Aurifil Floss
and a FREE Pattern!
A bit back Aurifil was kind
enough to send me their amazing embroidery floss in matching colors with my
Enchanted Fabric line for Riley Blake.
They
are so beautiful and I love using them as they stitch like butter. And I admit
I have a crush on the wooden spools. Love them! They remind me of sewing with
my grandmother when I was younger. I loved to play with her spools of darning
thread on the floor while she mended socks. Wow, that brings back memories.

I wanted to play with these delicious threads some more, so I created this cute
little Choose Happiness Squirrel embroidery just for you!

I often run my embroidery
patterns off on Sulky Fabric-Solvy. It is self-adhesive and I can put it in my
printer, (laser or ink), and create the perfect diagram to stitch my design.
While it has the firmness and
feel of fabric, it easily washes away, placing no stress on the thread work. I
like to run my designs off with brown ink as black sometimes tends to run,
depending on your printer. It’s always good to do a test first. Use a light or
draft setting on your printer. You will really like the ease of using this
product with embroidery. No more hand tracing!
I also use a soft light
weight flannel behind all my stitcheries when I can. It helps to hide your
threads and gives your handwork a nice loft look.
I put my finished embroidered
design into a hoop and I think it’s adorable!
The
thread colors are intense and just pop when stitched into a project. They are 6
strands of sheer delight and are colorfast. That is so important to me. Aurifil
threads are soft and subtle and can be used with ease… I LOVE THEM! You won’t
regret investing in these threads.
What are you going to make
today?
So glad I found your site! (Aurifil sent me!) I love your tips to improve my hand embroidery, especially adding a layer of flannel behind the stitching cloth. Thank you for the free design...it's so sweet!
