Machine Embroidered Line Art Note Cards

I discovered  line art machine embroidery designs and saw the possibilities! Many designs are available for purchase and download on the internet. I owned an embroidery machine years ago which eventually bit the dust and wasn’t worth repairing. I decided to
purchase a Brother PE535 embroidery machine. Not the Cadillac of machines with all the bells and whistles, but I didn't really need all that to create
my cards. It does a lovely job and I'm able to create these great, simple little note cards! 

I download my purchased design onto my computer and transfer them onto a USB drive and into my embroidery machine. I embroider my selected design onto a piece of 140lb watercolor paper cut down to 4 x 6 inches which I’ve adhered to my stabilizer with several dots of fabric glue. All this fits nicely into the embroidery frame. I cut away the excess stabilizer from my finished design and using double sided tape attach the embroidered card onto a note card that is slightly larger and create an envelope for my finished card. There are many tutorials online explaining in more detail how to embroider
greeting cards if you’re interested.
