I have been playing with freehand embroidery to make cool embellishments for my purses. I use water
soluble backing to draw my stencil on then sew the design on netting or some other type of sheer fabric. Once I am done I then run water over the design and the backing just disappears. It is wonderful. I think water
soluble backing is one of the best things out there. It gives you the stability to be able do the freehand embroidery without hooping. I can hand draw the designs and then go to town. I have two sewing machines setup on my table, one is setup for freehand embroidery and the other setup for straight sewing, so I don't have to worry about changing everything out when the mood hits me. I will be showing finished products in the near future. Till next time...
