Never a silly question. I've stitched many embroidered cards but I've still learnt tips from the other answers here. I cover the back of the embroidery with fine special stamping paper to match the design or the occasion.

17214I have just posted a design which I especially made for card. The designs have to be very simple but the results are lovely!
57492These are stitched directly onto card. Sorry the picture is a bit fuzzy!
140717if you have a design that is to heavy for paper, you can stitch it out on material, fray the edges, put a little glue on back, put it on the front of your card, then just stitch around the edge. you will have to put an extra piece of paper inside to cover the stitches. It turns out real cute.
41781No question is silly. We all learn something when questions are asked. Thank you for asking. Sarah.
253108No problem! Hoop some tear away stabiliser and lay your paper or card on top. Handmade paper works particularly well. Don't forget that you can only stitch redwork type designs. Anything denser will just mangle the paper! Have fun and enjoy.

На трикотаже и шелке.
I also embroider on paper.
On knitwear and silk.

Hi Katulle, I would love to see some more of your designs. especially the cross stitch ones that you did. I lost them when my hard drive crashed. G
92175Yes you amy embroider on card stock. Paper, since it is made of wood, will dull your needle faster. Tissue paper has been used as a stabilizer especially with slippery satin fabrics. There is less lint with paper than with cotton or even polyester so the inside should be fine! Live Laugh Download Stitch!

Also, designs for paper & mylar have fewer stitch holes than for fill, fsl or applique. An even spaced fill for mylar works well for paper. Be careful of satin stitching as it may cut completely through. Live Laugh Download Stitch!
