How to Copy Drawings to Fabric
- 1). Place a piece of tracing paper over the drawing. Secure the paper with masking tape to prevent it from moving around while you trace.
- 2). Use a fabric transfer pencil to trace the lines of the image onto the tracing paper. Remove tape from tracing paper once the tracing is complete.
- 3). Pin the tracing paper, penciled side down, to the area of your fabric where you want the drawing.
- 4). Set your iron to the wool setting with no steam. Iron the tracing paper to transfer the pencil marks from the tracing paper to the fabric.
- 1). Purchase printer-specific fabric from your local fabric store or, in some cases, office supply store.
- 2). Scan your drawing into the computer using your system's scanning software.
- 3). Place the printable fabric into your ink jet printer, just as you would regular paper, and simply press "Print." The printer will print directly onto the special fabric, which can then be used in quilts or other crafts.
