Re: embroidery online web site

Agreed.  In fact, our modern attitude is so fearful about embroidered 
items.  In fact, the stuff (unless it's silk or cheap threads and not 
well-known brands) is BLEACHABLE!  I can hear all the sighs.

Embroidery is not just for "heirlooms" and frames and treasures in a 
drawer.  It is to make our useful, everyday items more beautiful.

So, put it out your jackets, vests, napkins, bread covers, hanger 
covers, garment covers, aprons, kitchen towels (well, not on mine - I'm 
a slob in the kitchen - so maybe guest towels.
