DRAWING IT OUT Using PENCIL like I said before, I use a mechanical pencil (just easier since it doesn’t have to be sharpened and fits in the bead kit better) I draw cross hairs more often than not so I can periodically check the way the material is shifting against my green plastic circle guide with also have crosshairs. You can use a magazine, postcard any thing SQUARE for this check. You will from time to time have to redraw areas, don’t fret it’s normal. Especially in freestanding shapes like this. IF you DON’T do it everyone will know as it will be lopsided and uneven. Get used to the idea you WILL be doing touch ups to the design. I hand draw, but you could use carbon paper, there is a line at art supply houses for fabric that washed out. Or you can hold the fabric to the window and have a black line drawing behind it against the cloth and trace the image on the front, this works really well if you don’t have a lightbox. This is how I do designs sometimes.
