I grew up on early 2000's My Little Pony, so I embroidered my very favorite pony, Star Catcher. 🩷 I used a screenshot from the "Dancing in the Clouds" movie and traced it onto the fabric before stitching. The background was drawn with alcohol markers.

I’m working on my third project ever, and I’m not sure what stitch I should use to cover the letters. I’ve practiced some lettering before and I never managed to make it look super neat, so any tips are more than welcome!

A free Anchor pattern I am following calls for the plain stitch to be done atop the lettering after the stem stitch. Does anyone have any idea what they might mean in embroidery? I cannot find much on the internet.

I would love any advice for my next free hand project. And way to make this look more interesting? More textures?

I’ve only done kits before and wanted to try creating something myself! Any tips for improvement?

I just finished a project and for reasons not relevant to this post, I don't want to sew a backing on. I would like to glue it. Do any of you have a glue you prefer for this type of thing? There are a lot of fabric glues available that I have no experience with, but I also considered a spray adhesive or just using a paint brush to create a super light coat of elmers. Its an ornament so not needed frequest washing. I just want it to lie flat and not have glue ridges. Thank you all, happy sewing and may you not accidently stab your fingers!

Any suggestions on how I can make it look nice? :)

I decided to switch from my usual crochet to trying my hand at embroidery.

This is my first project, and it’s finally done.

Any advices or tips ? My lazy daisy stitch is not as regular as I wanted, do you know how to improve it ?

I'm making a gift and I want to attach an iron on patch to a plastic CD case, but I'm not sure what the best way to do it is. I have no experience with iron on patches or embroidery.

After doing a little research online, it seemed like the recommendation for adhering a patch to a hard plastic surface was to use super glue instead of heating it with an iron. So, once my patch came in the mail, I opted to try this glue method with maximum strength Krazy Glue. But it didn't work. It very easily came off right after drying.

At this point, I felt like I'd ruined the patch but I still tried heating it to see if that would work, and of course, it didn't.

Is there antyhing I can use that will act as a strong bonding agent in this situation? The CD case is from Amazon and there isn't much info about the plastic material. I really need to use this patch for this gift and it's unfortunately becoming time-sensitive – I'm not sure what to do!

Thanks for any help.

What kind of stitch this is and is it easy to do on a linen shirt for someone who hasn’t done embroidery before
