I have a scanned image of my handwritten signature that I need to have embroidered onto the back of a bowling shirt. It's black on a white backgorund, how can I make the black lines of the signature thicker and darker? Thanks for any help.

Trace the lines with the pen tool, then stroke the path.

Thanks...that wasn't too bad. It still was a little shaky attempting to trace a curvy signature. I'll keep trying.

How about the magic wand tool? Black on white should work well. |

Well remember that with the pen tool, the less amount of points you use, the better. What I usually do is click on every part of a signature (in your case) where there's a curve. So it sort of looks like a zigzag, but then you go in with the convert point tool and expand that line to conform to the curve of the signature.
That may sound confusing, I'll post an example later on if you don't get it.

That makes sense, in fact, it seems to be working. Thanks.
