What would be the easiest way to......?

I have some "redwork" designs that I printed off a web site that I would like to embroider for inserting into a quilt.
What would be the easiest way to transfer these redwork designs onto a piece of fabric to embroider?
Looking for ideas! Thanks!

for me (and my granddaughter and i both are always working on embroideries) always use a fine point pencil. the lines can be seen, do not rub off, but do wash out. i've tried dozens of different products out there, but always go back to a good ole pencil. and you can use a white pencil on dark fabrics.

I use a light box now but I was taping the design to the fabric and holding it up to the window or sliding door and tracing with a #2 pencil. The light box is much faster and my arms don't get tired. I got the light box at Joann's for $14.99 minus a 50% off coupon. It was in the scrapbooking dept.
