Vintage Anchor Embroidery Transfers

Posted on June 25, 2009December 6, 2012 by Martha

This little folder was tucked in with a group of vintage patterns I purchased from Great Britain. There is no date, and although I expect they are pretty old, they’re in perfect condition. The transfers are printed on parchment type paper and I’m sure they would iron just fine, but I’m not going to try it. I prefer to trace anyway and they’re so cute, I don’t want to mess them up.

    Those are so SIMPLE but so NICE! Isn’t the internet great? Getting things like your transfers into the hands of someone who will use and enjoy them.

    My grandmother had these! Wow, I haven’t seen them in years. She made a tray cloth with the sprigs of flowers and a tablecloth with the bowl. I wonder what happened to them?

    These are too cute! I think I will try the tulips and horseshoes on some onesies!

    I’ve never seen ones like this – they’re wonderful. I think you’re smart to trace them.

    Can you tell me how you trace your designs? Do you use a light box? Pencil? I tried to use dressmaker’s tracing paper the other day and it would not show up on the fabric, no matter how hard I pressed. You could see the pressure lines on the fabric, but no colored marks from the tracing paper. It was a brand new package.

    Thanks for any tips!
