thanks toogie, I used a heat erasable pen to draw the lines to place it straight.. they are called a Frixion pen I think made by Pilot Pens, they come in RED,BLUE,GREEN & BLACK
I love these pens...I use them all the time!

Beautiful! I don't know why I've never thought of embroidering on sheets but that's a great present! Did you prewash?

Yes, and make sure not to use a dense design, I made that mistake once.. thanks for looking

Dreamy! Who wouldn't want to go to bed beneath these beautiful sheets! Please share what type of stabilizer you used. Wondering what the back of the flat sheet looks like. Also, do you open the seam on the pillow cases and then resew them to hide the stabilizer and stitches? Would love to embroider a set of sheets. I have sheets exactly the same color as those in the picture. Mine need some pretty embroidery too!

I actually used a medium tear-a-way the design was stitched just below the top hem, the pillowcase was stitched through both layers I did use matching bobbin threads. If using a fine swirl type of design I use a WSS (water soluble stabilizer and then I can just put the top in water to dissolve hope that helps
Yes, your "how to" advice helps immensely. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.
