Monogrammed Adirondack chair cushions I made for my DH. His friend generously made the chairs himself as a birthday gift. I Googled around to find a pattern and was able to find one on YouTube that gave instructions to make a custom size. Fabrics are specifically for outdoor use from Joanne's with coupons of course!

Fantastic work .

If anyone has tips to avoid the puckering for next time that would be great. I used 1 layer of cut away hooped and floated the fabric on top using tape, spray adhesive, and pins. Of course it looked great until I unhooped it. It can't be ironed without shrinkage from the heat. I tried it on a scrap even with low heat. Yes, I also did a practice piece but it didn't appear to pucker as much. Maybe it's an illusion. I also used a special needle that I will check on and add here later.

i bet the fabric just needs to relax and the slight puckers will disappear

Yeah, that fabric is tricky to embroider on. I tried a veggie design from Embroidery Library to put on a market basket. I was blaming it on the heavy stitch count, but I think it's the synthetic fabric...that's my answer, and I'm sticking to it! CERTAINLY NOT operator issues...

Mine didn't have a lot of stitches either but the coating on the fabric makes it unforgiving.

Excellent!

Wat a lovely gift of the chairs, and a great job of the covers. Well done. Sandra.

These are so great - just perfect!! Plus, I happen to love blue!
