Pen for transferring designs onto jeans?

Hi,

Is there a pen you can use to transfer designs onto jeans (like a tattoo design onto skin)
where the lines can be erased afterward?

I’d like to decorate my jeans with rhinestones. I bought a hotfix applicator for this. 
However, since I’m not really good at drawing, I wanted to trace a template and transfer it onto the jeans. 

There are a few transfer pens out there, but which one is suitable for jeans? And which one allows you to remove the lines so they’re no longer visible? After all, you can’t place the rhinestones close enough together to completely cover every line.

There are these chalk pens for marking fabric when cutting—they brush off easily and wash out too. You can find them at any sewing machine or fabric store.

Best regards, Inge

A chalk pen only works if you have a stencil. 
But I’m looking for a design that I can trace, like flower vines or something similar. 
Not a sewing pattern.

I used a transfer pen. If you need more info, feel free to message me via the Contact page.

With this pen, you trace the design onto wax paper and then iron it onto the fabric.

So either use tracing paper for sewing or a heat-soluble pen (e.g., Frixxon).

@ WollwunderPetra does it work on jeans too?
If so, what is the pen called?

Good morning, Rosenkelch,

The pen is called an iron-on transfer pen. I bought it at a yarn and craft store. You can tell them what you’re looking for, and they can usually order it for you.

I’ve done this on jeans before, too.
