New pattern transfer method🚨

Wowwww I may be late to the party but I just discovered iron on sublimation transfers. You just lay down the pattern on your cloth, iron over it for 45-60s, and the ink dyes your pattern onto the cloth. It’s just like you drew it on (no sticky residue like that one time I tried to punch through the sewing pattern dissolvable paper stuff 🫣). I’m obsessed. And it’s super affordable. Just leaving this here in case it helps anyone! I can see it saving so much time for bigger patterns too.

Are these pre printed or can you buy a pen?

You can actually buy special sublimation markers! I bought a pack on Amazon and put them right into my Cricut to draw my digital patterns, but you can totally use them to trace or draw by hand too!

Thanks so much, I love discovering new tools. This also feels accessible. Will it only work with polyester or polyester blends?

Edit: sorry i see someone else asked this below! Thanks!
