Any tips on how to finish this piece in terms of colors and stitches . Liked the colors at first but now I feel as if something is missing .

Embroidered birthday card I made for my fella’s dad.

Talk about born talented. I was embroidering and my step son looked bored so I showed him what I was doing and he wanted to try. I saw a post the other day of someone’s 4 year olds first piece and it was adorable, I asked if he wanted to draw a design or just put the needle through. He wanted a design but couldn’t decide so I drew this for him. All I did was 2 French knots for the eyes. Look at how amazing this is! He wants to fill it in next week he’s so excited.

This is the first time I’ve actually sat down and embroidered something like this. It took me 5 hours and I’m so proud

Hi everyone !

i’m currently trying to figure out a lot of things in patch making process. I saw on some YouTube videos that patch creators sometimes use a scanner/laser cutter to cut out and seal perfect patches.

The laser seems to be a wonderful tool but it‘s really expensive.

Does someone have ever try to cut out complicated patch shapes on a Cricut ? Is there a process that I’m not aware of ?

thank youuuu

1st freehand lettering I've done. And on my "Concert Jacket" sleeve. 2 hrs of work.

Reference to my current favorite band. And my favorite color.

I decided that Van Gogh's bold brush strokes were a good way to try out thread painting with a lot of grace for chunky blending.

This group gave me such amazing positive feedback after my first project, I quickly started another! I hope you like this one too! Thank you for the support!

I am a beginner - just wondering how you stitch so the drawn pattern doesn’t show? Do I go above/below the line? I find it’s hard to get the stitches even when I do it that way.

Thanks in advance!

I'm relatively new to embroidery and I was so excited with how the letting is turning out I had to share. It's a birthday gift for my mom so it limits who I can brag to 😆

I’ve bought transfer paper and will draw my pattern onto that this time, to hopefully make my life easier. Previously I’ve drawn a pattern, then traced it onto the fabric.

First step: trace/draw the pattern!

Any advice people might have for the whole process is very much appreciated.

I’ll keep reddit updated with my progress for my own motivation and for continued advice ☺️

I asked for a beginners set for my birthday in December and my little sister got me this set. If I’m honest I thought this would be way too difficult but luckily with a few videos off of YouTube for the stitches I’ve managed to finish it. I don’t think I’ve got the hang of the fishbone stitch though so if someone could share any tips or links I would be really grateful! Also I bought a piece of felt to sew onto the back but I’m unsure of how to do it so I might save it for the next project
