NEW Free Design for Easter

We have just posted our latest Freebie design to stitch up and enjoy for Easter.  A fun decorated egg hanging from a violet ribbon on a tree branch.

Lots of color and texture in the Easter design embroidered on a Dunroven House Yellow Stripe tea towel.  Easy and quick to stitch with #8 Perle Cotton threads.  Just click to go to the design and print out the pattern. 

540_Fabri-SolvyEggDSCF4369 Getting ready to do the embroidery was QUICK & EASY too.  If course I keep telling you about using our fabulous printable films on paper you can print on your copier….but they work so well!  Just print your embroidery design onto Transfer-Eze or Fabri-Solvy, pull the printed film off the paper backing and finger press onto your towel.  Voila!  You can stitch in just seconds.

If you haven’t tried the new printable film, order a single trial sheet to stitch your Easter Egg tea towel and give it a try.  You will become hooked!!

When you complete you embroidery, just put the towel into the sink with a generous amount of warm water.  The film will dissolve in just minutes.  I like to swish the towel around while in the water to see the film dissolve!  Rinse in warm water under the faucet and dry flat.

Enjoy getting ready for Easter – remember the bunny is coming!

New Christmas Freebie for you

It is now only 25 days to the BIG Christmas Day.  Whip up a few tea towels or make ornaments with our December Freebie design . I embroidered Santa holding a mini Christmas tree on a Sage Green striped tea towel.  He only took a couple of hours one night to complete.  A hint for you to speed your embroidery.  Thread a crewel embroidery needle for each of the colors in your design.  You won’t always be pulling the thread out and changing color.  This little cutie would make a great ornament too.  Just do the embroidery on muslin and finish in your favorite way.  FUN! I used our handy dandy Transfer-Eze to print the Freebie Santa and finger press on our Dunroven House tea towel.  The Freebie design can be put on your light box to trace directly onto the fabric – BUT – toweling is a little thicker and rougher than muslin.  Using Transfer-Eze solves the problem.  The smooth Transfer-Eze film put on your towel gives you a nice de...

Transfer-Eze Embroidery Magic

Lots of us have been having a wonderful time using Transfer-Eze , the NEW water soluble film on paper backing you can use with your printer.  Instead of the tedious task of tracing embroidery designs onto fabric you can print the design on the Transfer-Eze. I printed a snowmen for a new design twice – one for Embroidery and one for Needle Felting on wool fabric.  Just pull the Transfer-Eze film off the paper backing.  To conserve the paper, I cut off one snowman and still have 2/3 of the paper left to print on again later! Dark fabrics are nearly impossible to trace an embroidery design on as the light from your light box doesn’t go through the dark fabric.  Transfer-Eze is just the ticket!   Finger press your printed design on the dark fabric.  I found the Transfer-Eze adhered better to the fabric after the fabric was washed to remove the sizing. The printed design shows beautifully on the film pressed on the dark red fabric. This is going to be EASY t...
