Can anyone tell me the best way to transfer the Merit Badge Patterns to fabric. I tried a Dritz Tracing wheel and Red transfer paper(from Hobby Lobby) and it was so light I could not see it! Thanks Connie

I second Heather's suggestion. I got the transfer pencils and really like them a lot. There is also a blue pen that will wash out in cold water after you have stitched, that way nothing of the drawn pattern shows through the finished product. However, I did find that it bleeds a bit.
Happy Stitching!

O, a trouble's a ton or a trouble's an ounce,
Or a trouble is what you make it!
And it isn't the fact that you're hurt that counts,
But only--how did you take it?

I really like transfer iron on pencils. You just trace the pattern with the special transfer pencil (I didnt like the pen it bled too much and couldn't hesitate at all!) onto transfer or other thin paper, then iron it on to cloth just like any other iron on transfer patterns.

Connie, I am old school...
I use a felt tip pin and re-trace my design. (To make it easier to see under the cotton fabric)..on the pattern...
then I tape the pattern to a sunny window and tape my cotton fabric over the pattern,,, and I use a good old #2 pencil...to trace the pattern.
The 'red' is just to light for my old eyes...
I have used a dark blue color pencil... but I need to buy a new one or borrow one from my grandkiddos... lol!
