Can I Embroider the Printed Fabric

Hi Erica,

Yes, you can easily embroider our printed custom photo fabric blocks. The brand new blocks are made out of a high quality cotton muslin, which holds the embroidery quite nicely using two and three-strand cotton embroidery floss.

If you use something heavier such as crewel yarn, ribbons or twine, or you plan to embellish the custom photo fabric blocks with sequins or other additions such as buttons, you may want to use a stabilizer on the back to give the heavier embroidery medium some support so it doesn't make the fabric bunch.

Once embroidered with cotton floss, these custom photo fabric blocks can be washed in cold water, dried on cool. We use a lot of them for our custom quilts.

Printed photo blocks also nicely duplicate color photos and artwork for custom quilts.

Depending on what else you add to the custom photo fabric blocks, you may want to dry clean the fabric to protect the embellishments.

Let us know what you end up making!
