I haven’t seen this design-transfer technique before, but it makes perfect sense. Janet Granger is beginning work on an 8″ x 4″ envelope flap. She says, “I want it eventually to be quite heavily covered in stitches, so I’ve got to make sure that the fabric’s foundation is strong enough to take dense stitching.” Her technique involves transferring the design to cotton batiste in reverse, then attaching it to the silk foundation and applying a running stitch from the back through both layers. She explains it better than I can. See for yourself.
