Help transferring print to burlap?

Question

So I can't print on the burlap because it is for a big sign. I'm trying to make a similar sign to this

I was wandering if I could use this technique using sharpie rather than printing letters....also if you could further explain?

I would buy the stencil for the lettering a hobby store carries stencils, and use spray paint for fabrics its holds up to washing  You can use a sharpy pen but it will bleed if it gets wet and will not hold up to water You would have to use a fabric pen or spray links below.
 

You can buy stencils here http://www.michaels.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-Michaels-Site/default/Search-Show?q=stencils%20letter%20stencils&start=0&sz=12

Some fabric pens you can use: http://www.ebay.com/bhp/fabric-paint-pens 
Fabric paint http://www.ebay.com/bhp/fabric-spray-paint.

If you have great free hand drawing skills then no stencil would be needed but for clean lettering I would use the stencil because the fabric ink is permanent

hope it helps

I would stencil and spray paint.  Stencil with painters tape to prevent bleeding, and spray from a good distance away to avoid drips.
