Machine Embroidered Hardanger

by Lindee Goodall

Machine embroidered what? In case you’re not up on traditional hand embroidery techniques, hardanger is a type of drawn-thread work done on even weave fabric, often linen or cotton, and traditionally in white. It gets it’s name from a region in Norway although the technique itself can be traced back to more ancient cultures.

May 2010 Free Embroidery Design

by Lindee Goodall

This floral design is the epitome of simple elegance. Perfect for a Mother’s Day project, garment, or home dec item, such as a pillow. It fits a 4″ x 4″ or 100mm x 100mm hoop.

Embroidery Tip

  • Some embroidery machines and designs force a needle drop in the center of the design as the first stitch. While this is not an issue when stitching on most fabric, it will show on paper, vinyl, leather, and other non-woven items. If that hole will not be covered by stitches, manually advance the design to begin at the second stitch.
