Last week, I tried embroidering free-hand in preparation for my newest godson's baptism. My years of cross stitching made it fairly easy to back stitch Steven's name onto a bib I purchased at Wally World. I wrote his name on a scrap of paper, and then traced it onto the bib while holding it up to a window (aka poor person's light box). If I had to do it again, I'd probably use three or four strands of embroidery floss instead of just two to make the letters thicker, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
