I agree Kathy; the designers should think about their customers
how much they charge for the patterns;
we all should e=mail them.

I too think it's a pain to have to do this after the cost of some of the patterns but it seems to be a trend with some companies to do their patterns non-transferable. I have used the pens that was out after stitching but I can't always get a clean enough line with them so it depends on the patterns.

I use a make up sharpener, and don't actually try to sharpen the "lead" but just get rid of the access wood around the "lead".

I use a light box for transferring embroidery patterns all the time and really like it. I just use the tracing pen that washes out after embroidery is done. For me, this works like a charm. Like Kathy says, lay down the pattern, then the fabric and trace.
Hope you find something that works well for you!

I like to get a iron on pencil and just trace on to tissue paper and that way I can iron it a few times.

Thanks from me also Kathy. It sounds a lot easier than I thought it was. I have several patterns to transfer.

thank you Kathy
it is so frustrating to have to do that ; especially when you pay so much money for the pattern in the first place.

I use a light box all the time. Put the pattern on the light box and the fabric over it and trace onto the fabric with a pencil. I sometimes will tape the fabric to the light box so it doesn't move but other than that it's simple. You can use something other then a pencil but that's what works best for me.
