I have yet to try embroidery (although I really really want to; my project list is just humongous at the moment), so I checked with Rachael from Imagine Gnats to find the low-down on embroidery stabilizer. Not only will you find a blog on Racheal's site, but she has some beautiful free graphic downloads and embroidery patterns in her Etsy shop! Here is one of Rachael's embroidery patterns, which is just adorable!
This is what Rachael had to say about Pellon embroidery stabilizers:
"My first real project with hand embroidery was when I started using it for the faces of rag dolls. The only real hand stitching I had done before was cross-stitch with my grandma, which I found to have been completely different... especially when I decided to try to hand embroider faces on upcycled cotton t-shirts. Pellon Tear-Away stabilizer was a life saver, and remains the only way I can hope to accurately embroider on stretchy and somewhat unpredictable fabrics."
So there you go! If you are a seasoned embroiderer, please enter to win some great prizes! If you are like me and have grand plans to embroider someday soon, please enter as well! You have until Friday, February 24 at 11pm CT! Good luck!
thanks for sharing my embroidery :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing that I embroidered was a set of butterfly pillowcase when I was 7 yrs old, I am now 60 yrs old!! My grandmother taught me, so everytime I embroider it brings back fond fond memories of my grandmother. I will teach my granddaughter as well....have to keep this tradition going!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't used the ones you have pictured but I have used the iron-on on the bolt. It works well and you don't need a hoop for hand embroidery
ReplyDeleteI love to embroider pillow case tops. Old fashioned I know but they are so very pretty when you get them done.

ReplyDeleteI was taught to embroider by my grandmother. She made all of us Christmas ornaments every year. First they were all hand embroidered, then she bought herself a machine and all of our ornaments were machine sewn. This past fall she died and I inherited the machine. It was hard for me to sit down with the machine and work on it until November, when I realized I needed to make everyone in the family a Christmas ornament honoring her memory. It opened up a new world for me and I am excited about making more gifts.
ReplyDeleteI would be in embroidery heaven if I won this! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
