Working on NEW Designs

Today I gathered together lots of little goodies from around the house to take a photo of our new RedWork Easter, Spring and just because they are Bunnies design.

588-PhotoShoot

The instructions are at the printer so the photography is the last thing for our new pattern.  Watch for it next week! 

Back to working and having a great time playing around with a new Wool Applique pin cushion set….fun.

    I purchased a pattern before Christmas to make a picture for a friend. The woman at the fabric shop totally gave me the wrong fabric. I had faith that she knew what to use but it's my fault. I should have checked. Anyway, what type of fabric do you recommend so the red thread doesn't show through?

    Hi Lesley-Ann,
    We use our heavy weight muslin (milled in the USA!) for all of our RedWork. We have it with each of our RW patterns and in fabric category. Helps to minimize anything on the back! Don't jump too far when moving from design element to another making a long stitch on the back.

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...
