRECTION
ONLY.
6. To check if the
design had been
correctly
transferred, lift one
corner of the
pattern carefully
7.When the design has been fully
transferred, remove the
perforated pattern. Using a small
amount of kerosene, clear the
design of unwanted imprints. Air
dry your finished work.
