Additional Tools:

Scissors

​

I recommend using Pilot Frixon pens to transfer your pattern. These allow for a high level of detail to be achieved when transferring and are removable with heat (although marks may reappear in extreme cold). Alternatively you can purchase a water soluble transfer pen from a craft store or use a regular ball point or pencil with the understanding that all markings will be permanent and need to be covered with floss.
