| I bought a very pretty sweater coat today in the thrift store it
is 85% wool and 15% polyster and it is in beautiful fall colors. I would like to embroider some fall scences but I never have embroidered on sweater fabric and I was wondering if anyone has and could share what you need to use..... Thanks, Mary |

| Sweater knit is not the easiest thing to embroider. You have to stabilize the knit from underneath and use a design that isn't very dense. |
|
| Whenever I embroider on anything stretchy I always use stabilizer on top and bottom. I like to use wash out on top. And be sure not to stretch the material too much in the hoop. Good Luck! |
