A FSL Bookmark more suitable to the smaller book, I think. 12.5 cms.(5 inches) minus tassel. Stitching the butterfly did cause hassle by thread breaking - it is quite a dense design. I made the bookmark tassel by threading small silver coloured beads onto a 'silverknit' knitting medium (can't call it wool, because it isn't).

My apologies Engela, I purchased set from Secrets of Embroidery NOT Emb. Library.
292Absolutely beautiful elenu..I am doing one of the Little Black Tee FSL Designs, The Penelope, a very long job, was having problems with thread breaking. I am trying Floriani Wet'N Gone for the stabilizer, 80/12 needle and R-A Poly Thread. Bobbin thread is Pacesetter Poly. What are you using ? *4U

I used Sulky Ultra Solvy stabiliser Sqdancer, a new 80/12 needle, Madeira rayon 40 thread with Starlite 120 poly bobbin thread. The breakages were, mainly, on the butterfly body which is very dense, thankfully not too big an area!

I am not familiar with the design you mention Sqdancer but I hope you have success with it.
27071This is very very beautiful, not worried about the beads the rest is so beautiful it took my breath away whenthe page opened and I could see it better. I think if the thread is going to break i might try industrial strength cotton. Where did you get this design from.
