Melissa over at SoChickHandbags has made an awesome tutorial on an idea we’ve played with a few times… embroidering a design over the edge! We did it a little bit on the pocket of this tutorial, and mentioned it as one of the 13 design trends to make your embroidery more awesome.
Melissa took it on with gusto and made an adorable winter snowflake tee. See how she did it and her verdict on embroidering over the edge over on her post.
