I haven't seen the Aunt Martha transfers for a few years, Pinkroses.
Like you, my late Grandma taught me (and at about the same age!). She taught me using traced linen (it seems to be a fad in our family - all my aunts (on both sides), my mum and grandma all stitch doiley sets, tablecloths, etc. In fact, over christmas, I bought a new set from DMC that I fell in love with!).
It is fairly easy to use tracing paper to transfer patterns to fabric, or you can buy iron on transfer paper for your printer and print patterns that way.
