Mistakes, mistakes.....I embroidered these roses (Emb. Library) on toile so I could make a cover for an Ikea light but when I pressed it, I melted a spot. So...I cut around it and put Tack it over and over on the back and slapped it on the lamp. I took it off today and decided it looked pretty spiffy on the wall! NOW....we can decorate our walls, we'll never run out of design room!!

and then there is the ceiling, and the carpet - wonder how that would go in the embroidery machine. . . .lol

Great idea and the stitching looks beautiful! I think I need a bottle.

Thank you.

I was wondering how to stick embroidery to walls, windows etc. Thanks for sharing you did a wonderful job. I used designs from this pack for a lampshade for my mom. I used four different ones on an old lampshade that was falling apart. We could not find a lampshade that had the right metal part to fit the lamp. I will have to look for tack-it.

Ok, that's cool. I put those roses on a table runner. Now I might just have to decorate my sewing room walls with this idea. It's amazing what we can do with our mistakes. Hugs..Carol
