A Fabric Patch Sewn from the Cartoon Pig I Drew - Who ever would have thought this could be done at home? I drew the pig on newsprint with a graphite pencil, then inked it over and scanned the outline to the laptop computer. From there I used various programs to clean up and colorize the image and then turn it into an embroidery pattern. Except for choosing the colors, the machine pretty much did the rest, including threading the needles.
