Years ago, I picked up a vintage kitchen towel at an antique store. It was in great shape and had a little dog hand embroidered on it. It was adorable and I loved it but, because I kept it in my kitchen, there came a time where it got too stained and I wasn't able to get these removed. It definitely made me sad, but I recently bought a hot iron transfer with vintage looking dogs on it at a yard sale. Here was the answer to my problems. At this point, I had never used these types of transfers before but I was eager to decorate my kitchen once again with its adorableness. I tried it and it worked wonderfully and hand embroidery was so fun and relaxing so I'm excited to make more! Are you now intrigued and want to give it a whirl? Watch our new tutorial! We show you how to use hot iron transfers to create a design on aprons, towels, tote bags and even garments so that you can add a handmade touch of embellishment. We also go over some common stitches used so you can start a new project today!

I’ve tried Aunt Martha’s several times and could never get it quite right! Thanks for the video/how-to!
Always want to put on one of these on what I sew. I am getting ready to sew a hospital gown for my daughter to wear after child birth would love to iron this on. I think they are beautiful and would like to follow the instruction on professor pincushion.
They are lovely, I was thinking of making a quilt with them, I love to do hand work.
I would love to embroidery pillow cases for my grand-daughter for Christmas..
I would like to use this to make hand embroidered quilt squares.
This cute transfer will be ideal for cushion, bedding and change bag for my friend’s new baby.
How cute! Me want! I always wanted to win something and these would make me so happy!
Ruff! Ruff! Hit me, baby!
I am making folios that are sized for the junior legal pad and for a 9X12 sketch pad. I want them to have a matching motif on the front that will help me readily identify the contents and yet look coordinated, as if they are a set. The dog featured in your video would be ideal.
What a great set of transfers! I hope I can try them out!
