Has anyone tried the Mylar yet?Connie in CO

i embroider, but am not familiar with that

I forgot,is it worth it to sign-up some where to get one free embroidery design :roll:

It's a opal colored paper plus other colors.You lay it on where your going to embroidery and it shows up threw the stitching.

Connie, I am not familiar with this......can you give me some more details.

I have not tried it yet but I have looked at it several times.. Are you looking at them at charmingstation.com?

I have read that you can do the same thing with saran wrap only you cannot wash it...

Here is a web sight,http://heirloomsbysharon.com.She tells you what it is and how it's made.

Gigi10 go to this wed site it has a wealth of information for embroidery and a video about mylar

I have a friend next door,she washed and dried it and came out fine.

Hey thanks I'm going to look there later when i have more time.Connie in CO

thats great.... now is there a difference between mylar designs and just plain ole designs besides putting the mylar in them? is the density of the design greater or smaller? if you try it let me know how it goes.

I've sampled doing it, and will definately use the technique for my ice fishing quilt--mylar and silk organza- definately not traditional!!!

Heirloomsbysharon is who I bought mine from. I did some Easter eggs designs a few years ago. It turns out very pretty. I did lace looking designs in side the egg. I don't have pictures. I was told you can use the irridesent wrap you find at the Dollar store. But don't use a hot iron and make sure to use a pressing cloth.

Me too, looks interesting, thanks for sharing.

I found what i was kinda looking for at Michael's I don't know if it's the same stuff or not,but I'm going to try it.

Sorry i for got to say the embroidery design doesn't have the density as the regular embroidery.

Now i am wiser. this is for machine embroidry.
