I did once, when I first started doing embroidery and it came out real nice. Unfortunately it was a gift and back then I did not use to take pictures of my projects I wish I did.

cool now to go look for a tutorial on what i need i know i got plenty of the paper but what kind of stabelizer
You don't have to stabilize the card. If you use iron on stabilizer, that will hold the card long enough for the first few stitches. Just iron it lightly.
I used sticky back stabilizer for the one I made.
Just hoop the stabilizer and then float the card over.

I bought card stock to embroider on and it turned out horrible. I used Guterman poly thread and an 75/11 needle. Think I used tearaway on the bottom. Hopefully someone will tell me what I did wrong. I saw the tutorial at emblibrary they reccommend KIWI paper.

You probably used a wrong design. When you embroider on card stock you need to use a design that is not too dense and has either, very few or no outlines.
I embroidered on card stock using one of Sue Box design and it turned out perfect. Give me a sec. and I will post it.

wow that is very nice
Beauiful...
I used a number 11 needle and R-A rayon thread.I very lightly ironed it on iron on stabilizer after the stabilizer was hooped. Just enough to hold the card for the first few stitches.Don't hoop the card.
It's a lovely design.

gorgeous, I will give it another shot.
No Mary, you don't just hold the card. You iron it on iron on stabilizer very gently once the stabilizer is hooped.

Is this for greeting cards? If you don't have to hoop the card & stabilizer, then what moves the card when the machine is embroidering?

You hoop the stabilizer, and gently iron the card to it after it is hooped.

boy i am glad i asked this question now i need iron on stabelizer oh well christmas is 3 months
I'm still confused. What size hoop do you use for this?

i would guess whatever size you have mine only has a 4x4 embroidery field
mine is the same size as well. how do you fit an iron in a 4x4 hoop?
Depending on the size of the design you want to put on the card. For this one I used the 140mmx200mm hoop.
It works just like normal embroidery.
Just use the tip of the iron on various parts of the card. That is what I did. Just don't press too hard otherwise it might leave marks.
ok thank you. is this technique for greeting cards?
Yes.
thank you
Your welcome

Perhaps someone can tell me a freebie that I can get, preferably for Christmas that would be a good design to attempt this again.
