3 Ways to Use El Wire

Step 5 Embroidery

This technique was a great chance to utilize our Singer embroidery machine.  Several experiments taught me that even the heavy pleather I was using needed to have a stabilizer behind it!  Follow the instructions for your embroidery machine, as I'm assuming you have one if you're attempting this technique.

Choose the points at which the wire will poke through the front, and use fray check or white glue to secure the embroidery threads at this point.  Once the glue is dry, make little slits through the fabric to run your wire through.

Secure wire over the embroidery with either matching or invisible thread.
