The designs are suitable for applique, decorative outlining, OmniStitch fill-in or outlining, fabric painting and a host of other embellishing techniques.
If youre appliquéing the hearts with a satin stitch, try this technique I saw on a $170 boutique vest. Add a few hand stitches over the satin stitches to add texture and dimension. Use embroidery floss, wool tapestry yarn or metallic threads to create large Xs extending over the top of the completed satin stitches. Another option, try a few straight stitches parallel to the satin stitches, leave a ½ " space and then apply a few more more stitches. Youll love the results and the value of your custom garment goes up with every stitch!
