I'm trying to bind a cross stitch embroidery on cross stitch fabric onto a piece of normal fabric. What's the best way to do this? Sewing? Transfer paper? If I go with transfer fabric, how does cross stick fabric respond to an iron?

Any assistance would be appreicated?
I am wondering if what you are looking for is called Waste Canvas
It is a grid that you tack on to regular fabric. You stitch your pattern through both the waste canvas and the regular fabric.. when your all done, you pull out the strands of the waste canvas and your left with a piece of regular fabric that has your pattern stitched on it.
I think that the best way to attach cross stitch fabric to a shirt or pants or blanket is to sew it on to the fabric. You can fold the edges under just as you would a regular piece of cotton.
If you are looking for some one to help change you, look in the mirror
Ahh.. I understand now.
I agree with Rose. Sewing the pieces together would work best.. Especially if the pocket is going to be used (not just decorative)
I just wasn't sure if the cross stitch fabric would handle the thin thread of a sewing needle very well, or if I needed to use transfer paper or something like that.
You might also put some iron-on thingy on the back, so the back of the stitching doesn't get caught when you use the pocket. The others will tell you what it is called, I am not sure. Is it Vilene?
