Would these work for embroidery projects?

I don't see why not. They are thick enough...actually that's a pretty cool idea. They hold their shape nicely after washing and have a border.

I would think they would be fine. I had an initial embroidered on the ones I bought and they look fine.

Hello Karen, I purchased white ones and I think they'd work well for embroidery. The weight of the fabric is substantial enough to support the embroidery. I'd wash them first though. Good luck!

I believe they do. I have used them on 3 different Brother embroidery machines. I really like them.

I don't know very much about embroidery, but the fabric is your basic canvas with some coating material so I would think that it would be okay for hand embroidery, but might not be sturdy enough for machine embroidery. The dimensions were a little smaller than I anticipated, so designs would have to be fairly small.

I think these would work well for tie dye. The label is very faint and should not interfere.

Yes, I think they could. They are strong for being a plastic needle. So if any plastic neddle could then these could also. Our biggest problem (which is not really a problem) is to find what to do with 40 of them. The one my daughter (6y) has been using for her projects has lasted her weeks now.

If your embroidery machine has a pcmcia slot then yes. I recommend checking the manual of the machine.

I don't think that I would use these for delicate work. You could cut the fibers down, but then you could also go to your local craft store and buy exactly what you need.

I bought these for that same purpose and no...they won't work for that. They are very light-weight and delicate.

Hi, don't worry asking questions is how you learn. You simply use an embroidery hoop. These tear away sheets fit 4" x 4" hoops nicely and will hold your project in place.

Yes, these would make for any clothing project (just line dry since the dryer will dry up the paint over time)...and it is not to hard to get off the skin-but I didn't get much on mine.

Hi Dolly. I think these towels would be ideal for embroidery. They are very similar to the type of towels my grandma embroideried on years ago. They washed up nicely and work well. Hope this helps! Shawn

Yes, they will do very well holding thin fabric. They clip tighter than clothes pins. I have used them on many different kinds of fabric.

I'm not sure about embroidery, they are a little thin and stiff. I heat ironed on little decals, using a towel to keep the heart from melting the apron.

I think these would work. They are like the flour sack towels my grandmother did embroidery on to give to others.

I wouldn't. I'm an experienced quilter and work in a quilt shop. For general machine Applique I would recommend Pellon wonder under (not heavy duty), misty fuse or steam a seam. It is a little less gummy for your needle and far less expensive. I use this to transfer hand embroidery designs onto fabric with my printer or copier. Good product but not right for what you are going to do in my humble opinion. Have fun!

Not sure what you are planning to use these for, but I use them to transfer embroidery patterns -- so I just cover up the tracing lines with my embroidery. And most of the embroidery I create is not washable anyway -- so it would still have the tracing. I've found these to be one of the best products to transfer patterns -- much better than the pencils and less fussy than the printer-based transfer options. The only downside is that if you press too hard on the paper, the ink tends to bleed -- so it requires a light hand. Also, the tips are pretty thick for very fine embroidery patterns -- I wish that they produced a "super-fine tip" version of these pens for some of the small, very detailed patterns that I copy.

What a great idea! Yes, you could do that, and I'm going to as well! They are large and stiff so I think it will work best with a little padding under the paper you are stamping. I used them to make clay ornaments.
