Preparing for machine embroidery…
Preparations for machine embroidery should also include the consideration of unlikely combinations of thread in order to represent particular surface textures, reflections, and shadows. I have sometimes combined commercially produced sewing machine threads with commercially produced embroidery threads as well as textured or metallic threads originally produced for knitting or crochet work. Machine embroidery can be sewn over a foundation of metallic crochet thread applied through the use of hand stitching, or specialty metallic machine threads can be sewn over hand embroidery in order to depict reflections and splashes of light.
