Hello… your work is lovely! I have just started embroidery and have realised the importance of fabric… I’m not sure I have that right yet. Could you please tell me what fabric you have used and also what is the best fabric for hand embroidery? Thanks much.

Hello Lakshmi - Thanks - Embroidery is therapeutic. I use cotton/polyester blend (looks like linen) or I use casement fabric for my embroidery. A stable fabric is easy to embroider - slippery fabric is a lil tough especially for beginners. Fabric choice also depends on what you want to do with the embroidery - cushion cover, dress material, babys clothes, etc

@@hazelembroiderydesigns Thanks so much for the prompt response… I have recently used casement and found that good compared to others I’d tried before, but I just wanted to be sure… am glad I wasn’t way off :) Will try the cotton polyester blend too… And you’re right, embroidery is therapeutic :)

Вышивка,конечно же, красивая, но рисунок изначально неправильный. Где вы видели фламинго, у которого "коленки" выгибаются вперёд, как у человека? "Коленка" должна выгибаться назад.

Спасибо за информацию. Я действительно не знал этого о Flamingo Knees. Внесем поправки в будущие конструкции. Очень ценю ваш отзыв!
