@maseukos i bought some cross stitch waste canvas from my local Spotlight (the brand is Charles CRAFT, if you wanna search online for it) i cut the size i needed, and used dress pins to keep it in the same place as i started. then, using the waste canvas as a guide, you just stitch onto the canvas to the fabric you want to embroider on. once done, you can just pull the threads of the canvas out, iron the embroidery flat, and you'll have a nice little trans design lol. you can get a type of waste canvas that washes off with warm water, if that works for you. i also used two threads in my stitch, but to make it easier to get the sewing needle through, you can just use one as a beginner, or if you're making a lager embroidery (eg, you'll see me upload a picture of a larger embroidery in a few days when i've finished it lol
