Pam P, the leaves are machine embroidered ITH . I hoop two layers of organza fabric with two layers of water soluble stabilizer in between the organza. When the leaves are stitched, cut them out as close to the stitching as possible without cutting the stitching, place them in water to dissolve the stabilizer, dry, press between two layers of cotton fabric and go around the leaves with a craft soldering iron to melt the excess organza. The leaves designs I used were from John Deer - 3D Effect Fall Leaves. I use the same coloured embroidery thread in the bobbin.
