Embroidering on wool felt can seem daunting, but with the right technique, it becomes a stress-free and enjoyable task. Here’s how you can easily transfer patterns onto felt and start your creative journey.
The Tissue Paper Method
The easiest way to transfer patterns onto felt is by using tissue paper. First, sketch or trace your design onto tissue or tracing paper. Next, use pins to attach the paper to the felt, securing it with as many pins as possible around the design to ensure stability. For intricate details, thread a needle with no more than two strands of thread. Remember, using a finer needle minimises the risk of tearing the paper, making your embroidery smoother.
