Hello Beverly,
you are such an expert in this field. My problem is this: DD destroyed two of her still wearable polo shirts by tears or cuts in visible places. I meant to mend them by embroidering over those spots. Since I haven't got an embroidery machine, I thought about needle painting, a technique especially suited for my gear, since I do own an BSR (which is a Bernina Stitch Regulator, a little device that adapts the speed of stitches to the speed of transport, invented for machine quilting, I guess).
Now, what kind of Madeira product shall I put under the spots? I bought a test package that holds, as far as I know, all available embroidery film etc. products. I had meant to close the tear with ironing the fleece under, and then stabilizing it with embroidery.
Please be so good and help me, will you?
U.
