Embroidery Stuffs

These are the items I bought from US and SIL very nice to help me bring them back.... Cannot get them in Sg. I saw something similar (Stabiliser) at a place but they are full of dust, very old packaging like never sell out for yearsss and they are very very expensive. One small pack already 50$++

The black stuff with some metal rodes is a thread stand. This is very good! I bought one from SG and then the stand always fall Zzzzzm and the thread holder cannot hold the thread.... so this is really wow, very good thread holder!!!


These are the pretty AND EXPENSIVEEEEEEE metallic threads... pretty pretty.... but the 2 packs one sala le.

And then that roll of tape is AMAZING Tape. Said to wrap ard threads and also books/pipes etc... all the funny things and why its so amazing? it can be reused. I just tried it. Not bad.

Ring Pillow II Testout


I have increased the fonts, using normal and very little amt of gold threads for the test out. The fonts will be too big for a 5" pillow but will be okay for a 8" pillow. I am not sure if I want to amend the layout of the names
I am unsure if I should use 20.09.2009 or 20 Sept 2009. Given a choice, I will choose the alphanumeric fonts.... but since they chosen this unique date, it seem a waste to discard the numeric <20.09.2009>
Headacheeeeeeeeeeeee
The doves arent that nice......... the outline makes it ugly and its not aligned with the satin stitches. Thus, I am going to drop this design.
p/s I am testing this on red satin but actual pillow is cream or white satin. I just want to see the embroidery designs on a satin material............. thus i tested it on the red satin.
