- Could someone help me with the steps I need to draft a pattern for
- someone's name? I used a copier to enlarge the letters and then tried
- coping onto graph paper. Unfortunately that came out a little crooked.
- Then I decided to try to trace it onto the Hardanger cloth I have and
- that's not working well. Is there an easy way to trace the pattern? Or
- is it better to just count? The biggest problem is the letters kind of slant
- to the right. When i was using regular 14 ct. cloth it was too far apart
- to get a nice crisp slant, so I switched to the 22 ct. and that's better.
- Except it's so hard to count. Does anyone have ideas for a simpler method?
