When you are ready to make a square, print it out and trace the design directly onto your fabric, using the method which suits your style best.  Per original patterns of the day: Fold the pattern to determine the center and "Slip a piece of carbon paper underneath - the sticky side facing the material - and trace the pattern carefully with a very well pointed pencil"

Today you can also use an inexpensive transfer pen available in sewing and craft stores. To aid in tracing you can use a quilting light box, or well-lit window as women of previous generations did.
