That's correct, I just took the printed name which came out of the printer on like 6 sheets and taped them all together to form one long continuous name. Then I "traced" over the name with an Xacto knife to cut through the paper along the letters. I then laid that over the quilt and taped it down so it wouldn't move and drew through the slits in the paper onto the quilt top. Removed the paper and then quilted the 3/8" strips of muslin over the drawn lines.
