When I do redwork, I trace the pattern onto the fabric with a .o5 micron pigma pen. I know, I know it doesn't wash out, but--as you stitch you actually cover the thin lines that the pen makes, plus it is red and matches the thread, so even if a bit is left showing, it just looks like its the thread.
I'm also working on an Antique Ladies embroidery piece on gray fabric. I used the .05 black pen to draw the detail and now am using black tatting thread to do the embroidery. It is working great. Makes a beautiful line of embroidery.

There is a red transfer pencil that you can buy. You go over the design with the transfer pencil and then iron it to your fabric. Remember that the transfer will appear in reverse if you use the transfer pencil on the right side of the paper. You could print the patterns in reverse and then go over them with a pencil. Do not use fabric softner on material if you wash it, this will help towards a better transfer.
Good Luck

What would be the easiest way to transfer these redwork designs onto a piece of fabric to embroider?
Looking for ideas! Thanks!

Tranafer-eze its made my Bird BrainDesign.net. ait says easiest, fastest, way to transfer design for embroidery,applique machine and hand quilting .punch needle and more.
I hope this helps
Any time i do hand emb work I use a good grade of muslin then I use a piece of batting. Doing it this way kind of pre-quilts the block. Several have started doing this after seing how mine came out
