Somebody ever has embroider over clear plastic? If so. What kind of stabilizer and needle do I need?

Yes, I sat in on a sit and sew, and this was used, but the project was small and we did not use stabilizer. We embroidered small Christas designs on it, cut circles out, and put them into a clear Christmas ornament. The plastic itself was a rather heavy weight. I need to see if I can find that and put it in projects to show. Don't know what I did with it. Oh goodness - if it is in my sewing room I may never find it. heehee :)

What are you attempting to do with it? I would recommend a heavy weight tear away, with a very sharp needle. I have done one or two things and the tear away does come out, pretty easy as with other works. A flower for your cleverness.

I am thinking to make a bag. My neighbor asked me for it because she has to bring a clear bag to her job. Thank you Loretta. Flower and XoXo

I suppose that the bobbin thread is the same color than I will use in the design. Am I right?

Wow, a bag - that is a big job - why don't you use a wash away and see how that works out? PLEASE put your finished item in the projects and thank you for helping out your neighbor. *4U
