I embroidered this sweater for my daughter. I had never done anything on a fine knit like this and I was a little afraid to try it. I found a different type of stabilizer and it was new to me. It is called tear away-wash away. I used this over the sweater on the top, and a now show mesh on the bottom. When the embroidery was complete, I just carefully tore the top stabilizer off, and didn't even have to use any water to remove anything. I did not want to wash it prior to giving it. I think I have found something that I will be using when I do towels from now one. The design was from Husquvarna Flowerul, #142. I combined it and did edit to fit where I wanted it to go.

Thank you. It did not really turn out like I wanted, but was afraid of snagging if I tried to do more.

I edited the design, and picked something similar to put a bottom of the sweater. I like to see the flow of designs like that, but can not always get them the way i want. Have to learn to edit a little better. Thanks for commenting.

She does, and told me she has a pair of pink jeans to wear it with for a special outfit! She always gets cool at work so keeps a sweater with her.
