Remove fleece
As decorative pendants for the newest bag, I have embroidered two pieces of cork with different motifs: with the first letter / monogram of the first name of the recipient and the other part with a graphic reminiscent of an open book.
Since I wanted to loosely dangle both parts of one another on a short support, the back of the cork fabric had to be reasonably free of the embroidery fleece deposited during the embroidery process.
To remove this fleece, I proceeded as follows:
- Tearing off the surplus on all edges - from the outside towards the inside of the embroidery.
- Scratching the inside of the embroidery fleece with the back of the thread separation and unwinding by hand, if possible.
- Then pull out remaining tiny parts with flat tweezers.
- Possibly. Brush with a firm hand brush.
- "Wipe away" of leftovers with the lint roller.
Unfortunately, the photos are so merciless in magnification, and still show leftovers, but in reality, I find the result so that I have this type of processing then pulled through - which I did not want to sew together the two embroidered cork pieces on the outer edges , That would have diminished the effect of embroidery then ...
Who cares:
The woolly, non-shiny yarn - the only splash of color to the otherwise simple touch of the bag - is the old pink "LANA" from Madeira (50% wool, 50% acrylic). I embroidered with a necessary embroidery needle, which makes this thick yarn super glide: The "Wool Lana" Madeira, strength 110/18. An embroidery thread suitable for embroidery (Madeira Bobbinfilet - Thickness 70_on the thread reel, 500m) rounded off the equipment and finally led to a stress-free embroidery, in which I only had to change the balance on the machine, because the cork fabric was very unruly when transporting (due to the programmed embroidery I have to use a special, coded presser foot and unfortunately I could not use a teflon foot).
In order to find the shape of the cork fabric suitable for the embroidery motifs, I inserted different forms into a Word document on the computer, painted the embroidery motifs on a transparent foil and then draped them onto the mathematical forms (rectangle, pentagon, cylinder ...) , So I could already see before, which form was best suited and did not distract from the embroidery. In addition, I could already read the approximate dimensions of the (expensive) cork pieces on the computer and then had optimally little waste.
