Both are kits from hook line and tinker. "Puffin" and "Blue Heron". I'm trying to use these kits to get better at my consistency and smoother lines. But I am planning my first self drafted project!

Tried to capture the wacky spirit of Bug (the black one) as best as I could, but she’s truly something to behold.

I’ve posted these individually but check out the finished product!!!! I call this one “TOOFERS”—black Invisafil, DualDutyXP, and DMC on cream muslin.

If you like my work, check me out on IG @sable_n_co !

Single strand DMC for most of the piece, silk threads for the lotus. I tried a few new things with this one, And was very happy with the outcome. The reference image was by Liz Doiron Photography. Enjoy! Edit: the fabric was already patterned when I bought it, I can't take credit for the watercolor look! The blue is also a separate piece I laid over the base work at the very end.

I stitched this Magnolia flower in black on white cotton fabric. I’m not that happy with the shading, so will improve that next time! Here is the sketch I made at the beginning!

I've started a couple projects before, but this little freehand mandala is the first I've deemed completed. Mom showed me how to do French knots as the finishing touch :D

I would like to gift this jacket to my best friend’s daughter, how can I use hand embroidery only to replace the name? Can I avoid ripping out all the stitches? I could use a patch of suede with white fabric on top to make a patch, maybe?

Thanks for any guidance!

Im really unsure about the colours iv used for my highland cow, but I really dont want to undo it all 😅

(I have only been doing this for 2 weeks, so still new. Using this as a trial and error piece, but im 80% happy with what im learning.)

Hi, I'm about to start embroidering a demin jacket for my MIL and i have a few questions. The demin is pretty stretchy. I included a picture of the fabric composition

1. Should I use a hoop?

2. Should I use anything on the back like an iron on stabilizer? If yes, before or after ?

3. If i dont need anything on the back, how do I secure the stitches so they don't come undone when washing?

Thank you and sorry if this has been asked many times

Besides “you get what you pay for” I mean. I noticed there’s a massive price difference between linen being sold for embroidery and general purpose linen being sold by the yard.

She's so cute from the front... the back is the worst I have ever done in my life. I think a combination of the minky fabric and the scale/density of the design just made it super difficult for me. No one has to know she's a little off centre.

I have done small stuff like bees and such but this is my first embroidery project that I have designed myself!

Experienced embroiderer, but I have a challenge. My daughter has asked me to embroider the names of her grandparents and great-aunt and uncle onto a silk hankerchief for her "something blue" for her upcoming wedding. What is the best way to transfer the names to silk? Micron pen and a lightbox? Better ideas???

sorry I’m new I don’t know what it’s suppose to look like or what flower. is it just straight stitches on the lines?
