Hello! I'm relatively new to machine embroidery, but I have recently become obsessed with it.
My DGD has also, but I do all the work. She comes up with the ideas. She has requested a butterfly bed quilt, which I am to make; the designs have already been chosen. She wishes to have the quilt patches alternate with filled and redwork designs. Her final request was that I embroider the redwork with a thread that is thicker so that it will stand out more.
I hesitate to use cotton because it will fade with washing; however, I've never seen polyester 30 wt. My other thought is to go over each redwork design twice so that it pops a bit more. Is that feasible?
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I'm at a loss as to solve this one with my little experience.
TIA
