    I wanted to show everyone that I did the applique letters that I had asked everyone about on the shirt today. I ended up enlarging the letters in word about 175% and it worked out great! Thanks to thimblebug6000 who told me just to use word on the computer!! My daughter wanted a shirt to wear for the St. Patricks Day parade tomorrow.

    Looks good and thanks for the information. I am always in search for applique letters and haven't ever found any.

    I ended up also doing a small blanket stitch around the letters. Took a while but it turned out good

    Here is the link to my other post. There are two sites that people posted where to find free applique letters. I couldnt use them because they were too big.
