TIPS AND ADVICE

• After dissolving the interfacing, ensure the fabric is thoroughly dried

• When working with lace and soluble paper, consider using an embroidery design with a high stitch density
• For very delicate fabrics, consider using an additional interfacing beneath the soluble interfacing to provide greater stability during embroidery
