I did hand embroidery as a child and learned ecclesiastical embroidery so I could make clergy stoles for my husband. Once you have completed the stitches, use warm water to wash away the water-soluble fabric stabiliser and then leave it to dry fully.

I learned to embroider when I was a kid, when everyone was really into cross stitch (remember the '80s? I’ve already gone through the basic instructions for making these bookmarks, so you can check those out if you want. I get my wool felt from Wooly Thread, usually, although many of these colors I picked up from Twining Thread before it went out of business. Draw around the triangle part of the bookmark so that your embroidered design is centred in the triangle, using the image as a guide.To enable personalised advertising (like interest-based ads), we may share your data with our marketing and advertising partners using cookies and other technologies.

It’s so sweet and I know I need improvement but I have no doubt that my next one (I am working on now) will be even better, and the next one better yet. This beautiful forget-me-not bookmark will make an excellent little gift for birthday, anniversary or on any occasion for any book reader. Eventually, I migrated to surface embroidery, teaching myself with whatever I could get my hands on. I did 4 of those 30 years agon and when they wore out I got an embroidery machine to make the next set. I would love a black one with diamonds please 😉 Thank you for being a part of our group, Amy, I always love to see what you’re up to!

Place the triangle on top of the square so that they are lined up correctly, using the image as a guide.
