These designs are from Allembroidery $3 bargains. The horse and the tree are in one set and the little doilley is from another lot.

I have a question, the horse was done in rayon and kept fraying and breaking all of the time, yet the others are polyester and did not do either. Am I only supposed to use polyester thread for fsl? I also used 2 layers of wss.

I'm partial to horses, so you can guess my favorite, but I really like each one for a different reason. Well done!

Sheryl, you are doing wonderful work - I love these designs - wasn't that a great sale on AE? Try the same design that was giving you trouble with the other thread - see how that goes - then think about - whether or not you recently changed the needle on the others or the one with the difficulty or if the thread is old, too? Let us know - what you figured out? Hehehe! *4U

Thanks Shirlene, and yes what a great sale it was, the trouble was which ones to get!!! Thanks for the advice shirlene, same needle, and I actually tried the advice of "Americangirl" about putting it in the freezer and it still broke but, only about 5 times instead of about 50, the first

shirlener88 by shirlener88 13 Oct 2008

Well, the freezer trick - worked on the most part - so it must have been that the thread was old and needed the lift. Hehehe! Thanks!

sherylac by sherylac 13 Oct 2008

yes, it did, though never heard of that before but, will remember now

I use overlocking thread to do FSL 2 reasons, 1: its cheaper 2: no problems with thread breakage, hope this helps...****

Lovely designs. Is it variegated thread you used for the tree or more than one colour? The effect is very pretty.

if your rayon cone keeps fraying, it means the thread is getting to old to embroidery with. the tread maybe a new cone to you, but could have been setting on the shelf to long. i have used rayon thread for fsl before. i hope that this helps. *4u:)

These are very cute.
I was told that if your thread keeps breaking to put it in the freezer for 30 minutes, not any longer. It is worth a try.
