I read this on Penny Halgren site this a.m. & thought I'd pass it on.

"... dicovered that the packaging/wrapping paper around reams of office stationer's normal printer paper has been waxed lightly on the inside, I suppose to protect the product inside.

I cut a section off the wrapping/packaging, ironed it lightly to my test fabric, cut the 2 layers to perfect printer feed-roll size and simply photocopied my hand-drawing on, resulting in a perfect line drawing image for me now to use for my embroidery."

Well, what do you know!!! Good for you for trying new techniques!

Cool, but I don't use enough reams of paper to have a supply of wrappers. Full sheet printer labels also work really well (like Avery 8165).

Thank you for the great tip!!
And so very 'green' too!! I use quite a bit of printer papaer and have just been throwing the wrapping away---now I have a purpose for it!!


now to try applique :oops:

that IS a good tip.
