TRANSFERRING DESIGNS - Anon

If you have complicated designs to transfer onto a piece of silk, take a photocopy of the image and iron it, face down, onto your flat silk. You may need to increase the heat setting of your iron from silk up to cotton because of the thickness of the paper. The design should appear as a faint but clear outline ready for the gutta outliner to be applied.

Please note however, if you are using designs taken from published material be aware that copyright laws may apply. The design sheet included with the Winter issue of the journal is copyright free as are the designs in numerous design books published by Search Press.
