HI! I am just attempting this project myself. I have found that printing the entire piece (in this case a poem) on the computer, on regular printer paper, in which ever font style I choose, works. The next thing to do is get a piece regular carbon paper, which is made smear-proof now, at your office supply store, and place it over the fabric, face down, and your printed poem on top of that. If you trust you have a steady hand, trace the outline of your letters, this will obviously go through to your fabric. When finished, remove the printed poem, the tracing paper, and there you have it...your poem, printed and ready for embroidery! Lisa B. Florida ... View related article.
