Duck/canvas Fabric

15 years ago

Hello

I was at the store and got duck/canvas fabric. The girl said the fabric would be to thick/hard for the machine to embroider on. I am wondering if any of you have done it.

Can you please tell me have you ever embroidered on duck/canvas fabric? What kind of needle? What type of designs to use? Did you prewash? Will prewash make the fabric softer?

Thank you B.
