Question I have three questions on Embroidery.
1. Could you please tell me what Pearl cotton is? I've read about it, but am clueless as to what it is.
2. I have done a few kits, and am having trouble finding embroidery kits at the stores near me. Any ideas?
3. Also, I have a simple picture I would like to trace onto canvas and don't know how to do it. Could you please tell me what to do?
Thanks so much for taking the time to help strangers, I for one really appreciate it.
Thanks again, Karen
Answer hi karen,
pearl cotton is cotton thread with a pearl like sheen to it.
as to kits, marymaxim.com, herschners.com, to name a few.
to trace a picture onto canvas, xerox it first so as not to ruin it.
get a permanent black med. point marker. put picture under the canvas and trace with the marker.
thank you for the good words. i enjoy helping others.
