I went to the Circleville quilt show today. I found Snow Days by Crab -apple Hill . Well the lady said use EZ sream for the red work . How? I have both in my hand but it is as simple as I thought.

Could you give more details? I don't know what EZ sream is. I'm familiar with Crabapple Hill designs and in fact am working on the one called Vintage Tin. It is hand embroidered scenes that I will make into a quilt. I bought the fabric kit for the quilt from Crabapple Hill, also. Love their embroidery designs.

Is EZ an iron on interfacing? When I do hand embroidery, I always use a non woven fusible interfacing on the backside. I usually use muslin and this prevents any tails or threads from short travelling from showing through.

Some people put fusible or a double layer of material for Redwork. I just use a really good quality fabric with a tight weave.

Thanks I did some research and found it is called Pellon 360 E-Z stitch . I am not sure if it is fuse-able. This is my first red work. Not sure what I am doing.

I love redwork, especially incorporated into a quilt. I look forward to seeing yours posted on the board one day!

I just finished "Over the River and through the Woods". I did the stitchery on muslin, and then backed each block with Pellon non woven fusible. It gives the blocks just the right amount of body, without making them stiff.
