As others have mentioned computer clip art is a good source for images. Our Walmart has big bargain bags of assorted embroidery/applique shapes (with the assorted button bags) in the sewing aisle for about $7? You could check to see if yours carries them and if they could work.
Yes, I am using flannel on one side of the burp cloths and terry cloth on the reverse side. I will check our Walmart out and see what they have. We have three superWalmart in a town near by. Our local smaller walmarts don't carry much of anything in this department. Thanks for your help.
