Thanks for the info, I have embroidered on upholstery vinyl before and made a purse with it, red or blue work designs work great for this type of material. love the little tray you made. you did a supper job on it.
Thank you jenne. I liked it too and thought someone else make want to make some, for their upcoming Christmas giving. I think they make a handsome gift.
Lovely and practical! Thanks for your instructions...very easy to understand. I love ITH projects but this one is going to work just as well. I'm sure I have fabric...hahaha...and this will be a head start for some Christmas gifts. I'm guessing that redwork type designs would work best when using the vinyl. Thanks for sharing this and God bless. Avis
Fabulous piece! I made one out of felt, this one is so much better!
Thank you for the directions. Now to decide a center design.
So good looking! Great job!
I am glad you like it. It is a hit over here at my house, thanks to you!...Now I'm ready & waiting for your next bright idea! I'll give you 'till Tuesday, lol because I can't sew tomorrow, I am baby sitting Rylan, my great grandson Monday.
No joke, you saved me here for the men a gift.Thank you
Thank you for the instruction, Toogie. You make it sound so easy!
That is a great finished product. It could easily be done ITH (if you had a hoop big enough!)
Yes, it is a great item and the sites a Cutie told me about were ITH, but why waste a lot of stabilizer. It doesn't take long on a regular sewing machine.
Great job. Very practical. Did you use topstitch thread for the squares or poly?
I used my same poly embroidery thread, top and bobbin. After I sewed three sides, I would stop, and look at the first stitch I made to make up one square. I would pull my top thread through the back and hand tie about 3 times and clip the ends, then sew on to overlap, back stitching and hand tying those ends too, on the backside. Have I confused you yet?-lol
Thank you for those instructions Toogie!
You are so very welcome. The good thing about it is, besides being a GREAT gift for our men (!) you can make whatever size you want. Go measure the remote control and make one for by his chair, for his remote & whatever he keeps right at hand. Be sure to allow 3 inches for both sides and ends, that would cover your 1 1/2 inch sides/ends up, plus whatever size you want the bottom to be (where the remote sits).
