Embroidery Question
#1
Would like to hand embroider a saying on a quilt. I don't have good penmanship - so, What suggestions do you have for transferring letters onto fabric. I bought a kit that had some fabric and a "pen" that you were supposed to write on the fabric. The color of the pen is blue, and it really doesn't come through onto the fabric. I can find some fonts that I like, but really don't know how to move them from copy paper on my pc to the material

I have traced letters to tissue paper, basted the shape to the fabric & then embroidered through that. When you are done, you just tear the tissue paper off.
I did this method to make a challah bread cover for a friend.

1. Copy design onto TE paper
2. Peel away the backing and stick to project fabric.
3. Stitch the design
4. Cut excess away, then soak in cold water to remove the remainder.
I would think you could print your design from your PC file to the paper.
Come to Piecemakers Monday night and find out moore :roll: :-) :-) :-) G
