Hi Kathy. I did the lettering in a circle using WordArt in MS Word. I'm lucky to have an architect in the office next to us. He has a big plotter printer. I took the file to him and he enlarged it to the size I needed (I think it was a 24" circle) and printed it out for me. It saved me from printing it out on dozens of sheets of regular paper and taping them all together! Then I used MistyFuse to transfer it to the fabric and cut them out. I loved the MistyFuse, as I didn't have to reverse the letters
