    Embroidered Rope Tray for Fall

    November 17, 2023 /

    Embroidered Rope Tray An embroidered rope tray makes a stunning centerpiece for your fall table. Place a scented candle in the center of the embroidered rope tray, or add a fall-themed floral arrangement and a few pumpkins, gourds and decorative grasses. No one will believe you made it yourself! HOW TO SEW A ROPE TRAY Create a rope tray using 7/32″ clothesline rope (and this Embroidery Session as your guide), or purchase a readymade rope tray.

    Snowflake Wreath with Freestanding Lace Designs

    January 9, 2019 /

    Snowflake Wreath by Pamela Cox Create a wintry snowflake wreath using freestanding lace designs and winter white thread. A snowflake wreath fits my home-decor bill quite nicely. I live in New England and the next few months promise to bring continual snowy-weather.  It seems only fitting that snowflakes take center stage on my Sulky-challenge wreath. My real inspiration for the snowflake wreath began after searching several of my favorite embroidery websites looking for possible designs.  The perfect set for the snowflake wreath, “Light and Lacy Snowflakes” was found on Embroidery Library. www.emblibrary.com There were two collections of the FSL snowflake designs, each available in three sizes.  Since they say that…

  • Machine Embroidery Series: Rayon vs. Polyester

    June 12, 2017 /

    Rayon versus Polyester Thread Rayon versus polyester: which thread to use for machine embroidery? Crayons, oil paints, water-colors, and even chalk are ways in which an artist expresses creativity. Almost all of us began our machine embroidery love affair by stitching designs in a 40 wt. Rayon or Polyester Thread. Embroidery supplies and techniques tend to be very personal, and we may have, at one time or another, engaged in a somewhat excitable conversation in defending our choice.
