Thanks Sarah! I've got a laserprinter and I need to get my freezerpaper from another country I'm afraid (but I was going to do that anyway...)but it sounds like it works really well.

I use a Cannon printer - ip4600 (about 50$ on Amazon.com.. well the newer on it's ip4700 and less then 50$ same basic 8.5x14 printer)

I iron my fabric to a big sheet of freezer paper, then i fold over the sides to make my "fabric/paper" combo 8.5" wide. Then i trim both long ends to be about 11" long (longer if you need it) then run it through the printer

I think the key is to use an inkjet printer (the ink is not water proof and will wash out but it may stain?)

There are products available to make HP printer ink permanent. But even though im not making permanent prints it lasts long enough to stitch over.

I also use Illustrator to convert scans into line drawings i try to make the lines as small as possible. Live Trace feature in illustrator is amazing (there's a trial website that does the same thing vectormagic.com)

i'm working on converting some of Charley's images into embroidery - the hardest part is figuring out what not to include in the images.

I'm going to print directly on my fabric again - it's so much easier then tracing.

Gorgeous colouring book... I am too OCD to let my two year old have something that beautiful I think though! I think it would make many beautiful embroideries! Love the polar bear game up above too. Very sweet.

I love Charley Harper, too. I think that many of the illustrations would work very well as embroidery. They have been done as needlepoint and cross stitch, and they work because there aren't a lot of details to make life more difficult. You could do the outlines, and then whatever details that you wanted.
