Floral Frame Font Question - How do I get the fringe part around the design to look like fringe? I'm sure I have to cut the thread, but not sure where. Thank you.

You will need to clip the bobbin thread and then it will become fringed. Good luck with it, I haven't done much of this kind of design, but it is fun to do.

You can also use water soluble thread in your bobbin and then you won't have to worry about snipping wrong threads..Just wet it and poof the threads are dissolved. I use it alot on fringed designs...but make sure you mark the bobbin so you don't use it on regular stitching..lol...(I stitched and entire design using it)lol

I thought about telling her about using the water soluble thread in the bobbin. I've been told it could be used, but I haven't tried it yet.

Thank you for your responses. Since I don't have the water soluble thread, I will cut the bobbin thread in the middle. The Embroidery Library video was great. Thank you.
