|Sponsored| One of our very favorite things to do is play with new crafting supplies and think of all the ways we’d put them to work in our sewing practice. Our friends at RNK Distributing always send us the most fun and interesting products to play with, and they didn’t disappoint this time! New from Embellish® by RNK, check out the Embellish® Heat-Transfer Chalkboard, perfect for creating DIY projects that you can write on and erase.

For this sneak peek, join Amanda Carestio, editor of Sew News and Creative Machine Embroidery magazines and co-host of Sew & Tell podcast, and Ginger Tatic, video producer for Sew Daily and co-host of Quilt & Tell podcast. We’re looking at a new heat-transfer vinyl product that you can write on and erase!

Sneak Peek: Making a Label with Embellish® Heat-Transfer Chalkboard

Amanda planned a really fun and simple project to demonstrate some of the very best things about the Embellish® Heat-Transfer Chalkboard. You can very easily cut out a label shape with straight or decorative shears, attach the label to a ready-to-wear or me-made apron, and add a simple contrast border with your sewing machine!



Hopefully this sparks some ideas for what you could create with Embellish® Heat-Transfer Chalkboard. The chalkboard vinyl can be used with a digital cutter or as an appliqué fabric, transforming any design into a chalk project. You can even layer the chalkboard with additional stitches or embroidery motifs, or with metallics like Embellish® Foil.

Use powdered chalk for best results, and always remember to do a patch test before you commit to your project, to ensure your chalk is compatible.

To weed the vinyl and to align the graphic, use the Embellish® Vinyl Weeding Tool and the Embellish® Heat Transfer Vinyl T-Shirt Centering Ruler for the best application.
