Sublime Stitching Review

Posted by Sew4My3

About

A few weeks ago I was contacted to test a new Sublime Stitching Fine Tip Iron-on Transfer Pen. I don’t usually do embroidery work but I thought I would give it a try. After all there are many other uses in sewing for these pens of many colors and they do come in other colors than the lovely blue that I received. Now for a project idea!

I had another project that was a complete fail when I literally lost all of the photos that documented the step by step use, due to camera/computer/ME issue. Arrg!! So… rather than cry over lost work (I can do this later) I got started on a quicker smaller project that can meet the deadline, baby booties/shoes.

I have to say that the pens worked beautifully. The lines the pen created were thin and didn't bleed out or smear when ironed. I would highly recommend them, especially for detailed or delicate work. Note: the ink is permanent.
