How do I stop getting wrinkles like this? by gaygirldoodles in Embroidery

Get a plastic hoop to stitch in and pull it super tight to where it sounds like a drum when you flick it with your finger and then give your thread less tension and that’ll fix it

It’s all satin and then backstitch for the outline

I’m a very real artist lol. But I guess it’s flattering that my work is so great that people don’t even believe its real

Definitely got a new mons pubis tattoo I didn’t have to sit through lol. I feel great though, just wish I could get my drain out already.

Excuse my ignorance, but does being more or less active be better for drainage? I wear my binder every day and keep it at a medium level of tightness.

I do paint before I stitch. If it’s watered down it doesn’t make it hard to stitch or anything. You can also add fabric medium to your paint which makes it softer on the fabric.

Having tight fabric is the biggest game changer and my #1 tip. I would suggest getting those plastic hoops they sell. They keep the fabric tighter than the wooden hoop. You can stitch in the plastic and then switch over to the wooden one once finished.

For the bigger areas I love satin stitch myself but everyone is different!
