Choosing the correct threads will make the designs pop!
CHOOSING THREADS
For this collection, the cutwork really speaks for itself! The simple designs allow the cutwork to stand out and create the extra
dimension that would otherwise be standard embroidery. For the base fabric, we stayed with a simple white cotton, but for
the appliqué fabric, we went deep into our fat-quarter storage to find a lovely set that featured simple variegated hash marks.
For thread, find tones that match the appliqué fabric in a way that brings out the embroidery. Instead of an exact match, go a
couple shades darker or lighter to tie it all together. We used Floriani brand thread, but feel free to use the brand of
your choosing.
