But she has only done one corner, and the piece is large, so I'll leave it for now!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12224346283881001640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996397910883471581.post-51943731489257360532015-02-23T07:20:31.775+10:302015-02-23T07:20:31.775+10:30Thanks Monica.

The transfers were blue - carbon paper colour. I imagine they are a form of washable carbon. They ironed on easily and washed out easily. They can only be used once and they don't fade while you are stitching.. I have a few in my collection that are orangy-red but no silver. I found them very easy to use. I'll see if I can find out what they are made of.

Are they silvery? Do you know what they're made from? I've been thinking of finishing one of her projects, but those transfers gave me pause. What was your experience with them?Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12224346283881001640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996397910883471581.post-90439523137119822202015-02-22T20:48:04.249+10:302015-02-22T20:48:04.249+10:30Thanks, Lyn.
