How to machine stitch onto card

 I use a six inch white or beige card


  •  You will need three cards to make two finished cards
  • open your card and on the left, draw you image in pencil
  • in black thread and making sure your tension is correct, use a medium stitch length and follow the lines you have drawn in straight stitch.  Zig zag is too severe.
  • If you have any fancy stitches on your machine you can add these to make more of an effect.
  • you can also embellish aafterwards with beads or hand stitching.
  • When finished cut your third card in two and use one half to cover the left hand back glue in place.
