For those that don't know what a Wing Needle is:
A normal needle with little wings that come out at the sides. Looks a little like a spear when looked at from the front. This needle pierces the material and pushes the threads away creating a small hole. The needle and bobbin thread hold the hole open.
Wing Needle Instructions
I starched the fabric twice and did not use any stabilizer. I used cotton thread with the wing needle and set the tension to 1 notch more then for normal sewing. Then for the second part I changed the needle to a normal 12, turned the tension down for embroidery, 1 to 2, used embroidery thread and did the satin stitching. I did my center on organdie, but then did the same on plain polycotton material and was very pleased with the results. Please don't rotate the designs as you may get unusual results, you may mirror vertically or horizontally with no problems.
Enjoy!!!
