embroidery

hi all,
For embroidering i usually use only anchor threads and cone threads.Some of our IL's have mentioned that they had used silk or pearl thread.Can anyone help me to know how they look like.Is it the threads used for machine embroidery or something else.Thanks in advance.

Re: embroidery

Query on whether to draw design or cut salwar and draw design

Hi all

re: Query on whether to draw design or cut salwar and draw design

If it a design with small flowers you can stitch without a hoop. If your design needs hoop, get the neck marked by your tailor.he will mark sleeve and sides also. you can use hoop and work.
