As you know I've followed your technique on most of my crewel pieces but wondered why not on some twill... this is my first experience actually gluing embroidery...Kind Regards....deborahstadeschoenekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06760016351002769857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4426331239878441437.post-85742896366777908262016-12-08T17:44:44.220-05:002016-12-08T17:44:44.220-05:00The "muslin under your embroidery" mantr...The "muslin under your embroidery" mantra comes out of the Royal School of Needlework. Having said that, it was not used under brocades, linen twill and other heavy fabrics. I use the technique all the time on any fabrics that I consider "swishy". It has its place.
