When embroidering with colored thread on a very light background one must work to avoid the threads on the wrong side shadowing on the front side. I recently heard that some hand stitchers are using a Pelon product called "Stacy". This is ironed to the wrong side of the fabric before stitching is started. According to the rumors I have heard the extra layer does not cause problems with the embroidery stitches and prevents the shadowing. Has anyone tried Stacy? Have you successfully tried anything else? One of the designers suggests that you stitch through two layers of muslin. I find this awkward and would prefer an iron-on product. All suggestions will be appreciated.
