Digital image to personalized heart-shaped fabric cover

Step 2Black and white.

Black and white.
Open up heart_template.psd in Photoshop.

Create a new layer behind the layer entitled "heart border."

On this layer create the black and white image that you want to turn into a large fabric throw. The ideal image would be simplified and ideally consist of one large inter-connected shape. At the very least it should not hundred of small shapes. The fewer ___ pieces there are, the easier it will be to sew later.

If you are not a competent artist, but want to make something that looks nice see the next step on how to posterize a photo with decent results. Competent digital artists can skip that step.
