Appliqué with embroidery thread question.
I'm working on a project. My appliqué pieces are already attached with fusible web. I now want to do my blanket stitching with embroidery thread. Pattern says to use 2 strands and I am not liking the way it's looking. It's a brown house on a light background. Using thread to match the house. Should I be using thread to match the background? Or try a single strand?
Also, should I be doing this with a hoop? It is very floppy. Or shoul I try a tear away stabilizer? Worried about the hand stitching tearing away during removal.
