Instructions fruit and veggies

These are fairly large, dense designs. Best results will be obtained with the right combination of fabric and adequate stabilizer. I like to spray starch and press fabric before embroidering to help eliminate puckering. Color choice for thread stops is up to you; use a colorful variety of fabrics and thread. Try shading leaves and fruit with a lighter shade, darker shade or a different color to find the combinations you like best.
