Before I start my Jane Eyre slow stitch project I need to figure out a way to transfer this image onto cloth without using chalk, pencils or any sort marking.
The technique I've used in the past (creating a stencil) doesn't work with highly detailed images. I decided to trace the image onto this gift tissue paper, which is the thinnest paper I have on hand, and then pin it to the fabric and stitch through it. Then I got an idea.
Instead of tracing I taped a piece of tissue paper to some card stock and printed the image on it with my laser jet printer.
Once I cut the tissue paper off the card stock (removing the tape tears the tissue paper) I had the perfect image transfer.
I'm going to test this on muslin first to see how it will look, embroidery-wise, but I think it's going to work.
