Cindy-

I think you just told yourself how to do it! vbg I am partial to
Verdana- a simple nice font. Do some rows of X's with different sizes-
be sure to include the size at the end of rach row- and print it out.
When you have the size you like, then make up your pattern. Print it
out on paper to be sure you are happy with it. Then iron your fabric
to freezer paper- I cut the freezer paper to 9X11.5, then after ironing
on the fabric to the paper, trim it down to 8.5X11. Then run it thru
your printer. I do it quite often and the only troubles I've had is
with the freezer paper curling. I roll it in the opposite direction of
the curl and hold it for a few seconds and it will stay flat. You
might want to hand guide it thru the printer to be sure it gets started
feeding correctly and straight. Mine sometimes catches on the printer
as it comes out after printing, so you might want to keep an eye on
that end, too. I've heard you should iron the print to set it, but I
also know it's not washable- which may be good if you want to remove
the printing after you do your cross-stitching. Good luck and have
fun!

If I wanted to type up some text on the computer in a nice font and
then transfer the text to cotton in order to embroider it, kind of like
stamped cross stitch comes with the x's already printed on fabric,
...how would I do it?
