Happy New Year Everyone!

I hope the new year brings you all that you want and more…and lots of embroidery stuff too! The fluffles (wild bunnies) have decided to put my newest collection, Retro Style Cocktails, on special, even more than I did. I put it on sale for $3.99, but if you purchase it on January 1st or 2nd, it will be just $1.25. Use the discount code of 2020 when you checkout. You can thank the fluffles!

With this design pack being Mylar, here are a few tips on its use.

1.    What color of Mylar is the best? For most designs, opal is the choice. However, experiment. I have used colored Mylar with very cool results. NOTE: The Retro Style Cocktail set needs opal colored Mylar for the stitching of the drink to show through. Also, monofilament thread is used which helps to make it look like glass.

2.    When opening the package of Mylar, separate the pieces. You only need one layer of Mylar and most packages come with 3-5 sheets.

3.    After you embroider the placement line, lay the Mylar over the stitching to completely cover all the stitches.

4.    Stitch the tack down line, then the overlay stitches. NOTE: Mylar needs to be used with design digitized for Mylar. A standard fill design will not let the Mylar show through.

5.    Tearaway excess Mylar on the outside of the stitching after the overlay stitches have completed.

6.    Mylar is polyester and can be laundered. Launder your project in cool water and hang to dry.

7.    Also, saves the scraps. I have placed several small pieces over an area when I have not had a large enough piece. Once the design has finished, you cannot tell that scraps were used.
