Steps To Complete
To create this unique embroidery style, you'll need:
|
First, spray the stabilizer with temporary spray adhesive and smoothly lay the fabric over it. Make sure to avoid bubbling and bunching. |
Hoop both fabric and stabilizer taut in an embroidery frame. Attach the hoop to the machine, and load the design file. |
Before you begin stitching, loosen the top thread tension on your embroidery machine. |
Use a 100/16 sharp sewing needle to accommodate the thick thread. |
Embroider the design. Remember, similar colors will blend together best. This cat uses: 1: Madeira Burmilana 3756 |
After the embroidery is finished, unhoop the fabric, and use a stiff wire brush to brush the embroidery. Madeira makes a Lana Hard Brush specifically for this purpose, but any stiff wire brush will work. For this design, it's best to brush in a downward, motion, with the direction of the fur, just like you would an actual cat. |
