A process for creating a pile yarn design and transferring it to a substratum, such as an article of clothing, involves the creation of the design on a temporary supporting medium, utilizing the medium to secure the design to the substratum, and then removing the medium from the pile yarn design. More particularly, a thin sheet of non-stick, moisture-proof plastic sheet material is stretched within a peripheral support, such as an embroidery hoop. Lengths of yarn are placed over the pattern, and a tweezer tool is utilized to punch the yarn through the plastic sheet so that loops extend outwardly from a side thereof. This process is utilized to create the pile yarn design on the plastic sheet. When the design is completed, glue is applied over a base portion of the pile yarn design, and the plastic sheet medium is then utilized to place the glue-coated yarn base portions into contact with the substratum. After the glue has dried, the plastic sheet is simply pulled upwardly off the loops, leaving the pile yarn design securely fixed to the substratum.
