- Requirements
This ebook is great for learning skills of dimensional work along with the basics of machine embroidery. The petals of the poppies and leaves are hanging free to give a 3-D effect of a real plant and the embroidery gives them character and shape. Also available as a pattern.
- 4" flower color (poppy)
- 4" light green (leaves)
- 12" dark green (leaves, border, binding)

- 16" backing
- 16" compressed batting or similar fine batting

- Matching and contrasting machine embroidery threads for flowers and leaves. I have chosen four, one the color of the poppy petals, one the color of the poppy centers, and two for each green.

- Neutral colored thread for piecing the background
- Suitable thread for quilting (I prefer to use invisible nylon thread on the top with Metrolene overlocking thread for the bobbin) Other threads are acceptable.
