How do you go about making lace with an added embroidery [like Marg's bunny bookmarks] Do you put some washaway stabilizer onto the lace, then do the extra embroidery? ie. monogram.
I am looking for a Hereford Bull embroidery. Not too large. Does anyone know of a good one?
Hi all Aussies, where is a good place to shop on-line for pre-wound bobbins and other embroidery necessities?????????

Have been given 6 x1000 spools of QA variegated colours. Need some advice on what designs to try it with, and any other advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
My collection of old sewing machines includes two hand-wind ones. The picture of the treadle that Sewmon posted reminds me of them. They still sew quite well. One is a Pfaff and my favourite.

Remember the 'Candle challenge' - is there a winner or was it a particpation exercise only? There were some really beautiful exhibits that's for sure.
While we're on the subject of needles - I mostly use 80/12 metallic for embroidery but someone gave me Schmetz Gold which are 90/14. Is this the Titanium? I have not heard about these before.
have been reading post by Jennip. Would be great to have a crazy patchwork block digitized, using the antique stitches on my Pfaff. Oh if I only knew HOW??
Not interested in digitizing,but would like to 'arrange' my design on the computer before it's sent to sewing machine. Any cuties know of a suitable free program that will do that. Thankyou.
Hello to hjordisal, a new embroidery enthusiast. I'm from Australia, hope you enjoy this great website.
Hi all, yesterday my comment about Redwork and the Colourque craft. Please just use ordinary colouring pencils, not wax crayons. Do it on tightly woven, plain fabric,homespun, or calico.
39th wedding aniverary today!! Just bought 5 new tyres on the internet! But did buy $220 worth of fabric yesterday at Spotlight. So that makes it okay.
Thanks for all the answers to my question.Thankyou Crafter, I just knew that I had seen it somewhere! To Bevintex, glad you've got your machine home. Mine is back is Adelaide at the repairman.
