    Chelsey, there are a variety of ways to get a design onto fabric for embroidery. Go to the search field near the bottom of the left-hand column of this page and search for “transfer,” and you’ll see links to quite a few blog posts on this topic. Or go to your favorite search engine and search for “embroidery transfer.” Hope this helps.

    Denise

    Thank you ‘nise!

    Chelsey, Do what Denise suggested. I’ll only add that I had to try several different techniques before I found the ones I like best.
