My great-nephew, James, Loves these two characters, so I embroidered them on a sweater for his 4th birthday...I also made him a special birthday card....Thanks for looking!

You are just so clever. Is it very difficult to embroider on knits. What do you use for stabilizer and I presume you use a topping. I just think it looks amazing.

Thank you, Sarah...It really was not difficult. I used a poly mesh soft cut away stabilizer and a topping and I did not hoop the sweater. I have done this several times with great success.

You really have mastered the technique of stitching on knits! I'm really nervous about trying to do that, but you sure have created a wonderful gift for him! He'll enjoy wearing it and know how much you love him.

I can't see his Mother getting him to take it off probably will want to wear it to bed. It is just so perfect.
Well done stitching on knit and having it look so good.

Thanks so much...I am sure he will get a lot of wear out of this and it is machine washable too...he just started Pre-K last week and is loving his new school.

Such beautiful work on this jacket Kim. Your great-nephew will look fabulous in it. I too am so impressed with your stitch-out on the knitted fabric. Love Chris
