In addition to experimenting with lovely fibers to use in the joining stitches, I began experimenting with embellishing the wool. To the left you see two samples of thread embellishing on the fulled wool. The decorative stitching in the left sample is done with variegated cotton threads and Sliver Lame metallic threads. I didn't adjust any special tension settings, just sewed as normal. The aqua sample shows machine embroidery done on the fulled wool. Of course you cannot hoop the fulled wool because it is too thick. I hooped some of the peel off/sticky paper so that the sticky part is to the top of the hoop, then I stuck the wool onto the sticky paper. I covered the top of the wool with two layers of the clear plastic washaway stabilizer to keep the stitches up on top of the wool. I have since experimented with machine embroidery on the fulled wool quite extensively and have not had any serious limitations. I tend to choose designs that have open areas in the design where the thickness of the fabric can puff up (lacy designs, blackwork designs, silhouettes, etc.) rather than designs where entire areas are stitched and flattened. The only problem I have encountered is LINT. When you sew on fulled wool, you don't get dust bunnies down there by your bobbin, you get dust dionosaurs!
