Use an erasable pen or pencil to transfer the name to the shirt. Make sure the design is well centered and at the desired location. - 3

Thread the needle with the embroidery thread of the chosen color. Make a knot at the end of the wire to prevent it from passing through the fabric. - 4
Embroider Name
Use simple embroidery stitches such as the front stitch or satin stitch to follow the design lines. Be careful to maintain a uniform tension of the wire. - 5
Finishes
