Hmmm. If you can get ahold of a white or yellow transfer pencil and trace your pattern with that on a new paper and iron it on, it should show up easy enough. Sounds like a beautiful project!
Wow Deb - that brings back memories. When I was in high school I embroidered two jeans jackets - both were completely covered when I finished. For most of it I did song lyrics in tiny little letters, so I did those free hand, it looked really cool from a distance. I did do a large earth on the back of the black one, I think I just did the design free-hand with a sharpie. Unfortunately I lost/gave away both of them in a period of major personal upheaval - wish I still had them. Embroidered denim is great - the quilt would be really cool Amy Grace

If you have a Michales or JoAnns they have a embroidery transfer pencil I think they have white ones and dark ones. I have used them . they are pretty good. pinkroses
I used to embroider my jeans in high school (back in the olden days), but they were pretty faded and the transfers showed up on those. (wouldn't have been caught dead in new jeans, ya know lol)
