The first step is to cut your monogram on your cutting machine and load some Freezer Paper into your machine. I loaded my paper shiny side up, which meant that I had to "horizontally flip" my monogram design so that it will cut backwards. (When you iron it on, you iron it shiny side down so the design will be correct when you lay it!)
The settings that I used on my silhouette machine were: Blade 1, Speed 3, Thickness 6.
Next, you will want to reverse weed your design. Meaning, if it is a monogram, you will want the monogram itself to be left when you are done weeding.
Here comes the hard part... piece by piece, you will lay your pieces of your design onto the onesie (shiny side down) and iron them on. This is the longest and most tedious part of the process. This is what it should look like when you're done:
The next step is the fun part! Iron away and make sure all of the pieces are sticking to the fabric and then apply your paint! I used Americana multi-surface acrylic paint from Michael's. After you allow it to dry completely (or if you're impatient like me, blow dry it for several minutes to speed up the process).
And then, VOILA! You have a beautiful monogrammed onesie!
I will post beautiful baby photos of Cora in her monogrammed onesie as soon as possible! :)
