How To Mark Stitch Lines for Embroidery on Felted Fabric Easter Eggs (and Balls)
Submitted by Pam on Thu, 03/07/2013 - 19:12Marking straight lines on felted fabrics can be a bit tricky. Chalk barely stays in place long enough to get the job done and marking pens seem to find the uneven texture a challenge. So I tried using masking tape and to my surprise it worked perfectly!
Masking tape clings just enough to stay in place while stitching and releases without pulling the fibers. I used the same pieces over and over - no need for a fresh piece each time a line needs to be marked.
Merry Christmas
