More often than not are they too small to fit into a hoop, so I stitch on other scraps and then remove them once the embroidery is completed.Queeniepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281330411053716603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-10208089141468694752017-03-05T07:52:14.628+09:002017-03-05T07:52:14.628+09:00I am so pleased you didn't use white thread, a...I am so pleased you didn't use white thread, as is the norm.

The random minty cotton thread might not have turned out just how you expected, but adding the other colours has made it really stylish! <br /><br />I like the way you have shown how you have framed the piece for stitching in the hoop. I usually use lots of scrap pieces stitched together to hold mine in place.<br /><br />Barbara xFlashinScissorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06408946289711452871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-42932562598989668312017-03-04T23:29:55.531+09:002017-03-04T23:29:55.531+09:00What I mean is that if you make a cushion, quilt, ...What I mean is that if you make a cushion, quilt, wall hanging or similar, the recipient will feel obliged to keep it.

The stitching is uneven and the design a bit rough, so when the card has done its 'greeting' the recipient can toss it away like a commercial printed card.Queeniepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281330411053716603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-88676452844433416262017-03-03T21:50:23.285+09:002017-03-03T21:50:23.285+09:00Isn't it disappointing when the thread you thi...Isn't it disappointing when the thread you think will make a great impression on the fabric doesn't?

I haven't begun the work yet. I found two threads this week that looked good on a bobbin but faded away on cloth, when sewn with 2 or 3 strands.
