- Print out the pattern you want to use.
- Turn the pattern over to the wrong side and hold it up to a lighted window or lay it on a light box and trace over the lines with your heat transfer pencil.
- Cut out the muslin fabric to your desired size and lay it onto your ironing board. Preheat your iron to the cotton setting.
- Place the pattern onto the fabric, with the transfer pencil side on the fabric, position carefully and then press with the iron for 20 to 30 seconds.
Stitch the design using the Stem Stitch (shown below) with 2 strands of embroidery floss. The whiskers should be stitched with only one strand of floss. The open eyes are made using French knots with 2 strands of floss, wound 2 times.
