Re: placements

If you really want to be sure of perfect placement for your duster, I would first print out or draw around you chosen patterns,then cut them out and place them on your duster,keep arranging them until you get the pattern that you like the best ,now pin them in place. Nothing works as well as using this...

The Avid Embroiderer Presents: Trapunto, September 5, 2008

Embroidery has been a time honored craft for many centuries. When cloth was first available, the first embellishment was probably some sort of thread design. The first known examples of embroidery were dated 3000 B.C. and done by men. The first commercial embroidery machines were invented in the mid...
