How to Embroider on Loose Linen Fabric

When embroidering on loose or open-weave linen, proper stabilization is essential.
Use a medium-weight stabilizer underneath the fabric, and always place a water-soluble or heat-away film on top of the linen before stitching. This top film prevents stitches from sinking into the fabric and keeps details clean and crisp. After embroidery, gently remove the film according to its instructions.

This elegant ballerina design will add grace and tenderness to your embroidery projects and inspire creative ideas for beautiful, meaningful handmade pieces.
