The "Happy Birthday" redwork design is from Designs Sew Fine. I stitched it with variegated thread on fabric. Then I attached that fabric to card stock (by stitching around the rectangle) and frayed the edges. It's a nice unique card that no one else in the world will send her! :)
And yet again...unique!
ReplyDeleteI have a Question when embroidering on onesies fabric, do you use a needle for strech knit?
regarding needles...
ReplyDeleteWhen my MIL gave me the embroidery machine, she also supplied me well with stabilizers, needles, etc. So for about a year I used regular embroidery needles exclusively on all my projects.
A couple months ago when I was ordering some thread I picked up a package of ball-point needles recommended for small lettering. I've begun to use those on the "special delivery" onesies and have noticed that they stitched out slightly better.
When I have more disposable income, I'll invest in an array of needles and do a better job using what I'm supposed to for the different types of fabric. But so far I have been very fortunate to have things stitch well with just the standard sharp embroidery needle. I think my machine has only eaten one knit item, and that was user error. :)
