Bohin, the French company that produces these excellent needles (and other needlework tools) offers a very curious product for design transfer, called “Transfer Veil.”

Transfer Veil, in my mind, falls in the same category as “transfer mesh” because it works the same exact way. But there’s a huge difference between Bohin’s Transfer Veil and the “transfer mesh” by Clover that we looked at the other day.

The biggest difference is that you can actually transfer detailed designs with transfer veil – with some caveats.

I played around with the curious stuff for a bit and tried different approaches with it, because, although I like the concept, I wasn’t too keen on part of the product (specifically, the transfer pen used with the veil).

I’m just going to write about my adventures in a very loose way, so that you can see what I tried and why, and then you can decide if Bohin’s Transfer Veil is a product that you’d like to use for design transfer.

Today, we’re going to take a very quick look at a transfer medium that’s available on the needlework market, manufactured by Clover. It’s called Mesh Transfer Canvas.

We’ll take a close-up look at what it is and how it works, and then we’ll talk about its use in the area of surface embroidery.
