    WOW,
    I just love your cat pattern, I too, am a cat lover that is a striped blk/grey/white tabby. I really like this site tells all & of course the main web site is awesome. I'm ordering some transfer EZE & we'll see how easy it is to use. What happens to all of the patterns I have now since you can't copy from a computer? Keep on the great, exciting work & NEW patterns. How about starting some easy patterns for children who want to start things like this?

New Christmas Freebie for you

It is now only 25 days to the BIG Christmas Day.  Whip up a few tea towels or make ornaments with our December Freebie design . I embroidered Santa holding a mini Christmas tree on a Sage Green striped tea towel.  He only took a couple of hours one night to complete.  A hint for you to speed your embroidery.  Thread a crewel embroidery needle for each of the colors in your design.  You won’t always be pulling the thread out and changing color.  This little cutie would make a great ornament too.  Just do the embroidery on muslin and finish in your favorite way.  FUN!

Transfer-Eze Embroidery Magic

Lots of us have been having a wonderful time using Transfer-Eze , the NEW water soluble film on paper backing you can use with your printer.  Instead of the tedious task of tracing embroidery designs onto fabric you can print the design on the Transfer-Eze. I printed a snowmen for a new design twice – one for Embroidery and one for Needle Felting on wool fabric.  Just pull the Transfer-Eze film off the paper backing.  To conserve the paper, I cut off one snowman and still have 2/3 of the paper left to print on again later!

The printed design shows beautifully on the film pressed on the dark red fabric. This is going to be EASY t...
