Default How do you transfer a pattern to your wood

Suggest you try this if you have a laser printer. Print the pattern, lay the
page face down on the wood, use an iron set at cotton and iron the back of the
print. The pattern is transferred to the wood, I think. JG

I am building a cabinet and the top has a scalloped look to it. I drew it on
my computer to actual size. Now I need to transfer it to my wood.

How do you guys do that? Do you print on thick stock, cut out the pattern
and then use it as a stencil? Do you tape the pattern to the wood and cut
the pattern? Do you free hand off of what you did on the computer?

I will be using my Bosch jig saw to make the cut.
