Stitching: A Few of My Favorite Things

A Few of My Favorite Things

FriXion Pens – These are great for transferring using a light box or bright window. Simply draw on your fabric with the pen, stitch your piece, and then use a hair dryer to make the pen marks magically disappear!
Sulky Printable/Dissolvable Stabilizer – You can resize your piece to whatever hoop size you are using and then print directly on this stick-on stabilizer. Apply the design to your fabric, stitch, and then dissolve the stabilizer off in hot water. You will have to iron your piece after it’s dried, though. That’s the one downside, but this is so easy to use.

For an amazing starter kit, check out the Cozyblue all-in-one kits and Cozyblue Stitch Club. The club is so fun because you get a pre-printed pattern with coordinating floss each month.
