Iron On Transfers for Embroidery
When
I was a young girl my mom transferred these patterns to tea towels and
embroidered them. She also taught me how to embroider with these same
iron on transfers. Later, when I became an adult and moved out on my
own, she passed the towels on to me. I have always treasured them.
I was happy (and rather surprised) to see the Aunt Martha's iron on transfer patterns that we used in the 1970s are still available online! These transfer patterns can be used to embroider, or cross stitch, just about any kind of fabric including hand towels, quilts, and Christmas stockings.

How Do They Work?
1. Iron the image onto any fabric.
2. Embroider or cross stitch.

embroidered towel from my mother.

Mary!" on your latest creation with this iron on transfer.
