Hello all! Let me preface this by saying that I don't know that much about embroidery. I want to put gold couching on velvet. Should I make a frame big enough to accomodate the entire pattern piece? I would think that a hoop would damage the velvet, so I'd rather not do that.
What if I'm embroidering an entire skirt? Do I need a frame big enough for that pattern piece as well? Or....should it be embroidered on a different fabric and appliqued onto the garment? I'm not as concerned with historically accurate techniques, yet, as I am with just getting from point A to point B with as few migraines as possible. Thanks!
