These cards represent my second effort to stitch these die-cuts. Last time, I had a problem stitching the leaves. This time I used Size 8 instead of Size 5 embroidery floss for the leaves and swirls. I used the thicker Size 5 for the flowers. Using the thinner floss on the leaves helped a lot. I also started to stitch some of the leaves differently. Notice the leaves on the yellow Happy Birthday card.
This time I noticed the edge of the small die left an embossed line on the cards. It is most noticeable on the pink card, but its on all the cards. It is especially annoying on the cards that feature the rose in the corner since the white space should be clean and smooth but has lines showing.
When I post my third effort, Ill share what I did to help avoid those lines.
