I have a question: Can anyone tell if I can & how I can go about embroidering on top of this seat cover? It has a very long pile, & they are single strands each. Is it to loose for me to add an embroidery on top of this? Or is there a way that I can?

I know that "WHITE" isn't very pratical & I did buy a choclate brown towel sew that I could try & make one. But I have white as an accent in my newly renovated bathroom & this was on SALE for $2.99! Sew I either get a cover I can sew on or a pattern for $2.99! Good Deal either way.

First thing, pick your design and once you know how large it is and have decided where you are going to place it, I would do what Jerrilyn once suggested:
get some spray starch (the type you iron) and spray and iron the pile, as flat as you possibly can, over the whole area the design is going to cover.
I would probably iron from the centre outwards.
Then I would hoop some good quality medium weight CUTAWAY stabiliser, place the seat cover on top of that, pin it in place, then do a basting stitch to hold it firm.
Then I would baste a layer of either fabric type WSS or Dry Cover Up, on top, making sure it is held down very firmly, as flat as you can get it, before you baste it down.
Then I would stitch out the design of your choice.
I hope this helps. hugs n roses, Meg

I was actually just thinking & wondering if I could put a layer of Organza on top & then wss on top of that & cut away underneath I wonder if that might work out OK

Yes, Meganne, that's how I'd do it. You can use a white Tulle but you will have a devil of a time cutting away the excess with that high pile, so I'd just go with what Meganne says about the fabric type WSS. (the kind you use for FSL). Use a fuller design still or it will get lost in the pile- no redwork. ;)

well thanks sew much because I was just about to change to a design that was less then dense & more of an open one! Boy am I glad that I came back to check first! Thanks again! Hugs Loralye

If you could print your design so you know exactly where it would go. you could 'shave' it in that spot.
And the design will keep any loosened pile from shredding.
We trim back the thick pile in the seams of fluffy toys.
Happy Stitching

Along with all the other great comments you might put in a fresh 90 needle& slow your machine speed one level depending on the density of the design. Looking forward to seeing your project.:~D
