balsawood 1.5mm thickness,,hoop tear away stabiliser, and stick balsawood to it. place water dissolvable stabiliser on top of the wood,then emb.gently place emb in hot water to remove the stabiliser,and then dry between 2 heavy books.
Thank you so much! I really love this site, how everyone offers so much help.
Tanuja showed us her beautiful box lid, and then frieda comes up with a source for the balsa wood. It's like we're all best friends! lol Does anyone know a scorce where embroidery designs are digitized specifically to sew on balsa?

a lovely rose for you!

This is awesome. I had heard you could embroider on balsa wood but have never seen it done before. My DH does woodworking. Looks like something we could do together as a combined project. A lovely rose for you.

Such a beautiful job and I can understand the low stitch count, otherwise the design would just punch out!!
