I agree with the above comment I also use the frixion pens - just make sure if you are going to use pellon or parlan behind the stitchery that you add this first as the frixion pen comes off with ironing (and yes I've done that more than once - duh) Love the linen look and it would be wonderful to see it finished - now the end of Jan is so close and you are madly trying to get it finished -- good luck and I'll keep my fingers crossedNays Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247815557430829330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704756198346975611.post-58914041312353490042015-01-30T21:32:21.672+11:002015-01-30T21:32:21.672+11:00I use a black fixion pen to trace my embroideries,...I use a black fixion pen to trace my embroideries, I also trace the pattern using a Black marker, onto cheap grease proof paper so it shows up better on the light box under my fabrics.Hope this helps for next time ;))<br />Kelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09043601943578216336noreply@blogger.com
