There are so many different designs out there. Some of the most common we’ve seen include lettering/quotes, florals, and animals. But the possibilities are endless! And that’s exactly why we launched our new Vanishing Fabric Transfers – so you can create any design imaginable!

When picking the right hoop for your design, you can go with the traditional plastic or wood ones, or you can add to your piece with uniquely shaped hoops. Like this cute wooden hoop shaped like rabbit ears!
Carrots: Little Herb Bouquet
Some artists are creating three-dimensional pieces that extend beyond the borders of the hoop. We love these felted carrots that dangle at the bottom of the hoop, as well as this portrait of a girl braiding her hair.
Embroidered Pendant: DMC
Artists are showing off their style by adding embroidered details to clothing and accessories. Again you can see that florals are very popular!

Some artists are creating pieces that mimic famous works of art. The fact that these were done by hand is mind blowing!

We’ve seen a few people embroidering on tulle, which creates a cool effect and makes the design look as if it’s floating!

Other artists are taking embroidery to a whole new level, like this embroidery done on a tennis racquet! And some are inspired by embroidery and incorporate it into other art forms like tattoos (this one is a temporary one) and cake decorating!

Being the paper lovers we are, we found this idea pretty cool too! Think of all the fun card designs you can make!
