They could sign their names and then all we have to do is trace over with black embroidery. Oh I would set my embroidery floss with hot vinegar water before using it...
Just finished a red-work design for a swap... the blanked color bled and ruined two months work... when I washed the block to remove the template pencil ink (it was pink and some places showed)...now I have to start back at square one for this person's block!

IT'S WORKING!!!!:)
There is still just a tiny bit on the worst places so I'm soaking some more...this will be wonderful if it fixes the bleed.
Update .... IT WORKED!!!! All the ugly bleed is gone. The color is even and still more red than orange.
Thank you Thank you Thank you for that wonderful tip on bleeding color removal.
