Hummingbird Greeting Cards

Project Description

It’s totally possible to embroider on paper—even with metallic thread!

Stitching on paper is ideal for combining with other coloring media; I used colored pencils on one of the cards.

The basic tricks are similar to any embroidery:

  • Choose the right design
  • Choose the right fabric, or, in our case paper
  • Hoop it without damage to the machine or project
  • Use the right stabilizer, thread, and needle
  • Make sure your machine is optimized (speed, tensions, clean) for your project

So just what are those for paper? Check out this blog post: 15 Top Tips for Perfect Machine Embroidery on Paper.
