Thankyou

Dreamy! Who wouldn't want to go to bed beneath these beautiful sheets! Please share what type of stabilizer you used. Wondering what the back of the flat sheet looks like. Also, do you open the seam on the pillow cases and then resew them to hide the stabilizer and stitches? Would love to embroider a set of sheets. I have sheets exactly the same color as those in the picture. Mine need some pretty embroidery too!

I actually used a medium tear-a-way the design was stitched just below the top hem, the pillowcase was stitched through both layers I did use matching bobbin threads. If using a fine swirl type of design I use a WSS (water soluble stabilizer and then I can just put the top in water to dissolve hope that helps

Yes, your "how to" advice helps immensely. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.

Beautiful! I don't know why I've never thought of embroidering on sheets but that's a great present! Did you prewash?

She's already seen them and is rapped, there's not hide thing from her even as a kid she could always sniff out the gifts.. and at 30 she hasn't changed

I love it! Brings back memories, that's one of the first things I tackled with my 1st embroidery machine./Lillian
