Iron on? Or printing it and then ironing that image on?

FYI i found some stuff called fabri-solvy made for embroidery. I havent tried it yet but from what i have seen, it seems great and easy to use.

I've used pencil or pen- just run of the mill office type stuff. What kind of fabric are you working with?

I haven't tried anything yet. I have been busy stocking up my store. I'm thinking about using muslin, but I'm worried that it will be to thin. I wanted to use a pencil but I didn't know how to get rid of the line work afterwards
