If you embroider on towels, velvet, fleece or other "hairy" fabric, be sure to use thin water soluble film as topping, to prevent stitches from sinking into the fabric. This is VERY important - without topping your project may be ruined.
Features machine embroidery designs by Cathy B. Park. Cathy has been creating machine embroidery designs for over 12 years and also offers a selection of free machine embroidery designs to download. Her patterns come with step-by-step instructions including hiding mistakes as well as additional decorative stitches to enhance your projects.
Make sure that you always use quality threads and stabilizers. You can use designs over and over again - just change the colours that you use and it can make the design look quite different
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
