Embroider in a different way - Transfer an image of your choice with transfer media and embroider small details. This idea is perfect as a gift for Silver- a golden wedding or birthday.

That's how it's done:

For this idea you need a photo of your choice. You have to print it mirror-inverted with a laser printer. Apply the transfer medium generously on the fabric and place the printout of your photo with the printed side down on the coated surface. Afterwards, spread the transfer medium on your photo again and let everything dry thoroughly

Moisten the photo well with a sponge. Gently stroke over your photo until it is Paper completely rubbed away and your photo only remains. If a light grey haze has settled over your picture, apply a layer forNapkin varnish textiles and let everything dry well

Now stretch the fabric into a Embroidery hoop one. As in our example, you can add a bouquet of flowers and other small image details with different embroidery designs. Stitches such as the straight, back, rose, nodule and daisy stitch are suitable for this image. Use the stitches that you like best visually. Tip: For a finer overall picture, it is recommended to use Embroidery twist to divide and only embroider with 3 threads

Once you are satisfied with your result, you can cut back the excess fabric and embroider with either Handicraft glue glue it behind the frame or gather it with loose sewing stitches behind the frame.
