I asked many days ago about embroidery on plastic. I bought this bag at Dollar Store and made some flowers on it. It is for my neighbor. The designs are from Cute

I was looking at bags like that at our Dollarama a few days ago for same thing (different designs tho). I now wish I had bought a couple. This turned out lovely. Lovely flowers too. I do believe I have them. I will have to hunt up your post to get ideas on how to do this. *'s for you. ><>

Letvia did you use anything special so the plastic wouldn't tear away from the stitches? What needle did you use. I have found sometimes when working with plastic it sticks to the machine bed...great job..

I just used heavy WSS. The one that looks like fabric, and the needle is 90/14. Flower and XoXo

This really turned out well for you! Try a shower curtain next, other than hooping numerous times, it turns out really cute!;)

Did you have to open the bag up to stitch it? What stabilizer did you use?
Yes mimisews. I cut the sides because the bag didn't have stitches, I used cut away stabilizer on the bottom and heavy water soluble on the top, and after I embroidered it I stitched the sides. It was really easy, You should try. Flower and XoXo
I believe I will! Thanks for the info!
