Embroidered cards are fun but can be frustrating. I have found that Sulky Ultra sticky is the best way for most cards to be fixed to the hoop. If you go to Embroidery Library's website they have a tutorial in their projects sections that will be very useful. Try to use designs without a lot of restitching or heavy satin stitching as these will tear your card. If your design does tear away some, cut a piece of iron on interfacing or stablizer and it will secure your design back in place. DO NOT REMOVE your stablizer after stitching your card. Cut it to size and leave it to stablizer your card. I used to teach a class and my students just could never get enough of that class. I have tons of ideas for cards through out the year.

211078I like to thank all of you for the good advise. I like to know if I can use normal glue if I embroider on fabric. greethings Yvonne

No, if by normal, you mean the white glue like we used in school. It get hard when it effectively holds the card stock to the stabilizer and makes the stitches sew incorrectly. You must use something soft like a temporary adhesive spray or glue stick.
34172There are two or three very good tutorals on http://www.artisticthreadworks.co... to help you make these cards. Good Luck!

It is a specialty paper. You can buy it online many places. Here is one place to go:

I've also seen it in some craft stores and maybe you can buy it in scrapbook and paper supplies stores. I can't tell you exactly. Depends on where you live.
25533I found two tutorials on embroidering on cards. I hope these help. I have also become interested in this topic so I am glad you asked. I hope others have tips to add. *
943thanks for asking this question. Now I have learned something also. *4u
33871If you want to embroider straight onto the card there are a number of things you have to consider.
1. Choose a good quality paper.
2. Don't hoop the card, hoop stabiliser and attach the card to it with a bit of glue stick or 505 temporary spray.
3. Choose a design that's not too dense or it would perforate the card too such an extent the design or parts of it become detached. Line drawings are excellent, satin stitch lines a definite no-no.
Have fun trying!
145196HI, HAVE NOT EMBROIDED STRAIGHT ONTO CARD BUT HAVE PUT CUT OUT EMBROIDERY ONTO THEM.

932here is the link to the card of borduurmiep
25533Thank you trovato to ask this question, it is a time of the year in which we should love to do that. i had asked that by answering to the project of borduurmiep, she had post some days ago a lovely embroidery on papercard, but I had not obtained an answer.*4U
25533When I make cards I embroider on to fabric and then carefully cut the design out and glue onto the card, ususally with a piece of gold/coloured paper somewhere. Sounds odd but works well. When I have embroidered onto card I am not too keen on the results. BUT knowing Cute someone will be along who is a whizz at embroidering directly onto card
