CHOOSING FABRICS
For this collection we chose to use a solid cotton for our base fabric. Reason being that the designs
are fully embroidered and using a busy patterned fabric would take away from the design itself.
Don't let choosing fabric become stressful. Here are a few easy tips to help you pull threads to
build your palette. First, try using a reference. A reference can be pulled from online or even off of
a page of a magazine. Match your threads to the colors in your reference. Second, use a fat quarter
bundle to help you establish thread colors. You may not be using the fabrics, but you can match
threads to the fabrics in the fat quarter bundle to build a cohesive color palette.
