Project Needs & Notes:
- A sweater - Sheet mesh cutaway stabilizer,
such as Sulky Soft 'n' Sheer or Floriani No Show Mesh -
Water soluble stabilizer for topping, such as Sulky Solvy, to
prevent the stitches from sinking into the sweater knit - Seam ripper - Temporary spray adhesive
- Thread for embroidery (the design used in this example calls
for Madeira Burmilana thread, a 12 weight wool/acrylic blend -
you can also use BurmilanaCo, a 12 weight cotton/acrylic
blend) - 100/16 sharp sewing needle
- Tailor's chalk Note: Tailor's chalk is best for marking
dark colored fabric, as it tends to last longer and show up
better. However, this wax-based tool may leave residue
if used on some synthetic fabrics. It is best to test a
small corner of fabric before committing to chalk.
