Two more Angels ready to stitch...this weeks project...
This is what I put on the back of my stitcheries...it is called "Weaveline"....it is very light you just iron it to the back of your work and stitch...it is amazing, it gives the right amount of stability for your work with no bulk at all....so what does everyone else use??
Just love spring this is my Banksia Rose which is at our back door...just gorgeous....Back to work tomorrow after a three day long weekend......enjoy your day.
Too bad this isn't smellivision! Does the wonderful aroma waift into the house? We have white ginger strategically planted so the trade winds blow the sweetness in when they are in bloom.
ReplyDeleteLovely roses!
ReplyDeleteWeaveline is amazing indeed! We can’t buy it overhere, but I received some from a blogfriend and I love it.
I use weaveline too. It's great.
ReplyDeleteOur banksia rose is also looking great at the moment, it is next to a wire fence and is very big, almost like a tree! It must be old.
What do you use to trace your stitcheries on with? It looks like a green colour in the photo.

Have never heard of Weaveline before I am going to look for it up here in Queensland It sounds good.
ReplyDeleteHugs Mary.
Its a shame the banksia rose doesn't last all year round. It is the most beautiful rose.
ReplyDeleteOn the back of my stitcheries I use pallen. It seems to work Ok. I will have to try weaveline and see how it goes.
Im with you in trying to get more angel blocks done. See how we go.
Happy stitching.
Hi Peg
ReplyDeleteI usually use iron on pellon unitl I read daisy-jayne's blog saying she used light weight stabilizer so I decided to get some & I love it I am guessing it is similiar to what you use...won't be going back to pellon now..
Gorgeous Roses..I am jealous I don't have any Roses in this garden...well not yet anyway...
cheers

Yes I use Weaveline and i love it .Your roses look lovely . Spring time is just great with all the bulbs coming out in my garden they look so nice .
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing what you use to stabilize your stitcheries. I just love your roses. I wish it was spring here, but it is getting cooler by the minute.
ReplyDeletethank you for sharing what ou put behind the stitcheries. I was wondering about that.
ReplyDeleteWow..I love your roses! I also use something to iron on, don't know how it's called. Never heard of weaveline before but it sure sounds great to use for stitcheries!
ReplyDeleteHey Peg! I'm just back from my two weeks at the beach and look what you've been up to while I was away!! WOW! All that stitching, all those new quilt tops - I think you're going for a new record of the number of quilts finished in a year!! Pop on over for a visit to my blog - I've tagged you for a Seven Questions challenge - good for a giggle!! Your Angel Quilt top looks FANTASTIC, by the way!! Well done! Bear Hugs! KRIS (Tag Along Teddies)
ReplyDeleteYour roses are gorgeous. WOW!!! And as youknow I think your angels are always wonderful.
ReplyDeletei've only done a tiny bit of applique. (please don't fall over in shock)i started without knowing much and didn't have any stabilizer, so a friend asked if i had any coffee filters...so that's what i used. i so don't know any better. i'm going to check this out. thanks!
ReplyDeleteYour roses are stunning!
ReplyDeleteI use cheapy muslin to back my stitcheries. Good stuff in front, cheapy stuff for the back. I had never heard of Weaveline. Will have to see if anywhere around here carries it.
Your angels and roses are both gorgeous. I'll be watching spring usher in your flowers as fall is saying goodbye to ours. *s*
ReplyDeleteI'm still searching for it here in Canada, but muslin is good for backing and I did find a pellon #SF-101 that is 100% cotton and can be used as a backing for needlework. I found this on a road trip in the USA. I have yet to try it. I worry about the iron on fusing and what it may do to the stitchery down the road. Such as discolour the fabric, peel off, etc.
ReplyDeleteDo those roses smell? Wow I have never seen so many roses on a bush.
ReplyDeleteI don't think we can buy Weaveline in the U.S. I just put two layers of fabric together.
ReplyDeleteI call this rose the Lady Banks rose. I used to have one, but it was white. I like the yellow much better and yellow is what I was told mine was when I bought it!
Peg your roses are beautiful, what a gorgeous display. I've read in a fe of the Aussie mags and on blogs about weaveline but never quite knew what it was. I don't use anything behind my stitching, I don't use knots and not sure how the glue on the interacing will effect the embroidery threads I don't use anything iron on.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if we have something like weaveline here in the states.
ReplyDeleteYour roses are absolutely glorious! It must be pure heaven to walk out and smell those! I've never heard of weaveline! Must ask at the LQS about that.
ReplyDeleteYour roses are gorgeous and I just love your Angels! :)
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of weaveline.
ReplyDeleteYour roses are absolutely gorgeous!
I have a small piece of Weaveline that Lynette Anderson sent to me from Australia. I've not tried it yet but I think it will be wonderful. The pattern I'm going to do says to baste muslin to the back of each piece - I think I'd much prefer the Weaveline. I sure hope I can find something similar here in the states for all the stitcheries I want to do.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Weaveline before, and I will be on the lookout for some of it here. Gosh, those roses are beautiful. While you are going into Spring, Fall is definitely here. This morning, there was frost on the car windshield and I've been cozy sleeping under my quilts.
ReplyDeleteI never heard of Weaveline. I will either use some thin muslin at the back or nothing at all. Depends on what kind of stitchery it is.
ReplyDeleteLovely roses!
Hi Peg. Still loving your angels. I usually use weaveline or if I want a more quilted effect, thin iron on pellon. Both give good results.
ReplyDeleteChristine
Your Banksia Rose is gorgeous...does it smell?? I use Pelon on the back of my stitcheries...a very thin iron-on wadding like fabric,
ReplyDeleteCathy
I used to use pellon and now only weaveline.....wonderful stuff the only place I can find to get it is Cottage on the Hill........also love the banksia mine has also bee a mass of flowers......
ReplyDeleteWeaveline is the best!! Only discovered it the last year or so. I only now use pellon if I need a more quilted look

Hi Peg, I usually use 'Whisper Weft' for my quilt stitcheries, but am not "thrilled" with it. Have heared about Weaveline, but haven't been able to find it here. Do you know anyone that has it for sale on-line?
ReplyDeleteKind Regards..Judith from Taree NSW
I have never heard of Weaveline, but I shall purchase some - it sounds wonderful! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteLove your stitcheries - very sweet!
