It's Official! LynMorr Sew Fun! is Open

I am SEW excited! My new shop on etsy LynMorr Sew Fun! is open and features machine embroidered bath towels, kitchen towels and pillowcase. At least for now that is what I am showing. Later I may branch out into other machine embroidered items. I enjoy watching the embroidery unfold. I like the process of finding just the right file, the perfect colors of thread and the proper item to embroider. I fell in love with machine embroidery right from the very beginning.

Please take a few moments to stop by. I will be adding new items all week. These are just a few . . .

Now that the shop is open I can be more regular in my posting to this blog. I have spent the last couple of weeks finishing projects and trying to get the best photography.

Thanks for stopping by. See you soon!

How to Embroider Card Stock

How to Embroider Card Stock from Lines Across

This is a tutorial showing you how to hand embroidery card stock. You can also do this with your embroidery sewing machine. The results are great!

Embroidery Library has a good tutorial that  includes a video plus a pdf which you can download for future reference.

You can make your own card stock or buy already scored cards and envelopes to match. It is a great calling card as well as nice hand-made gift. Cards, bookmarks, placecards, thank yous, etc are all ways of using this technique.

I believe I will make a few Christmas cards with my own handwritten note inside. Nothing says "I care" more than a special card made just for the recipient. 

Enjoy! Hope has been some help! Come back soon!
