Will these work well on cotton that has been quilted. I am quilting and I need a way of doing very small additions in addition to embroidery.

I used these on a 100% cotton t-shirt. This shirt has been washed and dried many, many times (at least 30 times). The ink has begun to fade slightly. I don't think a quilt would get the hard wear that this shirt has.

If you are referring to a pillow quilt, it will work but use light pressure, a more heavy firm quilt will work best. Pillow quilt could allow for the ink to spread if not used with light pressure because of the fabric being thinner. I have found that this are best on Cotton, Rayon, and Polyester.

These pens are great, however the tip is not small. They have a long tip, that looks similar to a paint brush that I would think would make small detail work hard.

I haven't used them on polyester, I would think they should work just fine. Maybe test them out on an extra pillowcase before putting to much work into it.

anything of good quality. using substandard threads in your machine can goof up the inner workings of where the thread runs through your machine. also when you do some reading about doing machine embroidery, different threads can be used for different applications.

I have only used it with quilting cotton fabrics. I think it will work well on any weight cotton but silky fabrics may be a problem.

Have not used them on denim, but have used them on some heavy fabrics and they work amazing. Hope this helps.

Well, yes, and no. I found these towels great for embroidery! They washed well, no ironing needed!! They took transfer well, and were so long, that I was able to cut a couple in half to use. I thoroughly enjoyed embroidering these, and it seemed to go fast! But these towels aren't vintage in any way, and are a nice crisp white. You could have a lot of fun altering these to look more vintage, so,....enjoy !!!

I have always used the washable--so i could machine wash my quilts (most are used not just displayed or hung)...my belief is that the other wool batting was not suitable for washing......

I use them as napkins and all around kitchen towel, not the fancy dinner type, the we are a family with sticky fingers from chicken. I believe they would be a bit thin for embroidery unless you are just doing a single letter.

They worked great on tablecloths!!! I did not use on rougher fabric so not sure about that.

Yes - just know that the taks are small and you'll spend a lot of time pulling them out later - I would suggest using a staple puller the slide under kind that catch the staple/tak - then go over the quilt again and look for all the ends that don't fall out. I loved it for my larger quilts

I would recommend checking out the Project Library at www.emblibrary.com to learn how to machine embroider on these type towels. It can be done and mine have turned out fine. As someone below mentioned, I wouldn't recommend light stitches (open hand or machine embroidery) on these as the threads will get lost in the pile. A design with a higher stitch count will work perfectly. Enjoy!

Although I haven't personally tried it for quilting I would recommend this thread. It's great for the price and I haven't had any issues with it in my machine.

Hello Karen, I purchased white ones and I think they'd work well for embroidery. The weight of the fabric is substantial enough to support the embroidery. I'd wash them first though. Good luck!

Yes if they aren't used much. It is a good song velcro.... But not meant for sewing. Hope that helps!

I sent quilts overseas. They didn't have to do anything with them when they received them, but if it is clothes, particularly cotton types, I would think you would need to do so.

I used them on pillowcases. You can almost use them on any shirts or material. Be sure and put wax paper or something between the fabric is like a t shirt or pillowcases.
