Embroidering On Sheer Fabric

RE: Embroidering On Sheer Fabric Post By Karen (Guest Post) (07/29/2008) The April/May 2003 issue of THREADS Magazine.has a great article on embroidering on sheer fabric. The article suggests a wash away or heat away stabilizer,as tear aways tend to distort the fabric. The right needle is also important. A needle for silks is recommended.

The benefit is it is easy to tear away when you have finished the project. A dab of clear nail polish on the knots also stops it unraveling.

Also ask at your fabric store for it. Great stuff.

Launder with caution! Those thread ends look real messy when they get loose.
