  • A water soluble nonwoven and a stabilizer. For instance, Freudenberg’s Vilene Soluvlies / Solufleece
  • Padding polyester
  • A piece of fabric
  • A lace or ribon
  • Machine embroidery threads (we are using glow in the dark embroidery thread Amann Thread Isa Texlight that absorbs light energy, and then releases it as a glow when in the dark.)
  • Temporary adhesive spray. Before you begin working, test your temporary adhesive spray on your water-soluble stabilizer.

Let’s embroider!

1. Hoop the Water-soluble stabilizer and embroider the guideline using running stitches – it’s colour number 1 (photo 2).
