Hello,
I am about to embark on a project of embroidering a redwork large style shell of St. James onto the front of an Altar Frontal for the Church. I am using a copper colored metallic embroidery thread. I am planning on using the fusible, mesh type stabilizer for the back and water soluble for the front.
Working with metallic is a pain. Can I use a white (or brown) bobbin thread without having it look terrible? The background fabric is a goldish tan.
Any other suggestions? I have one chance to make this look right, or the whole project is ruined.
Thanks,
Jon
