It's good to be reminded sometimes of what people once endured. Thank you for all the lovely comments you leave on my blog. To answer your question about transferring designs to fabric for stitching, I sometimes use the old tracing using a window pane, but also use a light box. But I also have a transfer pencil that I trace over the design with and then iron the design on to the fabric. There are also other techniques like printing the design on to wash away stabiliser, and then place the stabiliser on your fabric, embroider it and then wash the stabiliser out.
