1. There is something you can get that will print that pattern on to the special paper. What you do then I believe is to iron it onto the fabric. I am sorry but at the moment I do not know the name but I will look for it and get back to you with an EDIT. EDIT I found more that I thought. It is called transfer paper and then to my surprise there was one spot that I went to that told how to make your own transfer paper. Practice a bit before you do the one you really want to embroider as my friend tried it and part of the picture did not come out right and she had to redo it. I hope all of this will help you. http://www.ehow.com/how_16241_transfer-images-fabric.html How to make your own transfer paper http://www.ehow.com/how_4814579_home-transfer-paper.html How to Make and Use Iron on Transfers: 9 steps (with video ... wikiHow article about How to Make and Use Iron on Transfers. ...

2. Trace with a transfer pen or use a light box (or tape fabric over paper onto a window), tracing paper, transfer paper, etc. http://www.ehow.com/how_5968_transfer-embroidery-design.html http://www.victorian-embroidery-and-crafts.com/transfer-method.html
3. Based on your use of the word embroidery pattern, I'm assuming you really want the Printed picture embroidered on to your fabric. To do this you will have to somehow get the picture digitized in a format appropriate for your embroidery machine... If you don't have an embroidery machine, you will have to take the picture to someone that can both digitize the picture for you and then use the resulting design to do the actual embroidering of the design on your fabric. In my area you could take it to "Embroider Me" who usually have a list of digitizers for the digitizing work as well as commercial machines to do the embroidering work. Hope this helps...
