Great effort for your first time. Never done cut-work, so can't offer any help or suggestions. Well done. Love Chris

Kudos to you for being brave and trying it. I think one of the biggest helps is to have very sharp, small pointed scissors to cut out the little bits. I think you did a super job.

Nice job...very, sharp scissors, cut as close to the under stitching as you possibly can without cutting through it...and if you have a tiny bit of fabric still showing, you can touch it up on the edge using a permanent market the color of the stitching...I use Pigma pens as they are totally permanent when washed and will not run into the surrounding fabric...

Beautiful work. I got my cutwork program for a Christmas present and still haven't tried it. I want to try it and I don't want to try it. If you get my thoughts. LOL

A cutwork program? Which one is that? .....I would like to know :) is it something for your particular machine?
I didn't use any program. ..its just designs digitized for cutwork!
Thanks for appreciating!

You have done a great job , especially on stretch material. Cutwork is so very rewarding. It looks great on linen using embroidery cotton rather than the usual polyester or rayon. This is a friends shirt I embroidered with a butterfly on the back as well.

I think you did a very nice job on it. I have never tried cutwork. Maybe I should think about it.
