  • The Avid Embroiderer Presents: Candlewicking, September 19, 2008

    Embroidery has always been evolving and creating so many beautiful stitches and it is hard to keep up with all the latest techniques. One of my personal favorites was always the French Knot. I remember the first time I did that knot, I thought I had reached the highest level in embroidery. It was as...

  • Re: Gaps, Puckering, Outlines

    Margie, I just looked at the towels you are doing and they look like the same type of fabric that I am using right now,it is very thin cotton. this is only a suggestion, you might try using a basting stitch before you start your design to hold everything in place while the design is stitching out. When...

  • Re: Stitch Density and Fabrics

    Well, I guess my first question ,is what are you using for stabilizers? Are you hooping it or are you going outside the hoop? If it were me I would use a sticky on the hoop,then an iron on,light tack tear away on the back of the sweatshirt.Then lay it on the sticky,and embroider it out side the hoop...
