Hello and Good Evening,
Tonight I have a very sweet peacock embroidery for you. There are two peacocks on this piece as it is a dresser scarf or I suppose it could be used as a table runner. It is sweet as it is, but I could definitely see this embroidered in teal and purple variegated flosses with a gold filament thread ran throughout.
This design measures 6" wide x 5 1/2" high. I cannot give credit as I do not know who created the design or who did the embroidery.
The easiest way to use this design is to download it to your computer and print the design on a product called Transfer-Eze. Transfer-Eze is like a very thin sheet of water soluble stabilizer on a sheet of printer paper which you can run through your printer - this opens up a lot of possibilities does it not?
This is what this design looked like after printing it out on the Transfer-Eze. Next, roughly and generously cut out the design, peel off the paper, and place it where you would like the design to be on your fabric.
The Transfer-Eze will stick to your fabric like this and you can just stitch right through the Transfer-Eze and your fabric. You could even use the original colors if you would like. When you are finished stitching just soak your piece in water and the Transfer-Eze will dissolve away, just like magic. Your fabric and threads do need to be washable though.
Transfer-Eze is fun and very easy to use. Give it a try.
I hope you had a good day today and good night,
Terrie
