Brace yourselves--I am about to impart upon you a piece of knowledge that will make your life as an embroidery professional sew much easier! Mostly everyone knows the importance of using a water soluble topping when stitching items with nap (such as the mint blankies, minky spa wraps, minky pillow cases and fleece blankets), but it's somewhat difficult to remove all of the topping without leaving gummy residue behind.
While at Market recently I had the chance to talk to other industry professionals regarding different tips and techniques for machine embroidery. There are bunch of creative people out there and I draw a lot of inspiration from them, especially when doing applique work on seersucker items from the Mint line.
