Here are a a few of the Valentines that we made with the new designs. Complete project instructions can be found on the Projects page.
Sew designs on fabric and insert into a ready-made card, or cut a decorative hole in the center of a card and insert the embroidery. Decorate with ribbon Raffia, and miniatures.
Sew directly onto cardstock and use decorative paper to hide the stitches on the inside of the card.
Please check the size of the designs before you purchase them. If you are going to split the design, then choose the size appropriate for your project. If you want to sew the design without editing or splitting, be sure that the design's dimensions are not larger than your hoop's sewing field.
