I double the heavy water soluable, make sure you are using a 90/14 sharp, then what thread are you using. I find that the rayon does that, but if you use a polyester embroidery thread, it works better.

Now you can use a 50wt cotton thread as well and put in both the top and bobbin. On occasion that happens to me, but since I have changed them up a bit and using the double water it works best.

Anastasia

are you guys doing those on a normal machine or an embroidery machine? I saw some thread painting techniques using that water soluble stuff using a normal machine that I'm thinking about trying.

My Bernina is a normal sewing machine, just has the embroidery module to go with it so I am using a programmed design. I have used the water soluable, be sure to get the heavier stuff so it holds up so much better and you get stiffer ornaments, to do thread painting and it works wonderfully. I have done dragon flies with it and angels.

Thanks for the info! I appreciate it. Really.

And now.. for the final reveal, of my other ornament. Sadly neither of my swap people have commented so I don't know who prefers which, so I'll end up boxing them up and picking randomly and putting one of their names on it I guess. I'll give it a few days to see if they comment.

Beautiful!!! Well worth hamburger fingers!!

Both are beautiful. I do not mind which one you send me.

We tend to have a scrappy tree. No theme, just ornaments that have been collected over the years.

Very nice, I love the snowflakes and the ornaments, both colors.

I am working on a few new ideas, now I need to find pipe cleaners!
