I have been messing with this piece of art for about an hour trying to fill the hand with white. I created the line at the bottom of the hand to close the lines but still cannot fill it with white. I am doing these on maroon shirts so I'd like to just do a complete underbase of white and then remove the line I created. Can anyone help and let me know how you did it?

What I did, real quick, was import your eps file into CorelDRAW (I have X4, (should work about the same on X3 and earlier.....). Then I ungrouped the whole drawing, selected the hand outline and then converted that to a bitmap. Then did an outline trace on the bitmap hand. Once that was done, I could color the hand any color I like (Want a green hand or a blue one? ).
The problem is that the lines at the bottom were part of the same object, but were still unconnected.
I went ahead and connected them, making them the same element of the same objet, then I uncombined everything, combined and subtracted some of the smaller elements from the "white" elements, and combined all of the white elements together, so that you only have a black backgrount object now, and white inner objects.
If you want the black to be just an outline, you can duplicate the white elements, subtract them from the black background "outline" and you'll have the black outline the way you might want it.
Sorry, I converted your text to curves when I imported it, so you may need to replace it with your text again.
If you have any questions about what I did, just let me know.
