Okay, now I have a QUESTION
I made the fab five themed skirts and I need to work on the shirts to go with them. WHAT COLOR SHIRTS should I get for the two skirts pictured below if I want to use the applique design shown?
Since the Mickey head needs to have a white background it won't work on a white shirt (or will it?). I thought about maybe yellow, or possibly a pink one for the Daisy one. Thoughts?
Thanks!

How about a red shirt. Or if you used white, could you use the white fabric and another color, or varigated thread? I don't know what the other one looks like, so I can't comment.
For centering, since you don't have a printer, most machines have a way to baste down the rectangular outline of the design, usually for if you need an overlayment or interfacing. Check your user manual on your machine. I know on Vikings, it's a special button you push, but I don't remember on the other machines. I'm sorry I'm not more help, but since my injury, I haven't been able to sew or embroider, and it's amazing how quickly you forget.
It's not so much centering it, as being able to tell how the necklace is going to stitch out on the shirt. That's why a print out is helpful. You can see how close to the neckline you want to go. But I'll make them work as they are. It didn't help that I didn't really feel like doing them. I wanted them for a bday present (and it's a little kid and she'll never know how bad they are). I thought about doing some for myself when we go away, but I'll make sure I can print out the pictures for those.
