Fabric, thread and stabilizer tips
For cotton, linen and medium-weight woven fabrics, use tear-away or cut-away stabilizer depending on fabric weight and stitch density. Hoop the fabric firmly, but do not stretch it.
For towels or textured fabrics, use water-soluble topping on top. It helps keep the peony petals, leaves and small details from sinking into the fabric texture.
Blue, navy, dusty blue, cream, white and green thread shades can work well for this peony motif. If you stitch the design on dark or patterned fabric, test the thread colors first so the petals and leaves stay visible.
