Machine Embroidery Crafty Tip
You can use an embroidery design to put into a flexi hoop for hanging on the wall- put cling wrap over your design then stretch the outer flexi hoop over it and it looks good, keeps it clean. Use your embroidery thread cuttings -drop a bunch of them onto a black ready cut card, cover with clear tape and you have a colourfull card for any occasion
