CHOOSING FABRICS AND THREADS
Choosing colors for each design is easy, just keep in mind your color palette. We suggest choosing
a grouping of fabrics that all work well together. For our embroidered designs, we chose several
prints from a fat quarter bundle. We then matched the printed fabrics to a few coordinating solids.
We used the printed fabrics for our blank blocks to add a little variety, and stitched the design
blocks on the solid fabrics to allow the embroidery to stand out. Once the fabric is chosen, then
pick threads that coordinate with the fabrics. If all of the fabrics and thread colors go together, then
no matter what you embroider, the designs will look great.
