A washable pattern transfer pencil will be appreciated by anyone who does sewing, embroidery, quilting and other techniques where you need to draw a template onto fabric that can then be simply removed after stitching, leaving only your beautiful embroidery. Using this pencil is simple: trace the desired pattern onto transparent paper and then iron-transfer it onto the fabric. The pencil is best suited to natural cotton and linen fabrics, but is not suitable for synthetic fabrics, blended textiles or silk. The line the pencil leaves is red-pink and stands out well against a wide range of fabric colours. The pencil is not intended for marking directly onto fabric! Before you start crafting, we recommend first testing the pencil on a small piece of the fabric you will be working with. If you want to mark fine details on fabric, also take a look at the disappearing fabric marker pen with an extra fine tip.
