Muslin Black
I am trying to learn to make iron on transfers?
I want to make them like the old Vogart embroidery transfers not using the paper which seems to be the only option I can find--when you buy them they are done on copy paper with black ink and you just iron on the outline and then can embroider on tea towels or muslin. Does anyone know how to do this without drawing with a transfer pen or pencil????
Couldn't you just print the outline(s) of the images you want onto transfer paper, then transfer only that to the fabric/etc?
You could get the outlines by tracing over an image just using outlines, then scan that into your computer to print out as transfers.
Or you could use some of the "cartoonizers"** and other special effects filters available online or in various photo-editing software to create simplified lines from your image (some will automatically remove any color, or turn them into bw in a separate step).
Or often you can just iron (use heat and pressure) to transfer *toner* based inks from photocopiers or laser printers, bw or color, onto fabrics or other paper though they won't be as dark a line as using a better transfer method. You could go over the lines though with a pigment pen if you wanted the dark lines separating your colors.
You could also just trace the main lines of something yourself directly onto fabric by placing the original image on a lightbox or window-during-daylight, then placing the fabric on top and tracing the lines you should be able to see.
You can also print directly onto fabric by taping the leading edge of a small piece of the fabric onto a sheet of paper or cardstock, then running through your printer... or you can buy special materials at fabric or quilt stores to do that (with instructions).
**Some of the free "sketch" or "cartoonize" functions online are at places like these:

Photobucket allows you to do similar and even more things with your images (use the Edit function), and Flickr probably has something similar.
