This is a wonderful book for making sewing embroidery on costumes
so much easier, you could just use the techniques to print too and
save stitching time – thanks Search Press.

I love Trish's embroidery, I have been following her on social
media for some time. Its good to see her patterns transfers. They
transfer great onto the fabric and have good range of smaller and
bigger pieces.

The cover of the book is beautiful and explains exactly what you
will get in the book, which is over 70 lovely iron on transfers all
shown with fully embroidered colour pictures. The transfers are
clear and inviting and for someone experienced in embroidery – it
is like an Aladdin's cave.

This book isn’t quite what I expected but I do like it, I just
hadn’t read the description properly ahead of time. The vast
majority of the pages are filled with designs to transfer onto
fabric so that you can embroider the images and the first few pages
are photos from all of Trish’s previous embroidery books of the
original embroidered works. In those books are where you’ll find
the tutorials and thread colours and step-by-step instructions if
you wish to follow her closely but of course you don’t have to, you
can either attempt to colour match by eye from the photos in the
book, or choose your own colour scheme and just go for it. The
designs are intricate with plenty of details, most would fit in a
3-4” hoop with some larger designs included. Many of the pages
include a number of designs on each and all are very clearly
categorised and labelled by original book title so that you can
easily go and find the corresponding instructions in that book if
you wish to follow her tutorials. The transfer process itself takes
a little practice but the written and visual instructions in the
book are clear and by the second go I had it nailed. I also
extended the time to 1.5 minutes which gave a much clearer outline
and worked really well. I used the same transfer 3 times and it
looks like it would still work well enough a 4th time, albeit it
gets feinter each time. The flower and bird illustrations are
really lovely and very much my cup of tea so I’m really looking
forward to transferring and then embroidering those. All in all,
it’s a good book, especially good if you have the books with the
original art in. Overall, I’d recommend it.

Trish Burr’s Embroidery Transfers is one of the many new
embroidery books published by Search Press this year, as
part of the 50th Anniversary celebration. They sent me an advanced
copy, which took me a full three minutes to read. And that’s a good
thing – because this isn’t a book you have to read. It’s a book of
iron-on embroidery transfers featuring designs from Trish Burr’s
embroidery books, plus a few bonus designs. The whole point of this
book is to allow you to jump straight into the fun part of
embroidery without having to worry about the difficulties of
hand-transferring the designs. At the beginning of the book, you’ll
find full colour images of the embroideries that are featured in
Trish’s many books. There are no instructions for the embroideries
in this book. If you need instructions, you’ll find all the
projects detailed in Trish’s original books. From Trish’s iconic
needlepainting projects featuring flowers and birds, to her
miniature projects, to her “whitework with colour” projects –
you’ll find them all ready and waiting for your iron! There are
instructions on how to use the iron-ons (you can get about three
good impressions from them, so they can be re-used), and then the
iron-ons themselves, which are nicely spaced on the pages so that
they’re not fiddly to cut out. The back cover of the book is a
handy folder, so that you can tuck your cut iron-ons safely inside
for future use. If you struggle with transferring embroidery
designs, if you long to work Trish’s designs but are hesitant
because of the transfer process, this problem goes completely away
with this book!

This book gives embroiderers of all abilities a bumper selection of
over 70 iron-on designs, plus six new bonus designs. Using the
iron-on transfers is very simple and each design can be used,
stored then reused multiple times.

The transfers are all helpfully grouped in chapters corresponding
to the books they are taken from. Ms Burr makes it plain at the
beginning that no instructions are given here, you can find those
in the books, but a transfer is just an outline for embroidering
over so you can interpret them as you wish. The motifs depict a
range of subjects from flora and fauna (the author lives in South
Africa) to people, Jacobean style images and several stylized
designs that are reminiscent of art deco. To give you inspiration
and get the colours right on the wildlife and flowers there are
coloured photographs of all the designs in their worked state.
There are also six bonus transfers which are not shown stitched but
as coloured drawings. For anybody new to transfers there is a page
clearly showing how to use them in staged photographs. That’s it…
you are on your own or referring to your copies of the books. Most
of the images are perfect for the thread painting technique, but as
they are simple shapes it would be easy and fun to do your own
thing. They vary in size from whole page to smaller images fitted
two or four on a page roughly 10” x 8”. A useful resource for
embroiderers and guaranteed to make you want the books they are
taken from if you don’t have them already!
