An easy way to transfer a design from paper to fabric without the need of a light box.
Place the fine fabric gauze over your design and trace the design onto the the gauze using the water erasable pen (the blue ink of the pen will go through the fabric gauze and onto your design so take a photo-copy of your design if you do not want it to be touched with the blue ink).
Place fabric gauze with the traced design onto the fabric (no need to flip the design). Trace over the lines again and the blue ink goes through the fabric gauze to leave an outline of your design on the fabric.
