Printable Floral Embroidery Project
Sarah Hearts One of the things that can be intimidating to new embroiderers is transferring the pattern. Sarah Hearts solves that problem with her printable pattern and tutorial showing you how to print on fabric with a Silhouette machine. Not only does this make it easy to start stitching, but it also creates a background that looks fun around the stitching. If you don't have a Silhouette, you can still print the free PDF on fabric ironed onto freezer paper.
