by katydid 25 days agothanks +5Sweetie, I know all these brave Cuties embroider on the paper of toilet paper. I only make covers for the toilet paper. It's so easy. I will share with you. I find that felt or other non raveling fabric works well. Cut 4 1/2 in wide and 18 in long. Hoop stabilizer only, because hoop might cause burn on felt. Spray adhesive on stabilizer and lay felt appropriate to design. Stitch and cut away stabilizer. I attach Velcro to each end horizontally to be adjustable to any size roll. That's it and so easy. good luck whichever method you choose!!!

Fabulous idea. I will have to try that myself! Thanks for the tip.

by misscharlie 24 days ago
I will try this also.

by grannyo 24 days ago
I like this idea a lot. Thanks so much for jumping in here.


by misscharlie 24 days agothanks +2Hey Joye, I have done several TP projects. I like to use TP to test designs. If the design is good I have a pretty TP, if the design is bad I still have TP. No waste.
Now what I do is take a used fabric softener sheet (Bounce)and put that in the hoop.
Next I roll out 3 squares of TP and fold in half making sure the design will be on top when rolled back up. Put that on top of the Bounce dryer sheet.
Then a sheet of tear away stabilizer. Hoop it all together stitch out the design and you got pretty TP! Hope this helps *

by dpickel 25 days agothanks +3I followed the Embroidery Library instructions for my brave firtst attempt and it came out perfect. They have great, step by steo instructions.

by clawton 25 days agothanks +5Embroidery Library has great directions and sllakin gave you the link. It is fun to do!


by jayemcee46 25 days agothanks +2it's easier than you think - I have done 1 recently and have pleased with the result in spite of poor quality paper. Will use better quality tp next time though and post pic. Tried to use the bath lady design but my software couldn't read it, bit miffed about that. Jo

I like the sewmuch4 retirement link, because that is the exact way that I have done 'embroidery' on soap.

Here are a couple of tutorials. I hope this helps. I like to use cutaway stabilizer, and I normally slow down the speed of my machine a lot. I also like to 'sandwich' the stabilizer by folding the toilet paper and putting it in between the folded layers. I hope this helps a little. Enjoy! And... please take pictures of your project, and share it with us. We love to admire others creations. :)

if it comes out good I have a wedding on the 4th and would love to give as a gift was going to do towels but think soap and TP would be great too. I am new to this whole thing though so all trial and error with me LOL
by stitchship 22 Sep 2008
Well, I did several sets for gifts, and they turned out pretty nice. You can even go to a dollar store, or a Walmart type of store and buy one of those little wooden nail brushes, and use the same technique recommend for candles and soap. I wrapped my sets with cellophane paper and tied it with a bow. I hope that you are happy with your results. Please keep us posted with how it goes. I am excited for you!
