Embroidery

I am looking for transfers which I can possibly iron on to a garment and embroider over it.  Does such a thing exist?

They certainly used to and some  may be lurking in a charity shop!
You also used to be able to get a transfer pen where you could draw (or trace) your own designs onto something like greaseproof paper. haven't done any of those things for a lot of years!

Amazon & Etsy seem to have transfers for sale. A is also showing some books

DMC make transfer pens
Hobbycraft have transfer paper

Lots available on the usual selling sites.

You need to search for 'iron on transfers for embroidery'

And yes there's a pencils too.

An ordinary pencil doesn't wash out and I did find the embroidery ones didn't wash out well so remember to stitch over the line.

With lace making you use pouncing which would work as well. Take a picture you like and pierce around the edge with a large darning needle.

Depending on the fabric you are using, you may be able to use either a light box or a window. Use masking tape to fix your paper design (on tracing/greaseproof paper) to the window then place your fabric over the top and hopefully you will see the lines through the fabric and you can trace over them. Should work for a white cotton shirt but not for jeans. Depending on your design, you could also work it in a hoop on a separate piece of fabric and then applique it onto your garment (good choice if where you want to add it is in a tricky place for embroidering directly).
