    Re: How to take carbon copy without carbon paper ?

    Glad to be of help, Subha. I'm pretty sure you'll get it in Michaels. If not I guess Amazon is an option.
    Reg reusing the paper, you can reuse it but will have to go over the design again with the transfer pencil but the paper gets kinda stiff once you put the hot iron over it. So I didn't try to reuse it. But I guess if you need to copy the same design in multiple places, you could try it.
    Cheers.

    hi all,
    wow hot iron transefer..great idea..should try and check out if its available in the UAE..i have another simple idea to transfer the designs..Just place the design sheet under the fabric and secure it with a pin or cellotype ..almost all the fabrics will be transparent enough to see the design under the fabric..if needed the design can be darkened too.then draw over the fabric along the lines of the design underneath..

    Re: Tracing the Design-Tips

    That was a nice tracing tip hema_gladston!Here is my ..My 2cents....It was the conventional method,of olden days, when artists had to trace drawings on the walls for murals, or large paintings on canvas.Even in tanjore paintings of early periods, drawings were traced by this method, on the surface of boards,walls, etc.It was called 'pouncing' and is still prevalent.Old is gold!Good that you shared it here!:)
