You can make great clothes for yourself, friends and family by embroidering designs on T-shirts and sweat shirts. I love using variegated thread so I don't have to keep rethreading my machine. As a full chested woman embroidery on the front of my T shirts and sweatshirts have hidden a world of dribbles. You can add to the fun by using the same thread and sewing a little decorative stitch around the neckline and or sleeve edges or cuffs.
