NEW THIS WEEK -

Embroidery machines
have transformed how
we add our personal
style to gifts and
decor. We're
not limited to
pre-printed towels
or linens. We make
our own, and do so
with creative
flourish.
Embroidery Library
has more than
100,000 designs to
inspire your
creative muse. And,
we draw and digitize
new designs every
week, so we're
always keeping up
with the latest.
These new designs
are replete with
flourish, filigree,
charm, and charisma.
The themes and
subjects are varied!
Below you will find
animals with elegant
detail on their
bodies and tails,
and light-stitching
motifs for bed
linens. Christmas is
only two months
away, so there is an
exciting variety of
holiday designs,
too.

|
Wild With Flourish |
Woodland animals
have ornate and elegant
flourishes on their wings, bodies,
and tails. These designs have retro
flair and a whole lot of style!
Stitch them onto quilts, towels for
cabins, campers, and bohemian
residences, and reusable totes for
the grocery store and farmers
market. |

Delicate Baroque Flourish
|
Light and open
designs are perfectly paired with
smooth and neutral fabrics. Add
these designs to sheets and
pillowcases, flour sack dish towels,
and quilter's cotton. Traditional
design motifs include fleur-de-lis,
the iconic symbol of France - and
Louisiana! The emblem is set against
a whirl of baroque flourish. |
|

 |
Available in four sizes:
7.44" x 7.78" and

Trumpet vines are
a classic addition to bed linens,
and table linens too. They blend
beautifully into the baroque
flourishes. The design uses only one
color, and has light and open areas.
It's perfect for the most delicate
of fabrics! |
|
| |
 |
Available in three sizes:
7.73" x 6.88" and 6.58" x 5.86" and 5.45" x 4.85" |
English ivy, in a
whirl of baroque flourish, is a
traditional and classic addition to
home decor. Add to pillow covers,
percale bed linens, and curtains.
When embroidering light designs onto
transparent fabric (like a sheer
curtain), use a water-soluble
stabilizer. Vilene is an excellent
choice. And, use a sharp sewing
needle to embroider the design. A
sharp sewing needle has a finer
point than an embroidery needle, and
that means it will make smaller
perforations in the fabric and
stabilizer. The stitches will look
crisp, neat, and clean! |

Available in three sizes:
7.79" x 6.63" and 6.89" x 5.87" and 5.71" x 4.87" |

is one of the oldest on earth, and

shower curtains, and patterned in
upholstery fabric. |

Baroque Backgrounds
When we're drawing
and digitizing the designs, we
sometimes use a light baroque
background to add extra style or
artistic effect. Many customers have
requested those backgrounds to be
offered separately so that more
designs can be used with them. As
always, we're happy to oblige!
We've created twelve background
flourishes in a variety of sizes for
your creative uses. If you'd like to
see how the design looks with
another on top, have a peek at the
originals: The design on the left is
the background from
Gallic Rooster. And, on the
right, the background from
French Bulldog. |

Request of the Week: McNab Sketch &
Silhouette |
Alexander McNab
was a sheep herder in Scotland and
experimented with breeding to
develop a phenomenal herding dog:
the McNab Shepherd. These brave and
energetic dogs can herd animals of
all sizes, from little sheep to
cattle! Susan's best buddy is a
McNab, and she requested a sketch
medley in his honor. Thank you,
Susan, for the suggestion!

one where you can request a design for us to draw and digitize.
It's a very popular program, and we
are scheduled through 2015 and beyond. However, we still
want
to read your ideas. Send your suggestions and design
requests to
stitch@emblibrary.com. We'll add them to the growing
list of designs to be created!
