What exactly is sticker washable transfer paper? ♥

Once you're done stitching, simply wash the fabric, and the paper will dissolve like magic, leaving behind your beautiful creation.

How to use sticker washable transfer paper for hand embroidery ♥

♥ Step 1: Choose your design and print it on the smooth side of the transfer paper. If you don't have the paper, you can buy already-printed stickers like these. Make sure to mirror the image if necessary, especially if your design includes text, and allow enough space between images to cut them out.

♥ Step 2: Cut out the design, leaving a small border around the edges. This will help the paper adhere better to the fabric and give you some leeway in case the paper doesn't stick right to the edge.

♥ Step 3: Peel off the backing to reveal the sticky side of the paper. Carefully place it on your fabric, making sure it's smooth and wrinkle-free. It's best to have your fabric already secured tightly in the hoop by this step!

♥ Step 5: Start stitching your design as you normally would! Feel free to get creative with different embroidery stitches and colours. If you feel like the adhesive residue is making it hard to push your needle through the fabric, you can gently clean the needle as you go.

♥ Step 6: Once you've finished stitching, it's time to remove the transfer paper. Simply wash your fabric in lukewarm water, and watch as the paper dissolves, leaving your embroidery masterpiece behind.
