Hi Holly, thank you so much for sharing this. 🌷🙏 I am going to try. Is there a way to transfer this handmade piece to digital as well for sharing as a repeat pattern? It has been challenging for me! Thank you so much!

[@Handprinteduk]

You can scan and transfer to a digital file if you prefer

[@artisticafflair408]

Wow complicated it sounds, but if I keep on it then get it I will. :) .Much less complicated than way I was taught by my university teachers. Have you thought about a career change? Haha.

[@Handprinteduk]

Haha I'll bear it in mind!

[@tonikenner9093]

How do you fine line the lines where you cut ? So you can upload to companies ?

[@Handprinteduk]

Hi Toni, I'm not sure what you mean by fine line the lines that you cut - can you explain?

[@tonikenner9093]

@@Handprinteduk hi and thank you .
I mean the cut lines ? Once you cut then you put in a program then you smooth out the cut lines somehow ? Correct? I have procreate .

[@Handprinteduk]

@@tonikenner9093 Yes you could edit these out digitally I'm sure
