Description This was a little patch I made randomly today to test out what it's like to hand-embroider on minky. I must say it's a lot harder, because it's so fuzzy, it's hard to see if the needle is going in the right place, and it's hard to get all the fuzz under the thread.

I wouldn't normally use this fabric for making a patch, but I figured since I have to test embroidery on it anyway, might as well make a small cute patch in the process. I'll probably sew it on my bag later.

I guess it came out okay. I'm sure it'll look better with practice. I was rushing, mind you. I'm only a third of the way done with my current commission so I didn't want to take away too much time from it.

That's pretty sweet, how the heck do you get it looking so neat? I can't embroider to save my life, really need to be able to!!

Thank you

It takes a lot of practise and patience. An embroidery ring is very useful too. This came out a little messy though compared to my usual work, the fabric was really fluffy so it was hard to get it neat.
